DAY 4: RECRUITING FOR
FUR
PATROL/ FUR S.W.A.T.
On our 4th Day of Xmas for 2009, we turn our
attention to the selling of fur. In keeping with our commitment to making New
York City fur free, next year we will be launching our "FUR PATROLS", or FUR
S.W.A.T.s. Training for Fur Patrol will be available at the WAR website after
the first of the year. Certification will be relatively easy after completion of
the on-line training modules on spotting, hunting and bagging fur hags. Upon
completion of coursework, qualified candidates will be accredited and given FUR
PATROL badges authorizing their activities.
Our mission will be to patrol
Midtown Manhattan streets (or any other village, town or city) in search of fur
hags (both male and female....we don't discriminate). When we find them they
will be tagged, bagged and photographed for a new "FUR HAG GALLERY" on the WAR
website. Once tagged, a fur hag will be educated about the horrors of the fur
industry in the nicest, most compassionate ways possible. The cold weather this
weekend should see many of these hideous ignorant targets walking the streets of
New York City.
This weekend will be one of the biggest shopping weekends
of the year, especially for high end designers and retailers. Please join us in
support of three extremely important campaigns, as well as our on-going
campaigns against any NYC stores that sell fur. The first two are global
campaigns to make Escada and MaxMara fur free. The third is a local campaign,
near and dear to our hearts, and that is the campaign to get New York City's
premiere fur ghoul, Dennis Basso to go fur free.
Join us for anti-fur
street action in New York City. This will be a roving protest very much like on
Fur Free Friday. If you get to the meeting point late and we are not there,
call: 1-646-267-9934
When: Saturday, December 19, 2009 @ 3:00 pm*
Where: Prada - 724 Fifth Ave. & 56th St. (next door to Abercrombie & Fitch)
(note: although we are meeting at Prada, this may or may not be our first
protest location)
Whether you are joining us for demos in New York
City or wish to participate from wherever you are, now is the time to make those
phone calls and send those e-mails and letters. The stores are busy, lets remind
them that millions of animals have suffered and died for their shopping and
selling pleasure. Remember that every call you make to retail outlets during the
busy holiday weekend directly impacts their ability to sell fur. If you are
coming to demos, please dress for very cold weather and wear comfortable shoes
as we will be doing a lot of walking. The more comfortable you are, the longer
you will stay out to be the voice of those who cannot speak for themselves.
