XZOOBEARANCE supported petaDishoom

SIES Zoology Department organized their first-ever department festival XZOOBEARANCE 2006, and petaDishoom was there. Our documentary of the cruel treatment of animals for leather was screened at the venue, and visitors had a chance to view a display of pictures from PETA India’s investigations of the transport and slaughter of animals for leather and meat. Street Teamers were present to talk about petaDishoom, distribute information about animal rights and our campaigns.

‘Bloody’ Mannequins Take Over Burberry’s London Store

Five human mannequins wearing furs donated to PETA for demonstration purposes by people who now refuse to wear the stuff spattered with fake blood occupied the foyer windows of the Burberry London store. Two of the activists chained themselves to the inside of the windows and had to be cut out by police. The action, which marked the launch of an international Bloody Burberry campaign, was taken after Burberry refused to shed fur from their collections.
