Thomas Cook demo in Holland

Thomas Cook
One of the monkey supplying countries of HLS is Mauritius. As Mauritius is
heavily depending on tourism, we went out for one of the biggest travel agencies
for this island. The owners of the monkey facilities (CIELgroup) is also owning
the hotels on the island, so Thomas Cook is financing the owners of this evil
trade directly. We want Thomas Cook to boycott Mauritius, so Mauritius's only
solution is to close the monkey farms for once and for all.
We have written the Thomas Cook HQ a letter, together with leaflets and a
DVD of the torture of Mauritius monkeys at Covance. No answer. No surprise.
Action speaks louder than words and that's exactly what we were up to. We
went into a shoppingmall with a Thomas Cook inside. Soon we stood face to
face with customers and employees, shouting at all of them to drop Mauritius
now.
Ofcourse the people at the HQ don't care about their employees and didn't
inform them about the upcoming protests at Thomas Cook stores. So we caught
them by surprise. They all stood still - didn't move -didn't say anything.
We went on and on and made a lot of noise.
Then we continued outside the shop.
Loads of people were looking at
us and Thomas Cook, but not daring to get closer - angry as we were, the recent
undercover footage of Covance in our minds. The leaflets went up in the air,
for all the persons interested in knowing what was going on. Two guys of the
shop across thought they could push us outside, but we left voluntarily. Our
job done, mission accomplished.
Listen Thomas Cook. You have more then 180 offices in the Netherlands. We
will repeat this over and over again. Do the ethical thing. Close down the
farms at Mauritius.
