CAFT Anti-Fur Week of Action
The annual anti-fur week of action calls on local groups to do demos
or info stalls in this week to highlight the plight of animals killed
for their fur to satisfy a sick need for fashion! The week of action
kicks off with a National Anti Fur March and Rally on Saturday 17th
October in London, so please keep this date free in your diary. More
details will be posted closer to the time but please do something in
this week to make a difference to fur bearing animals.
For more details nearer the time keep an eye on this page, or check
