On November 25, 2005 members of Mercy For Animals held a silent vigil against the violent and bloody fur industry outside Easton Town Center Mall. The protest marked Fur-Free Friday, a national day of action held the day after Thanksgiving, traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year.

MFA members displayed signs, banners, and distributed literature describing how every year millions of animals are trapped, drowned, and beaten to death in the wild and gassed, strangled, and electrocuted on fur farms before being made into garments. Three caged fur-wearing activists illustrated the cruel conditions endured by animals on fur farms. Another MFA member wore a “body screen TV” which aired graphic footage depicting animal cruelty in the fur industry.
