Anti-fur protest in Union Square

Around 150 protesters against the use of fur made their presence felt in the Union Square area of San Francisco on November 29, the busiest shopping day of the year. They marched through the throngs of consumers chanting anti-fur slogans, and passed out flyers which said forty million animals a year world-wide are killed for their fur. Activists have organized a boycott of Neiman-Marcus, which they re-named Neiman Carcass, and they protested at the doors of the department store, where they were met by police.
