Anti-fur demonstrators to hold demo

Anti-fur demonstrators will march in Dublin later today to protest against the number of fur-bearing animals killed each year in Ireland.

Members of the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade will bear a coffin of bloodied furs through the streets of the capital at around lunchtime.

The group claims that more than 130,000 mink and many thousands of foxes are killed by the fur trade each year for the sake of fashion.
