> London Demo, meet 12noon, at Embassy of People's Republic of China, 49-51
> Portland Place, London W1N 3AH. (nearest Tube Oxford Circus or Regents Park)
> 
> In protest at China's reluctance to act against the horrific treatment of
> animals in its fur industry, an international day of protest will take place in
> front of Chinese embassies and consulates worldwide. Organizations and
> individuals from all over the world are invited to join this initiative. Please
> pass on the call, join an existing vigil, or organize one in your area or
> country. Wearing black is recommended.
> 
> NB remember this is a demo against China's role in the fur trade, not against
> Chinese people in general. If we are to have any hope of influencing the
> Chinese government, any racist or xenophobic behaviour will be
> counterproductive and unacceptable.
