The only way this market can be curtailed is for it to become unprofitable. If enough buyers refuse to buy, the market dies, and the suppliers have to find another product to sell.

The only way to make a dent on the market is inform the greatest number of people about the cruelty of the product, and that means getting this message in the media.

AAS will be organizing a demonstration outside a Vancouver store that sells dog and cat fur trimmed goods sometime in January. Please send us the names and locations of any large stores where you see this being sold.

Let us know if you would like to be part of the planning of this event. We need people to have signs made, to get copies of the HSUS video, and to hear your creative ideas. Please email me at animaladvocates@telus.com and put "fur trim demo" in the subject line.
