Good outcome for the animals? OK, does that mean fewer animals will be murdered? If not, it's not a victory and I cannot understand the celebrations.
These single-issue campaigns are something I have big problems with. First off, the protesters at this show have an issue with one thing: Fur. They ignore wool, silk, leather, down. Exactly what type of message is this sending to people? Fur is shocking and terrible, but wool, silk, leather and down are not an issue? I think the animals disagree.
Simply put: if you believe that animal exploitation is wrong, fur is just as bad as wool, silk, leather and down - period. Please remember this before you hit me with something like, 'They simply wanted to highlight this issue to the public, I don't see anything wrong with that'.
I've seen first hand how these single-issue campaigns only serve to confuse people. You also must remember you are trying to persuade a public which not only believes that is acceptable to slaughter animals for hamburgers and nuggets, but it can also be done ethically... so why would they care about a single-issue fur campaign when they are headed to the steakhouse?
I really think people need to start looking at what message is being sent to the public at these single-issue protests.
