Fur free? if only . . .


The day after Thanksgiving used to be called “Black Friday.” It had to do with major holiday shopping and retailers’ hopes to move financially out of the red and into the black.

That day’s also known as “Fur Free Friday” now. Animal activists converge on sites where fur garments and clothes with fur trim are sold to let everyone within earshot know the horrors behind fur: how innocent animals who can’t speak for themselves are brutally murdered so humans can wear fur.

On Friday afternoon, three activist groups met in NYC to protest at Lord & Taylor then at Macy’s. From NewJerseyNewsroom.com, here’s the link to a story that was written about the event and its leaders: http://www.newjerseynewsroom.com/nation/nj-anti-fur-demonstrators-confront-ny-shoppers-on-black-friday
