Jump To Comment: 1 2This just goes to show what a sustained, long term campaign can do. Not just a flash in the pan - one off thing. They never achieve much. Most people are opposed to fur and this just proves it. I hope BTs profits drop another 11% next year.
I am a student, living on very modest means. I used to shop in BT for cosmetics and such and paid for it with money earned from a part-time retail job.
Due to the global campaigns on the fur issue, and to Irish groups highlighting places like BT who sell fur, I have not only stopped going to BT but would never buy anything from any shop selling fur or fur trim.
I have also told friends and family about BT and other shops and they have stopped going there. I am far from rich and were I based in Dublin I would definately be protesting along with CAFT every week! So no, just because you go to BT doesn't mean you are a version of Pink's "Stupid Girl"!
So, CAFT, keep up the good work because it DOES make a difference. Us not so stupid girls need people like you to highlight what goes on behind our backs so we can stop unwittingly supporting it. (We don't need any pictures either, we know how to read.)
To Sabwatch and other dissuaders, please stop making ridiculous assumptions about people you obviously know nothing about.
