I know I'd rather Go Naked than Wear Fur

The "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaigns have had a big impact on the fur industry. Many celebrities, including Christy Turlington and Pamela Anderson, have stripped down to pose for these campaigns. PETA is behind this genius message.

Why would so many celebrities be willing to stand naked in front of a camera? I bet you didn't know that every piece of fur clothing, lining, and trim was the cause of extreme suffering by innocent animals. These animals are beaten, hanged , electrocuted, and even skinned alive for their fur.

"
Fur factory farms crowd animals into wire cages so small that they don't have room to walk. These cramped quarters cause great emotional distress to the animals, and they often turn to self-mutilation or cannibalism to cope with their anxiety." (PETA website).

Did you know that there are
no federal humane laws regulating factory fur farms? As a result, farmers use barbaric methods for killing animals to avoid damaging their pelts. That means electrocuting, poisoning, or gassing is common.

These celebrities would rather bare their skin if it means an innocent creature can keep theirs. After reading this, I hope you feel the same way!
