Why?

The Independent’s social media editor Felicity Morse made it her mission to find out exactly why the man was on a lead. Today (the 15th), she wrote this.

Eden, who’s been a stage actress for 20 years, said the reactions of passersby were filmed, which will soon be cut into three minutes of the best responses. Eden responded to all intrigued passers-by ‘within character’, saying she believes ‘that a lot of people raised important issues in their response; such as equality of gender, human rights, animal rights, where PR stops and personal life begins.’
