Summary:
Anti-fur campaigners were protesting as singer Katherine Jenkins opened the Harrods winter sale. The protesters thought it was ridiculous that Katherine opened this sale because the singer always said she was against animal cruelty and the fur trade and Harrods is the major store in the UK who sells fur. The campaigners didn’t understand why ms Jenkins didn’t refuse Harrods’s request to open the sale while singer Leona Lewis did.
H Katherine Jenkins’s reaction to this protest was that she still doesn’t eat meat and won’t ever wear fur but that she accept people’s decisions to wear fur and that’s why she opened the winter sale at Harrods.
Opinion:
I wouldn’t make a big issue about this case but I can understand the reaction of the anti-fur campaigners. A person who always said that she is against animal cruelty and the fur trade has to remain by her standpoint. So I don’t think it’s logical that she opened the winter sale of a store who is well known of its fur while she is against fur. In her reaction she told the people that she accepts people’s decisions to wear fur and that’s why I don’t think she is really against it because otherwise she wouldn’t accept it. Maybe the campaigners feel a bit betrayed by Katherine after this happening.

I agree with you. In the first place i dont understand why Harrods asked Katherine to open the winter-sale, because they should know her standpoint about fur. On the other hand i dont understand Katherine, because her opinion cant be taken serious any more. This is a typical standpoint, which cant be changed. When someone is agains fur, there cant be a way they change their opinion about the topic. You are against it or not, nothing in between.
I also agree with you. Maybe it is a little bit weird of Katherine, but on the other hand I can also understand her point of view. It ís your own desicion to wear fur or not, and sometimes I think that people who are openly against fur are taking it to far.
