Store Threatens Legal Action Against Boycotters of Fur Products

national | animal rights | news report Wednesday July 17, 2002 22:37 by Animal Rights Action Network

The (ARAN) has being organising all sorts of pressure to get Heirlooms located on cruises street in limerick city to abandon their sale of Cat Rabbit Fur Figurines.

The thing is, the store is being so awkward and can easily do their part to stop
the suffering in a big way by refusing to sell and stock these - and its not as
if the shelves will empty. Also the store has written to ARAN telling us of
apparent legal action if we did not call off the boycott and keep telling
protesters, people that write or call or call into the store to speak with their
solicitors - but the thing is the final decision is not with their solicitors
but with the store. There being so awkward and so will we.

Please, yet again there has being two great peaceful and legal demos at their
store, three phone blockades and we know of lots and lots of letters are being
sent in including letters from big animal protection groups. But we need to tell
Heirlooms that the decision is with them not the solicitors and that legal
action cannot silence peaceful protest and to stop the sale of real rabbit fur.

Please find the time to politely write later today, tonite or tommorow and even
better try and fax and call the store.

Heirlooms

Limerick City.

This is a campaign that can be won, after one demo Guiney's of ireland
decided never to use rabbit fur figurines again - and the market is growing with
sightings being reported by activists in cork.
