Fur-Free Friday, an annual event that takes place the Friday after Thanksgiving, aims to educate people about the horrors suffered by fur-bearing animals. Organized originally in 1986 by grassroots activists to abolish the fur trade, Fur-Free Friday has grown to be one of the most widely attended annual demonstrations of the animal rights movement. Through protests, education, and the promotion of cruelty-free fashion, LCA gives a voice to the millions of animals who suffer and die each year.
This year marks LCA‘s, Last Chance for Animals, 18th annual Fur-Free Friday, a grassroots event that brings hundreds of protesters to Beverly Hills, CA, to spread the message that people should not wear or buy fur.
The march goes through the streets of Beverly Hills visiting all the fur stores on the famous Rodeo Drive. LCA’s Animal News Van will accompany marchers and educate onlookers by playing video footage about the horrors of the fur trade.
California Residents can join LCA’s Protest, Friday, November 24th, 11am to 2pm at the Beverly Gardens Park in Beverly Hills. Or click here to find out about protests planned for your area.
