Fur free Friday Nov. 27

PEORIA -- Peoria Area Voices for Animals holds its annual fur-free Friday demo/protest on Friday, Nov. 27, from 1:30-2:30 pm at Brom’s Furs at the Metro Centre.  People are invited to join them.

"Signs will be provided or feel free to bring your own," an e-mail says. 

It continues:  "This is a great opportunity to speak on behalf of the millions of animals who suffer immensely and die horrific violent deaths just so heartless people can drape themselves in death.

"Fur coats are no longer popular among enlightened individuals, but the general public doesn’t seem to realize that the same suffering and death goes into the fur trim that so many people are wearing around their necks and wrists.

"Please join us and help educate the public about the inherent violence and cruelty of any amount of fur and help us urge everyone to shop compassionately this holiday season.

"Please don’t park in the Metro Centre as Peoria Police officers moonlighting as Metro Centre security will make you move your vehicle."

  • Telling the truth
    "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." George Orwell "I found that to tell the truth is the hardest thing on earth, harder than fighting in a war, harder than taking part in a revolution." Richard Wright, 1944.
  • From the News Release
    PeoriaStory will tell the stories that likely won’t be told by the mainstream/corporate media. It will question local political candidates for their views on controversial topics. It will cover and profile off-beat movements and people. It will take stands on issues such as the Kellar trail. It will also serve as a forum for liberal and progressive events, and welcomes news releases from groups working for the public good. PeoriaStory will be a fresh, new voice for the Peoria area blogosphere, and offer a liberal and progressive perspective for our times.
