Last week, while walking through Kensington, I noticed a small group of protesters, who judging by their use of gruesome photos of slaughtered animals and stuffed dogs in traps, implied that they were protesting the use of animal fur in clothing. But given their location in front of the Pointe Building, I didn’t really understand their message.
What bothered me, beyond the completely non-surprising fact that many of their claims were suspect, was that they were blocking the entrance to four other small businesses, all which depend on busy Saturday street-traffic. I asked this group if they were concerned about the negative effect they were having on the surrounding business, at which point they shoved blown-up photos of mutilated animals in my face and asked if I cared about animal cruelty

I agree fully with the article, some of the images they use is downright disturbing. Plus the mob mentality of the protest usually just makes me end up taking another route home and ignore the subject they are protesting all together.
