I am so happy to hear from you. I've been hoping to get in touch with anti-fur activists in Japan to at least congratulate them for the fantastic anti-fur demos I have seen on Youtube.
I am working with animal groups in China, and am happy to say that one of the groups is starting an anti-fur activism there that becoming very effective. As for giving the names or addresses of Chinese fur farms is another story since as you know, China does not offer the kind of freedom we have in our countries. I will eventually be able to have access to such information, but the time has not come yet. I have a few videos and other information on this page that you may have not seen yet: http://www.antifursociety.org/All_about_furs.html which includes the short version of the video “FUN FUR?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIJCQdWbSJM and this document http://voiceofthevoiceless.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/the_blueprint.pdf which is produced by a friend. I have one or two more of these documents that may interest you, but I need to look for them. The full version of “FUN FUR” is a 14 minute video which is not on Youtube, but if you like I can find a way to send it to you.
One other thing I am very interested to know is if you and other people in your anti-fur group could participate in our anti-fur conference to be held May 31 – June 2, in Washington DC. This is our second conference which represents an effort to gather anti-fur activists worldwide to participate to share their experiences, and join forces with all the others. It would be fantastic if the Japanese group could participate.
If there is a way you could combine a short vacation to Washington DC to include our conference, I would be delighted to have your group join us in a anti-fur activism workshop at the conference. We will have people from many parts of the US and other countries. The Japanese group would be a great addition to our conference. Please see more information on our website http://www.AFSConference.org - I also sent out a newsletter about it, here’s the link: http://www.mynewsletterbuilder.com/email/newsletter/1411544033 . Please let me know if the conference is something possible for you and your group.
