What are you doing next Friday? Skip the boring mall lines, and speak up for animals! Fur-Free Friday (the day after Thanksgiving every year) is an international day of action against the fur trade, when all around the world, people stand up and raise their voices for animals who are suffering on fur farms.

    Hi! Just letting you know, I organized my own protest in White Marsh Mall In Baltimore, Maryland. We only got 7 people to come, but we definitely took a stand and spread the word! We also gave people a card with the link to your chinese fur trade video, and passed out peta2 leaflets! It was definitely successful! We will be back next year!(:

    Aww! :| I wish I was in Ottawa or Kitchener. I’m waay down south in Ontario. I’d host my own, but my little town doesn’t have very many animal activists… and protests get REALLY awful, almost like a riot.

    They need one in Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
    I would have no idea how to host something like this, but I would definitely attend one.

      KC – that’s unfortunate, but you can make a difference by yourself. One person is far better than none and can definitely have an impact.

      I’ve organized protests and had only 5 people show up, even if you’re out there taking a stand those 3,4,5 people are better than none! :)

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
