Vegetarian Star

Maurice Jones-Drew of the Jacksonville Jaguars is the latest celebrity to strip down in a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals ad against fur.

In his “Ink Not Mink” ad, the tattooed NFL running back stands proudly holding a football and showing off his impressive physique.

“It was important for me to get involved with the Ink Not Mink campaign,” Jones-Drew says in an interview and behind the scenes shoot for the PSA. “I have three dogs and to see some of the videos or to go online and see how animals are treated for fur –the cruelty is worse than torture.”

Australian model Ruby Rose chose to wear her own skin for a recent Maxim Australia photo shoot and she believes animals should have that choice too.

“Not a lot of people know about fur,” Rose said in an interview with the magazine. “I was mortified thinking this happens just to make a f–king jacket. I can’t get past the idea of having an animal that’s been skinned alive on top of me and somehow thinking that’s cool from a fashion standpoint.”

“When I realized what went into the fur on your gloves or on your jacket, what goes into killing those animals, it ripped my heart out. You don’t have to kill an animal because you want to be hot and fly. It’s not the 16th century anymore.  We’ve got central heating for God’s sake. And you can get a fake fur coat. I have one. It’s fabulous.”

—Taraji P. Henson, at a party held at Stella McCartney‘s 14th Street Boutique in New York recently. Other guests in attending the bash thrown by PETA include Tim Gunn and Olivia Munn.

Henson looks stunning in any photo, but if you’re interested in seeing, ahem, more of her, view her NSFW anti-fur ad below.

Charlotte Ross PETA Urban Outfitters Shirt

It’s too bad most schools have a ban against clothing with nudity on it, cause these t-shirts would be the biggest fad since leg warmers or 80s puffy bangs.

The closest some boys will have Charlotte Ross, an actress who’s had roles in Glee, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and NYPD Blue, naked and on their bodies is by wearing this shirt available at Urban Outfitters.

Kate Ford PETA

Kate Ford, star of Coronation Street, has posed nude in a PETA campaign to convince officials to use fake fur instead of real bear fur in the hats worn by the Queen’s guards.

“I would ask the Ministry of Defence to reconsider their choice to use real bear fur for the Guards’ caps,” Ford told PETA UK in an interview. “The use of the real fur is uncalled for, as the fake fur is luxurious and looks the same. For this reason, there is no need for bears to go through unimaginable suffering. I ask them to reconsider and choose the compassionate option.

Ford was named “Best Bitch” in British soap opera awards in 2004 and 2005 for her character’s disposition, but luckily for the bears and everyone else, she’s quite empathetic in real life, sharing her home with two elderly cats.

Chelsea Handler is giving Real Housewives of New York City star Kelly Bensimon a piece of her mind many other animal lovers share.

Handler discussed Bensimon’s recent rave about fur, where Bensimon said something to the effect that although she loves animals and never advocates hurting them, she doesn’t see a problem with wearing fur.

She also obviously doesn’t see the contradiction in her statements, but Handler on E! attempted to clear things up for her.

“Really? You don’t abuse animals? I think the chinchilla who just had his hide ripped off might disagree. You think you’re a great fur wearer? You know who wears it better? The innocent animal it came from. This is not a smart move. You just taunted PETA on national television while wearing an unattractive fur vest.”

Candace Parker PETA Anti Fur Ad

WNBA player Candace Parker put the basketball down for a moment to let everyone know wearing animals for fur should never be part of the game.

The MVP and Rookie of the year brought along her rescue dog Fendi, who steals just as much of the camera as Candace does.

“I feel very passionate about the fur campaign for PETA,” Candace says in the video below. “I feel like it’s very cruel-what they do to animals. I love my dog and couldn’t imagine anybody harming her.”

Check out Candace’s exclusive interview for PETA!
