Video week two

Video/article link: http://videos.tf1.fr/infos/2011/la-fourrure-c-est-la-mort-6302292.html

Summary: Basically, this video is an interview with some people from a french organization named PETA. PETA is one of those aggencies that fights against animal cruelty. In the case of this video/event they are protesting the use of fur by companies in france. I am not sure if they fight other forms of animal cruelty but I would assume they do. Anyway, they are doing a protest in front of "l'Opera de Paris", a building that I assume holds the major operas in Paris and they are doing a play like thing where some fruity looking guys dressed as cats artistically kill this lady in a fur coat. It's a little silly to me but the crowed seemed to think it was good. The girl interviewed basically explained that they wanted this to be an artistic protest against anyone still using fur in their fashon etc. and points out that more and more people here in the US are getting rid of their fur.
