The action against hypermarket "The world of fur and leather"
has led to a conflict
March 22th, Moscow. About 30 activists fighting for animal rights
entered all together the hypermarket "The world or fur and leather"
near the metrostation "Sokolniki". They were carrying a transparency
with an inscription on it "Leave fur for animals". The word fur was
crossed out. Also they were distributing leaflets, shouting out slogans
and talking about the real price of fur with a megaphone.
Some of the guards were trying to stop the activists, they snached the
transparency out of their hands and started to turn the activists out
of the hypermarket. As a result the defenders of fur-bearing animals
left the shop themselves and stood outside it shouting out the slogans.
First one of the customers or maybe even someone of those who worked in
that shop was trying to run the activists over, but then he took a gas
gun and began to shoot at activist's faces. In view of self-defence the
activists used gas for neutralizing the agressive fur-lover.
The action was timed to the regular season of fur-traders, who befin
that time to advertise themselves actively in order to get as much
profits as possible selling skin flayed of animals. Every year millions
of animals are violently killed at fur farms by means of electric
current being passed through anus, poison injictions or gas chamber.
Other animals are entrapped. Every year about 4 mln animals die in
traps in Russia. Being entrapped animals can die for hours suffering
from excruciating pain in splintered by prap paws.
Fur industry must be stopped! A lot of people in different countries
coming out against using natural fur are sure: fur industry must not
exist any more! A man can manage without clothes made of fur of
animals, protecting himself from cold with materials, produced without
