Sound advice for trappers or fur farmers. - 03/10/08 07:43 PM
We need to be very aware that not everyone who offers to give good press coverage or look at your fur industry in a positive way is really going to present us in that manner.

Eco-terror court cases continue in the Pacific Northwest, drawing
followers. A recent ELF arson resulted in $7 million in damages to
Seattle-area "Street of Dreams" showcase homes. So we urge all to
remain alert and call in any suspicious activity so we can share with
law enforcement.
To learn the details about how eco-terrorists work, please take time
to listen to Peter Young's recent presentation in Santa Cruz.

Peter Young, a Mercer, WA resident who took a cross country tour with
Justin Samuel, caused over a million dollars in damages to mink farms
in several states. After several years in jail, Young is unrepentant.
He is now engaged in indoctrinating others via a cross-country
recruitment tour coordinated by his agent

which also handles tours for Black Panthers, the Weather Underground
and GreenIsTheNewRed.com, a group organized to battle eco-terrorism
laws.
Young will be a speaker at the 2008 Animal Rights Conference in Salt
Lake City (April 25 to 27).

Peter Young will also be featured in an animal rights propaganda film currently under production. "The Skin Trade," focusing on the natural fiber fur clothing business, is being produced by Shannon Keith of Studio City, California and her Uncaged Films and funded by her non-profit group ARME (www.arme.tv). Keith's claim to fame is acting as a lawyer with clients such as Sea Shepherd and SHAC (www.animal-rights-lawyer.com/about.html) and her production of the ALF's promotional video "Behind the Mask" which is used globally to recruit more ALFies to commit more crimes so lawyers such as Keith can defend them.
In an interview (www.animalvoices.ca/shows/shannon_keith3) Keith
announced "The Skin Trade" (www.skintradethemovie.com;
http://www.myspace.com/skintradethemovie.com) will "include people who are for fur, such as retailers, designers, and fur farmers." For a bloggers view of Keith's current project, visit

Per Keith, "The Skin Trade" will focus on designers "who make fur
popular," including interviewers with predominantly male designers who use only synthetics telling natural fiber designers that what they do is "not cool." Keith believes the work of designers is responsible for the resurgence of fur and states her film will "effect the designers."
Ignoring cold winters and the wholesale rejection of synthetic fibers in favor of renewable biodegradable natural fibers such as real fur, Keith states, there is "no justification for killing an animal for vanity" and that it's "insane that we haven't evolved beyond fur." We assume her idea of evolution is to de-evolve from natural fibers to petro-chemical-based synthetics for cold weather clothing. It is unlikely that the film with focus on the costs of such production (lack of sustainability, pollution, disposal issues, war and conflict).
The movie will include an international focus, addressing issues in the US, Canada (seals) and China. For good measure, footage of leghold traps will be included and she'll ask why there is no U.S. ban on leghold traps which, of course, are commonly used by wildlife experts, biologists and hunters in the field. Keith noted that her production company is getting their own footage of leghold traps so we can only hope her film crew has a trapping permit and has attended clas
