Indymedia York

The City of York Council currently allow animal circuses on their land and have been ignoring the complaints of local activists to ban live acts from their land.

The abominable "broken" spirit of the horse was back in York again this weekend and animal rights demonstrators were out in force prior to each show.

Moda in Pelle is a nice shoe shop but it has stocked fur for many years. They know about the cruelty and suffering involved in the production of fur, but do not care.

The York store is at 57 Low Petergate. 01904 627746.

A second day of demo’s was held at fur sellers in York. Members of Northern Animal Rights Network visited city centre stores over two days. As a result there are now only 6 locations in Yorkshire where fur can be bought. The previous day an action was staged outside Eduardo's of York.

First stop was Sarah Coggles (Colliergate), where banners were unfurled outside just in time for opening. After 45 minutes, the owner came out and asked protesters to come in for a meeting. He gave lemonade and assured us that the fur would be permanently removed and he didn’t know about the cruelty involved until it was brought to his attention. Well done Sarah Coggles!
