Supporters coming from Limerick, Clare, Galway, Sligo, Mayo, Kildare, Meath, Wexford and Waterford gathered outside the department with a huge banner reading ‘Ban Fur Farming in Ireland Now!’ others held placards with a picture of a fox’s face with the tagline ‘Your Fur Had A Face’. The supporters were also joined by another ARAN member holding a body screen TV showing live footage of a recent investigation into fur farming in China where no animal welfare laws exist, the footage was heartbreaking but made people who seeing the footage more eager to double their efforts to stop this animal suffering. Six Animal Rights Action Network volunteers also posed for photographers wearing blindfolds whilst holding signs reading ‘Minister Mary Coughlan: Ban Fur Farming in Ireland’.
