Anti-fur protest in fur shop (St.Petersburg)

Dec 9th 2006: Several actions against furs took place on the 9th and the 10th December by initiative of Alliance For Animal Rights ( http://aar.org.ru ). Actions were dated for The International Day of Animal Rights and were a part of campaign against fur auction "Soyuzpushnina".

On the 9th December in St-Petersburg were hold 2 actions of protest against fur trade. Activists had visited fur stores at the Nevsky prospect.

Not all activists could enter the first store, security had barred way to the other part of activists, but they unfold a transparency at the entrance and scanned slogans. Those who had broken through in the store were spreading and scattering leaflets against furs and were scanning slogans by own strength and with a help of a megaphone. Security guards behaved aggressively and tried to strike blows rushed, but activists did not begin involving in fight and have left.

The second store did not meat animal defenders with such aggression, all could freely enter and to give out to each customer and shop assistant on a leaflet. Was also used the megaphone, wit the help of which was messaged the object of the visit and were scanned slogans against furs. Security did not offer any resistance. Only stockman tried to push one of entered activists out to the door, but it wasn't effective. Some customers given a leaflet decided to leave the store. We hope they will now never again pay the death trade. When it became boringly, when all leaflets had been spreaded and had been told all what was necessary to tell, the animal defenders decided to leave. So both actions had passed successfully, no one had suffered or been arrested during them.

@ZarahLean Oh so now you go from environmentalist to as materialistic as possible with all your celebrities, just lets me know that you probably watch E! all day long and this discussion has no point at all with your hollywood mentality. Goodbye.

[ZarahLean]

@melblue87 Thanks, Clitty. This one is so full of lies, it is pathetic. That is the norm with the rat right to lifers. Any lie to further the wacko cause. Your housecat would torture and kill you in a minute for FUN if it were bigger than you. GET THIS STRAIGHT: Glam women and cool men will ALWAYS wear fur and leather and there is nothing you can do about it. From Madonna to Whitney Houston to Ashley Olson to Eva Longoria to Queen Elizabeth to Cher to...

@melblue87 I can't speak for Zarahlean, but I suggest you enter a lion enclosure to be with your loved ones. You have promoted hate of human beings so you belong with the animals you imagine yourself spokesman for. Oh, by the way, hold your breath till I need your fashion advice, you hypocrite.

[melblue87]

@ZarahLean Come on, now you say you're eco friendly for wearing fur? Humans suffer because they make each other suffer, animals only kill themselves to survive. We do it for fun, for their fur, leather, etc. Whenever I hear some person died attacked by an animal I say...we do worst things to them.

[clittyclitty1]

Like Russians will ever stop wearing fur or eating meat. Because you have decided to kill only plants. Pet owners are really the ones who abuse animals and are selfish.

[ZarahLean]

@melblue87 Dottie is right. You wrote "I hope they die" and exposed yourself as about as much of a righteous person as the abortion nuts who blow up clinics and kill for "life". Maybe someday you will feel that human life is worth more than minks..if and when you feel better about yourself. Sorry that I don't follow your dictates on what to wear or eat. Continue to pollute the atmosphere when you discard your un natural synthetic coats.

@Dottiecurran You're showing no humanity by contributing to that unnecessary massacre. Go ahead and keep wearing dead animals, if wearing someone else's skin makes you feel more luxurious than your own.
