Coleen McLoughlin urged to go fur free
HUNDREDS of people queued to meet Coleen McLoughlin as she launched her
autobiography
in Liverpool. Wayne Rooney’s fiancee was at Waterstone’s book shop
in Bold Street on
Saturday with her book Welcome To My World, which discusses her
relationship with the
Manchester United striker.
The book signing event also saw animal rights activists holding a demonstration. Dozens of
protesters carrying banners with pictures of skinned animals waited for Coleen, urging her to
go
fur free. Police on horseback were used to keep the activists away from the entrance but
nobody
was arrested.
The members of Merseyside Animal Rights and Fur Free Liverpool targeted Coleen, 20, after
she was photographed shopping in “fur retailer” Cricket in Cavern Walks. Croxteth-born
Coleen, who will celebrate her 21st birthday at a £150,000 party in Thornton Hall, Wirral, this
month, has also worn outfits trimmed with fur.
Campaigner Katie Brown, who took part in the protest, said: “You only have to look at how
many people came to see Coleen to realise what an influence she has and I hope she uses
her
profile to encourage compassion and not cruelty."
