This week must be the week to get naked in the name of saying “No” to fur.
Earlier we brought you the news of the NFL’s Willis McGahee’s nude anti-fur ad and now, we present you with Academy Award nominated actress Taraji P. Henson, who’s had roles in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All By Myself.
“I don’t think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period,” Henson said. “End of story.”
“When I realized what went into—not just, we’re not just even talking about a full-length fur coat, I’m talking about just … fur on your gloves or on your jacket or—what goes into making that little piece of fur ripped my heart out. And as humans, we have control. What if someone said, ‘Black skin is the new fur’?”
The behind the scenes video interview with Henson can be viewed below.
