29.03.2008 - New York City (USA)
Escada - Fifth Avenue, New York City
Fifth Avenue again shook with activist’s angry voices as they vented outrage at Escada´s refusal to remove fur from their designs. Once again it was noted that Escada was quite free of customers and the staff looked even more dejected then usual. Midway through the demonstration, news was received that a boat carrying seal hunters capsized in the ice-covered waters off Canada´s East Coast that morning! Bolstered by the outstanding news that there will be one less death vessel stalking baby seals this year, activists resumed their chants with renewed vigor and intensity.
Saks Fifth Avenue - Escada Concession
Activists gathered in front of Saks Fifth Avenue, home to an Escada concession. Voices raised in chant along with graphic posters of the fur industries victims grabbed the attention of everyone on the heavily traveled sidewalks. Fliers detailing the murderous cruelty that Saks supports were widely distributed. Many individuals sickened by the animal abuse that Saks promotes, promised to join the boycott and pass on the information to family and friends. Activists vowed to return again and again until Saks drops their Escada concession.
