Report back on fur protest at J.Malnick of Oakland
We held another successful protest at J.Malnick Clothing in Oakland. The store sells both full length fur coats and fur trimmed items as part of their inventory
On Saturday, February 2, a number of animal rights/liberation activists demonstrated for about three hours outside of J.Malnick Clothing at 1901 Broadway ST. in Downtown Oakland. J.Malnick is Oakland's only major fur retailer, which sells both full length fur coats and fur-trimmed items as part of their inventory.
We turned many customers away (who vowed to never shop there again) much to the dismay of the overbearing employees. These customers had no idea that the owner Warren Malnick is a notorious slumlord and death profiteer. The activists were repeatedly harrassed and threatened by Mr. Malnick who taunted the activists as he entered his brand new Audi bought with the blood of the animals and humans that he has exploited. One employee (pictured) threatened to "slap the shit out of" us.
Call J.Malnick at 510-808-0308 and demand that they stop selling fur. Let's flood them with calls.

Check out the film McLibel, about the two British folks who took on McD's and won. Horrid truths about animal treatment in the docu. Hail to you protesters. Very brave. It is annoying to get the kind of reaction you got from that employee, but par for the course. Today, I saw a ridiculous mob in front of a fashion boutique. Apparently they only allow a few consumers in at a time! I went directly to their door and said the sidewalk was being obstructed and that this was dangerous for the elderly and people in wheel chairs. The employee was arrogant and told me, "Those are OUR customers." He then slammed the door and locked it. Would be nice if injustice was outlawed instead of us justice seekers feeling like outlaws...
