Who did what ?

Although the point of the post ( Selfridges no longer selling fur) was excellent news there is another angle to this story

 http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/05/311522.html

This post gives the impression that the Coallition Against The Fur Trade and its actions were the reason Selfridges made this decision. While we welcome the (minor) contribution they have made over the past year it is worth recording that the long term work has been done by us at Respect For Animals. We have had a concentrated campaign of demonstrations, letter writing, phone calls and leaflet hand-outs for nearly seven years.

Although we are all working toward the same aim a number of our people are a bit pissed off to see another group try and claim credit for our hard work.

Another fraud?

This post should be hidden until Respect for Animals confirms that it endorses the views expressed.

Reader

Fraud ?

Looks like a spat between two groups who both campaigned for the same thing but one of them is trying to say they were the only ones. Not the first time it has happended, wont be the last.

You've lost me

It's blatent disinformation

You will note that the CAFT post does not make any claim on the credit for the campaign.

You will also note a very small time frame between the two posts.

I think it stinks.

'Alison' does not speak for Respect and it looks like an attempt to sow disharmony.
