AAA says they “..encourage(s) participation from everyone opposed to animal exploitation, regardless of age or experience.” {Link without Title} They claim to use Non-violent Direct Action and have used Civil Disobedience to win Animal Rights campaigns. They are the New Zealand contact for the Animal Liberation Front prisoner support network. {Link without Title} AAA also act as an agent for SHAC in New Zealand, targeting customers.[http://www.shac.net/SHAC/global.html ECOLOGICAL POSSUM FUR? AAA were the first group to oppose possum fur marketed as eco-friendly, this policy was accompanied by protests at New Zealand Fashion Week. Rochelle Rees from AAA believes: “..the promotion of possum fur would lead to an unsustainable demand, as it had with rabbits and foxes.” {Link without Title} Auckland Animal Action can be mainly credited with creating an environment in Auckland that is hostile to Fur retailers after the fur clothing revival.[http://www.craccum.com/2005/21newmarket.htm Criticism of AAA’s anti-possum fur policy comes from David Farrer who says “I see the Auckland Animal Action Group justify their opposition to use of possum fur, because "to wear a dead animal's skin is disrespectful to the animal". Well killing our trees is disrespectful also, and the possums started it!”. Farrer is an outspoken farmer and anti-ecologist. {Link without Title} - An AAA Site AAA main site Newmarket Terrorists Article |
