From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November 2001:
Letters
Tolstoy Center
We are glad to inform you that the Leo Tolstoy Center for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals held a press conference on October 4
that attracted more than 30 reporters and the Supreme Soviet deputies
of the Ukraine. We discussed stray dogs, animal experimentation,
bullfighting and other forms of animal fighting for entertainment,
factory farming, hunting, fur, circuses, zoos, and legislation
to protect animals’ rights.
On November 2 we hosted an inter-college conference at the
Kharkov teacher training college, attended by more than 300 students
from 12 academic institutions in Kharkov, Moscow, and Kiev.
We brightened the conference with anti-fur and anti-hunting
skits, an anti-fur fashion show, and dancing by famed Ukrainian
gymnast Helen Sljusarchik.
Appreciating your support and understanding,
