Fur
From the Furisdead.com "Get Active" page:
Shop ’til they drop! Whenever you’re ready to hit the shopping mall, make sure you don a fur "public service announcement" before heading out the door. Attach an anti-fur button to your winter coat or, if Aunt Irma’s old moth-eaten mink stole is still hanging around in the attic, dust it off and bring it up to date with a red paint job and an anti-fur message. A similar impact could be made with a red-paint-spattered fake fur or a jazzed-up jean jacket decorated with colorful designs and catchy slogans.
While fur industry practices are horrifying, I absolutely hate it when fur activists even hint at destroying other people's property ("bring it up to date with a red paint job").
Even if people acquired their property illegally (which is not yet true of all fur), I don't believe other citizens have to right to destroy it. In addition, paint dumpers can't always tell the real from the fake.
The Furisdead.com site does, however, offer interesting and constructive activities, e.g., getting people to donate their old fur to keep homeless people warm. That's all fine and great, as long as no one takes to dumping paint on homeless people.
