'Tis the season to fight fur full-force, and our unstoppable campaigners have been doing just that. They took their eye-catching demos to cities across the Pacific Northwest to show folks the fur industry's horrific practices.


Campaigners in Seattle show the agony animals trapped for fur go through
Fur demo

Animals are left to languish in sickening steel-jaw traps for days. Often, they will force themselves to chew off the injured limb to free themselves in order to get back to their den to feed their young—only to bleed to death later. Those who are not "useful" are deemed "trash animals" and discarded to die.


Blood is flowing in Eugene, Oregon …
Fur demo

Since the fur industry tries hard to keep its methods under wraps, you'd best believe we will boldly display it on street corners, in living color!

So, give it up for our fearless campaigners!

PS While we're on the topic, here are detailed instructions on how to rescue an animal from a steel-jaw trap.

You guys are awesome! Very good demo. Its sick that people get a kick out of doing something like that to innocent animals who don't deserve it.
PeTA rocks!!! Woot!
(And since there is now a Burberry store at a mall i shop at, I make a point of saying loud comments about them so other people can hear)

when i saw the pics here, i thought 'omg this would say a lot without saying much'.

i saw animals in traps (and in pain) in my mind which were pretty realistic when i saw these pics; i think this campaigne is effective!

i want to do this campaigne too around my local area. where can i get the blood colored liquid and the trap??

Our group here in Denver do fur demos every Saturday, we would love to do this one!

Wouldn't passing out pamphlets be slightly more effective?

I love this demonstration...i just wish that the people that still wear fur would wake up and realize what the animals go through.
