Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 Tell Halle Berry Fur Makes her Look Cruel, Not Glamorous Letter prepared by D. Artemis SAMPLE LETTER: PLEASE PERSONALIZE!!!!!! If you are a fan, please say which of her movies you enjoyed most and how wearing fur will affect your decision whether to pay to see any more of her films. For additional information about the cruel fur industry, review the factsheets at: <A HREF= " http://www.peta-online.org/mc/facts.html " >http://www.peta-online.org/mc/fa\ cts.html</A> ============================================================================== ======================================================= Ms. Halle Berry C/o Karen Samfilippo Image Management PR 8271 Melrose Ave., #208 Los Angeles, CA 90046 RE: Wearing Fur is Cruel, not Glamorous – Please Break the Cycle of Exploitation Dear Ms. Berry; Once it was thought that African Americans and women didn't have souls, intelligence or longing for their family and social structures – now we know that was a cruel lie. It wasn't so long ago that minorities were hunted for " sport " and strung up by noose until they died. I ask you to break the cycle of exploitation and cruelty that is set in motion when people of a dominant class use less protected beings as commodities for slave labor or, desiring their skin and fur, kill and dismember their bodies to create grotesque and unnatural pieces of clothing. Please don't use another being in this way: please don't wear fur or fur trim. Many fur-bearing animals are always trapped in the wild. Fur trappers use steel-jawed traps that crush the animals' paws, legs, spine, or torsos. Animals will chew off a paw or a leg to free themselves and then wander off to bleed to death or die of infection. Often fatally wounded mothers are found returning to their young, dying as they try to suckle them. Other animals spend their entire lives confined to tiny, filthy cages, constantly pacing back and forth from stress and boredom. They suffer from festering, open wounds and disease and do not receive veterinary care as it is not " cost effective. " Killing these animals has to be done cheaply as well. Gassing with carbon monoxide, injecting pesticide into the heart, clubbing, drowning -- are all cheap and unreliable. Many animals are merely paralyzed and experience all the pain and horror of being skinned alive. A preferred method is anal electrocution: it's cheap and tidy. A metal noose is strapped around the terrified animal's neck and she's yanked from her cage. An electric prod is shoved into the animal's rectum or vagina and a metal conductor is shoved down his throat. Electricity surges through the animal's body causing him to convulse for several minutes while he experiences a massive heart attack and slowly cooks from the inside: Just before death, the animal will emit a crackling sound and her teeth will break and fall out. The force of the shock will cause the anal probe to fall out. This is the kind of torture and slaughter that you encourage among your fans and peers by using your position as a role model to wear fur. There are plenty of cruelty-free fakes out there if you must wear fur-like garmets. Please don't turn a blind eye to the slavery and oppression of other living, emotional beings. They may not have a " human " face, but they are intelligent beings with complex social and emotional needs, and a psychology of their own. Again, please don't use another being in this way: please don't wear fur or fur trim. Sincerely, ---------------------- Reasons I have chosen veganism as a way of life for myself and my family: <A HREF= " www.dumpdairy.com " >www.dumpdairy.com</A> <A HREF= " www.milksucks.com " >www.milksucks.com</A> <A HREF= " www.goveg.com " >www.goveg.com</A> <A HREF= " http://www.helpinganimals.com/ " >http://www.helpinganimals.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.stopanimaltests.com/ " >http://www.stopanimaltests.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.furisdead.com/ " >http://www.furisdead.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://action.fund.org/action/index.asp " >http://action.fund.org/action/ind\ ex.asp</A> <A HREF= " http://www.animalsvoice.com/ " >http://www.animalsvoice.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.commandochicks.com/ " >http://www.commandochicks.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.notmilk.com/ " >http://www.notmilk.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.pcrm.org/ " >http://www.pcrm.org/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.vegsource.com/ " >http://www.vegsource.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.veganoutreach.com/ " >http://www.veganoutreach.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www3.mistral.co.uk/traub/faqvegan.html " >http://www3.mistral.co.uk/t\ raub/faqvegan.html</A> <A HREF= " http://www.vegan.com/ " >http://www.vegan.com/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.vegan.org/ " >http://www.vegan.org/</A> <A HREF= " http://www.coolvegan.com/ " >http://www.coolvegan.com/</A> Meet Your Meat: <A HREF= " http://www.goveg.com/mym-hi.rm " >http://www.goveg.com/mym-hi.rm</A> Subscribe to my Vegan_Animal_Rights today: Vegan_Animal_Rights/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
