Pythons skinned and left to die. The shocking reality behind fashion's new obsession

[Guest guest]

Dear Madam,

Thanks for posting this. The article includes a picture

of model Naomi Campbell, who once featured in an animal rights campaign

saying 'I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur.'(Attached). She has since

modelled wolf fur and has made it public that she loves fur, so no wonder

she likes reptile skin as adornment. Her involvement in abetting the reptile

skin trade possibly vindicates the stance that celebrity status merely for

the sake of being a celebrity, is vacuous.

Thanks.

Best wishes and kind regards,

_ Naomi Campbell: 'PETA Went Too Far'

 

<http://www.starpulse.com/Supermodels/Campbell,_Naomi/>Supermodel* Naomi

Campbell* <http://www.starpulse.com/Supermodels/Campbell,_Naomi/> has spoken

out about her departure from the anti-fur campaign launched by animal rights

activists in the mid-1990s, insisting she quit as spokeswoman because of the

organization's crude tactics.

 

The catwalk star fronted the 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' campaign by

the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), but was reportedly

dropped shortly after the launch for wearing fur in a fashion show.

 

However Campbell now aims to set the record straight on the issue and

remains defiant about her love of fur. She says, " When PETA started

targeting (Vogue editor) Anna Wintour and (designer) Karl Lagerfield and

putting dead animals on their plate, I felt that they went too far and I

thought, I didn't want to be a part of this campaign anymore. (But) I do

like wearing fur and I still do. "
