The Summer Olympics begin on 08.08.08 in Beijing. The event represents that countries can put politics aside to come together in peace so that their athletes can compete. How wonderful that is!
But protests about China, the host country, have been numerous in the weeks leading up to the Opening Ceremonies, particularly for their notorious human rights abuses. No doubt, these issues demand attention. But in my constant quest to bring attention to the plight of suffering animals, who have no voice to protest their abuses, I'm joining with PETA to raise awareness of China's barbaric dog and cat fur industry. I'll leave the horrific details of it to your imagination.....but please take a moment to SIGN A PLEDGE to never buy or wear fur, as several of the Olympic athletes already have. This simple act is changing minds, consumer habits, and ultimately the welfare of animals worldwide. Evidence includes the promise by leading fashion designers -- including Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren & Ann Taylor -- to adopt permanent fur-free policies.
