Kim Basinger: Beauty Is Not About Wearing Animals’ Coats
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 23rd, 2009 in Actresses, Fur.
Kim Basinger, veteran actress and animal advocate, was one of the first celebrities to star in a “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad.
“Beauty is not about wearing someone else’s coat,” the ad read.
Kim recently sent a letter to Chinese designer Luo Zheng, urging Luo to see the horror of using fur in fashion.
“As you may know, this is an issue that is very dear to my heart,” writes Kim. “I have avoided wearing real fur for many years ….”
“PETA’s heartrending investigations have documented that animals, including dogs and cats, are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, strangled with wire nooses, and skinned alive. Workers have been caught beating raccoons, dogs and foxes with metal rods and leaving them to convulse on the ground. Some animals are injured but still completely conscious as they are skinned, and they kick and writhe as their skin is ripped from their bodies.”
Basinger has the right idea about beauty.
Most men would definitely rather see a naked woman than one covered in a fur coat.
Take a cue from Kim and keep your closet fur-free.
