Fur Free Friday and Stop Staples Shoppinf Day ROUND 2!
The people asked for it and here it is... Fur Free Friday and Stop Staples Shopping Day Round 2! That's right, though we do not want to make any less of the traditional global day of action Fur Free Friday we also feel that one Friday isn't enough. Fur season and "Fashionists" are in force and we plan and will stop them. Join Philly Animal Defense League and Bash Back! Philly for another round of uncompromising love and liberation. What: Fur Free Friday and Stop Staples Shopping Day ROUND 2! When: Friday, December, 2008 at 4:00 PM Where: meeting at Love Park corner of John F Kennedy Blvd & N 15th St Why: Because the capitalists and "fashionists" who profit, enjoy and wear animal abuse, exploitation and murder must and will be stopped. Philly Animal Defense League (Philly ADL) here wanting to shout out our support and love to you all. Philly ADL is a horizontal grassroots collective dedicated to dismantle ALL systems of oppression, hierarchy and exploitation. The deep rooted connection between all forms of oppression lies with the way oppressive power structures ruled by heartless corporate “industries” view and treat other-than-humyn animals as nothing more than commodities that are incapable of feeling pain, sorrow, neglect, loneliness and isolation. These institutions stretch far beyond the relatively powerless governments that subsidize and protect their interests, subsequently disenfranchising and exploiting vulnerable individuals for their profit. The current relationship between humyn and other-than-humyn animals is an issue of oppression, hierarchy and exploitation that needs to be addressed and fundamentally dismantled and restructured. Philly ADL supports and fights beside all struggles for liberation. We strive for a world free of speciesism, eco-devastation, white supremacy, patriarchy, queerphobia, transphobia, white domination, ableism, ageism and ALL forms of oppression. That is why we are taking aim at these monoliths of oppression and greed by means of protest, education and supporting direct action. We will never back down, never compromise and WE WILL ALWAYS WIN! Bash Back! Philly isis a network of radical, anarchist and anti-authoritarian queer projects within the United $tate$. Bash Back! seeks to critique the ideology of mainstream LGBT movement, which the group sees as assimilation into the dominant institutions of a heteronormative society. Bash Back! is noticeably influenced by the anarchist movement and other radical queer groups, such as ACT UP and Gay Shame, and takes inspiration from the Stonewall and White Night riots. Fur Free Friday: This winter holiday season millions of dollars will flow in and out of this capitalist system. Sweatshops, blood diamonds, toxic toys and oh yes animal abuse will all be bought. Or at least attempted to be bought. This Friday, November 28th set your calendar and get ready to take action in defense of all life and to be a clog to the flow of capital on buy nothing day. This Friday, December 5th take part in Fur Free Friday and Stop Staples Shopping Day ROUND 2! Autumn is here, and “fashionists” everywhere are buying, selling, or writing about fall wardrobes. Don’t forget an essential day in the fall “fashion season” - Fur Free Friday! Each year over 50 million animals are murdered for fashion by the fur industry. Around the world that number is even higher. The majority of the animals spend their entire lives on fur farms where every natural instinct is denied to them. Animals on fur farms often show tell tale signs of insanity such as nervous pacing, self-mutilation and cannibalism. In the end, these animals die a painful death at the hands of the fur farmer. For the millions of animals that are trapped in the wild, the fate is no better. Often animals caught in traps attempt to chew off their own leg to escape, some bleed to death before the trapper arrives and others succumb to predators. Not to mention, cats, dogs and other "non-target" animals are often caught in these traps as well. Unwanted, these animals are thrown away or let free with fatal injuries. For the animals that do survive until the trapper arrives, death is inevitability. Animals are killed for their fur using such methods as gassing, trapping, anal or vaginal electrocution, neck breaking, stomping, clubbing or drowning. To make one fur coat the following number of animals suffer and die: 12-15 lynx Take action in a town near you. Take action on a global buy nothing day. Strike at the money that capitalism feeds on. Strike at the abuse the speciesism lives on.

What do they have to hide? Perhaps they don?t want others to know that they supply the bloody butchers and animal abusers at Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS). Huntingdon Life Sciences (HLS) is a company whose primary business is death and suffering. They kill 500 animals every day for product testing - not for medical progress and not because they are seeking to find a cure for human diseases. They murder these little creatures for things like toothpaste and tanning lotion and food additives like Splenda and caramel coloring. They have been implicated in six undercover investigations for scientific fraud, gross incompetence and vicious animal abuse. A global campaign to shut down HLS for good has seen many hundreds of companies, ditch HLS. Despite this, Staples continues to deliver them office supplies. Actions in Britain and the U.S. have sent a loud and clear message to Staples that activists will stop at nothing to steer companies away from HLS and drive them out of business. Tell Staples to drop HLS in the US: 1-800-3STAPLE (1-800-378-2753) No justice. Just us. Find a Staples near you and take action to turn all those potential shoppers away from Staples. Staples has been warned before. Staples has been demonstrated against countless times. Now let's strike at Staples where it hurts them most... their profits. As the global anti-HLS campaign has told Staples around the world before... HLS needs Staples but Staples does not need HLS and does not need us. Be young! Have fun! Smash HLS! Stop Staples Shopping Day! Fore more information on Huntingdon Life Sciences visit: http://www.insideHLS.com http://www.staples.com ======================================

Fur Free
Submitted by Dr. Joseph Portland (not verified) on Mon, 01/19/2009 - 1:06amThis is the right thing to do. Animals shouldn't be killed just for fashion. Why not just find an alternative. I'm with you all the way.
