Upcoming Anti-Fur and Foie Gras Protests

Fur Free Auckland

There has been several stores identified as selling factory farmed fox and rabbit fur. They have all been given letters and information about the cruelty behind the fur trade. This Saturday, we will be having demos outside of stores in Newmarket who continue to sell this product. Last weekend, a demo was held outside of Orange Gal, who have a history of selling fur. While they had removed the fur-trimmed items from display last Saturday, they have not agreed to stop selling it and will put it back and continue to sell it in the future.

Meet at 11am Saturday 6/6, outside 277, corner of Morrow St and Broadway

Foie gras

Sabato are still selling foie gras, so we need to continue this pressure. We decided week-day demos were more effective so we will be outside Sabato next Thursday.

Meet at 2pm Thursday 11/6, outside Sabato, 57 Normanby Rd, Mt Eden.

Hope you see you all there!

Foie Gras is the diseased liver of birds that have been force feed for months usually in factory farms. During the force feeding process the birds are in constant pain with many left gasping for air and unable to move due to the amount of food they are force fed. Many cities and states around the world have banned the sale and producion of Foie Gras.

Protest against Foie Gras this Saturday

Protest against Sabato this Saturday 14th March.

11am-1pm
Meet at 57 Normanby Road, Mt Eden, Auckland

Sabato are having a flat bread-tasting event at this time. Come and inform their customers of the animal abuse they contribute to and how their business profits from the torture of innocent ducks and geese.

See you there! Bring friends and noise-makers.

Surprise Protest at Sabato

To step up the pressure on Sabato, AARC activists held a noisy and upbeat demo outside Sabato on Thursday afternoon for over two hours. Sabato are still refusing to remove foie gras from their shelves and have sent a clear message that they care more about profit than animals.

Police were called and two officers showed up reiterating our right to protest. However, they tried to intimidate us by declaring that the use of a megaphone was 'obstruction', if we were to continue using it we would be arrested for 'obstruction'. Knowing our rights and certain case law relating to megaphone use, the police seemed stumped as to what to do. Despite using the megaphone after their warning, no arrests were made.

Keep up the pressure! Come to Saturday's demo against Sabato

When: Saturday 18 Feb midday

Where: Sabato, meeting outside 57 Normanby rd Mt Eden
