    Default Against Disney's cooperation with meat industry in Croatia

    Animal Friends Croatia have launched a campaign with an aim of ending the cooperation between Disney and PIK Vrbovec, since it is unacceptable that Disney's cartoon character Mickey Mouse should advertise meat pâtés, hot dogs, sausages, and hamburgers, which are unhealthy for children and a result of terrible suffering of animals in intense farm breeding. Please, support our campaign and send the letter to Disney.

    Thank you for support,

    vuycha

    Thank you. Unfortunately, they are at every store. American writer Bruce Sterling was recently in Croatia and he also found this products in store. He took the photo of Mickey Mouse pate and posted it in his blog http://blog.wired.com/sterling/2007/...-mouse-cr.html. We will write him today and ask him for cooperation in this campaign.

    Maybe for you is 'laku noc' (good night), but here is 'dobro jutro' (good morning)

    bok, vuycha

    I don't think he's likely to co-operate, I'm afraid -

    Yes, well, he posted our letter to him instead of letter to Disney. It seems he does not feel so bad about this problem. Well, we tried...

    From the good side, several hundreds of letters from Croatia and all around the world was sent today, the first day of campaign. I was up to my eyeballs in emails, answering to all those good, bad, friendly, smart, stupid, ignorant, supportive or evil comments and questions. We have a lot of people who sign-in for our info list, but not all of them are vegs or AR supporters. Every time we start new campaign, in first 8 hours we receive dozens of emails of all possible kinds. Now that knee-reaction of emails is over, it's breathing time again.
