Portland, Oregon – Late November

I’ve been working on a project that is conducive  me to walking around various neighborhoods. These photos are not necessarily related to that project.

Fur Free Friday – Downtown Portland

On Black Friday, 200+ animal right supporters rallied in Portland, OR calling for an end to animal cruelty in the fashion industry. Organized by the Portland branch of In Defense of Animals, supporters followed a police escort through the downtown streets making brief stops Nordstroms, Unger Furs, Macy’s and Sac’s Fifth Avenue. At each stop, Matt Rossell, of In Defense of Animals, spoke briefly on the plight of animals and the businesses involved in furthering their suffering.

60 dead minks, one fur coat.
20 dead beavers, one fur coat.
30 dead raccoons, one fur coat.
10 dead foxes, one fur coat.

I am proud to support the efforts of In Defense of Animals, Mercy for Animals and other organizations promoting a vegetarian/vegan diet and bent on ending the mistreatment of animals.
