Well done and thanks to everyone who turned up to the Swedish embassy
demo, report below, the Swedish activists also send their gratitude.
There were protests in 18 countries, and the London demo was featured
on Swedish National TV news, which you can see at the link below. <br>
<br>

Protestors from the UK joined a worldwide day of action calling for a
ban on fur farms in Sweden, following the recent undercover
investigation (see link below)
<p>Over 30 protestors held a noisy and vibrant protest outside the
Swedish Embassy in Montagu Place, Marylebone, London W1. We had
placards and gave out leaflets calling on the Swedish government to ban
fur farming, as of course it already is in the Uk. We also chanted
slogans such as "Fur Trade, Death Trade, Shame on Sweden"</p>
<p>Two representatives from the Embassy came out to talk to the
protestors. They said that they had been receiving protest letters and
phone calls at their embassies all over the world, they even named
quite a few of them! <br>
</p>
<p>And they said that the Swedish government was taking it very
seriously, and that they were looking into the regulations. We handed
them a leaflet, and told them that our message to the Swedish
government was that regulation was pointless, and only an outright ban
would stop the suffering. They listened carefully and said they would
pass on this message to the government. </p>
<p>A reporter from Sweden's Channel 4 TV turned up and filmed the
protest, and then interviewed one of the protestors. He also said that
it was massive news in Sweden. </p>

demo), plays on Realplayer<br>
