Ungar Furs and Portland Police serve activists with restraining orders! 

"Two activists have been (il)legally restrained from continuing to attend the demonstrations outside of Ungar Fur's ( SW 12th and Yamhill ). The restraining order says nothing about the activists protesting a fur shop of any kind. The owner Horst Grimm ( 74 yrs old ) got the restraining order under the 'RESTRAINING ORDER TO PREVENT ABUSE ( Elderly Persons and Persons With Disabilities Abuse Protection Act ).

This is a cheap and low blow to the first amendment rights of the activists free speech. The fur shop and portland police bureau are desperately trying to stifle the dedication and consistency of this campaign against portlands last fur shop. a number of lawyers gladly took this case for free and we are happy to accounce that the appeals to the restraining order are getting filed today. this means that the fur shop is going to have to fight harder to stop the activists from telling the people of portland about the horrors of the fur industry. but this also means that the campaign is in MAJOR need of some help due to these two activists taking a mandatory breather from the demonstrations.

PLEASE show up anyday you can. the demonstrations are going on every single day the fur shop is open. monday through friday 1 pm to 5pm. bring food, bring friends. any literature always helps. signs and some literature will be provided at the shop. UNGAR FURS SW 12th and Yamhill. WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN. UNTIL THEY STOP THE KILLING."
