Protesters dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse arrested at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank

This article comes to us from LA Times:

Protesters dressed as Mickey and Minnie Mouse were arrested Wednesday morning after they chained themselves to the gates of the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank.

The two costumed activists were protesting what they said was the company’s use of paper that contains fiber from endangered Indonesian rain forests in its children’s books.


The protesters arrived about 7 a.m. and chained themselves to the gate while two others unfurled a banner over the company’s entrance gate.

“Today’s protest is a loud and colorful message to the executives at Disney that it’s totally unacceptable for them to continue to drag their feet when Indonesian rain forests are falling at one of the highest rates in the world,” said Laurel Sutherlin, a spokesman for Rainforest Action Network, which organized the protest.
