Thomas Cook demos in Holland

Thomas Cook in Arnhem. This was in a very busy market area and when the bullhorns started and pictures of mutilated monkeys were shown to a huge audience they stopped shopping and took notice of our demo. A few of us went into the office and made a lot of noise and some stayed outside with signs. Hundreds of people were horrified to learn that Thomas Cook was proffiting from such a horrible place. As this was a mobile demo we didn't stay long but long enough for hundreds of people to learn about Mauritius and Thomas Cooks and to learn our slogan "Don't Thomas Cook it! Book Elsewhere".

We then moved on to our next target: Thomas Cook in Utrecht. Just ten minutes before closing we entered the office and had a very loud demo. The demos seem to be getting more and more angry and this was no exception. We were so loud that people outside on the street a few blocks away were looking towards Thomas Cook and again more people learning about the dirty primate trade and the part that Thomas Cook plays! As a company that depends on the public this is bad news and we have just begun. Around the world Thomas Cook is being demoed. We are going to win - there will be no more monkey farms in Mauritius and maybe no more tourists.

We then jumped on our bikes and had a nice ride home.
