Taking a stand for animals has nothing to do with it. I'm for animal rights myself. There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with people to get your point across. These people crossed the line from legitimate protest to terror tactics and stalking in short order. They are your typical leftist, My Way Only, narrow minded hypocrites. They don't give a damn animals either. It's all about controlling what others do.
They were certainly imaginative in the way they got access, you got to give them that! If she spent 1 minute thinking about the use of fur in her clothing line then it was money well spent. And it was in NO WAY stalking. You confront the people with whom you have the issues and they have done a lot of that. Several designers have stopped using fur as they all should IMHO. And lastly, I don't think you can speak as to what they believe for a certainty. Give any opinion you like, just don't make it out to be a fact!!
Nice post!

You are not for 'animal rights'. You are for 'animal welfare'.

Quotes from the Animal Rights mindset:
"My dream is that people will come to view eating an animal as cannibalism." – Henry Spira, director, Animal Rights International, as quoted in Barnaby J. Feder, "Pressuring Purdue," New York Times Magazine, November 26, 1989, p. 192.
“Founded in 1980, PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.” – PeTA’s website, August 2000
“I don’t approve of the use of animals for any purpose that involves touching them – caging them” – Dr. Neal Barnard, Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine
“We don’t want cleaner cages, we want empty cages.” – Tom Regan, animal rights leader
Whereas, Animal welfare requires humane treatment of animals on farms and ranches, in circuses and rodeos, and in homes, kennels, catteries, laboratories, and wherever else animals are kept. Animal welfare endorses a quick death when death is inevitable and a scientific approach to commercial use and management of wild populations.
