Context
Animal rights activists from the Animal Rights Center (ARC) staged an anti-fur demo in the fashinable heart of tokyo on October 25th 2009. Leading the Parade was a van containing graphic images of fur farms and two women in fur clothing carring sign that red "we are wearing dead animals." A large quantity of unwanted fur items had been donated and these were carried on sheet in a funural-like procession. The campaign hoped to raise awareness of the cruelty in the production of fur clothing which has become fashionable again for Japanese youth.
After the march the activists got together in a nearbt meeting hall to discuss further actions and learn more about animal rights issues. They were also shown details and excerts of the award-winning film, "The Cove" about Japan`s notorious dolphin cull by film promoter, michael Bailey.
