MADRID, Spain - Baring all in chilly weather, animal rights activists staged a naked protest Saturday in northeastern Barcelona to denounce the torture and slaying of animals to make fur coats.
Representing the number of minks it takes on average to make a fur coat, the 70 men and women lay down, curled up on the pavement outside Barcelona city hall.
The protest, staged by AnimaNaturalis and PETA international animal rights groups, was watched by several dozen passers-by.
In a statement, AnimaNaturalis said millions of animals were captured, tortured and killed each year to make fur coats. In Spain alone, 26 million animals - among them rabbits, foxes, minks and lambs - were killed in 2003 to make coats, the group said.
"If people could see the animals in fur farms, they would never use a fur coat," AnimaNaturalis president Leonora Esquivel, said in the statement. "The look on those animals' faces stays in your mind, a look that says: 'why?'

Barcelona
Unas setenta personas se han tumbado desnudas en el suelo, en la plaza Sant Jaume de Barcelona, para protestar contra el uso de pieles de animales para confeccionar prendas de vestir, según han informado los organizadores del acto.
Las asociaciones ecologistas y de defensa de los animales PACMA, Vida Universal, Plataforma Animalista de Manlleu, ProcNatur, FAADA, Altarriba, Fundación Fauna y ADDA, han convocado hoy un acto de protesta en el que setenta personas, el mismo número de visones que se mata para hacer un abrigo de piel, se han tumbado en el suelo simulando ser cadáveres para proponer una reflexión a los consumidores.
Los convocantes del acto han denunciado que cada año "millones de animales son capturados en trampas, ahogados o golpeados hasta la muerte y que los que proceden de granjas peleteras son gaseados, electrocutados o estrangulados".
Según estos grupos, la industria peletera "es una industria cruel" y aseguran que "nada justifica matar y arrancar la piel de los animales sólo para vestir la vanidad".
Los datos de estas asociaciones señalan que en el año 2003 se mataron más de 26 millones de animales para hacer abrigos, "dejando un beneficio de casi medio millón de euros".
