As the citizens of Grand Rapids Michigan gathered downtown to enjoy a warm summer evening of live blues and street vendor hotdogs, they were unexpectedly confronted with barnyard animals declaiming the negative aspects of international “free trade” agreements. Wandering through the crowd of concertgoers were the “NAFTA Bunny” and the “CAFTA Chicken”. This free trade agreement themed chicken and bunny duo passed out “pinkslips” highlighting the connection between job losses in West Michigan and NAFTA, CAFTA, and the FTAA. Almost 500 people were “pinkslipped” by the animal-activists and the animals’ presence was greeted with a combination of surprise, curiosity, and delight.
