Don't Worry, Angelina Jolie is Still Fur-Free
Submitted by PETA on Apr 9, 2009
Yes, Angelina Jolie was spotted wearing what appeared to be a
chinchilla-trimmed hat and cape on the set of her latest movie,
spurring one of the best blog headlines that we've seen all week.
But our L.A. staffers were on it faster than Liza Minelli can open a
bottle of Scotch, and they've received word from the film's publicist
that (phew!) the chinchilla is actually synchilla. We knew sweet Angelina to be an animal lover who never wears fur.
Don't worry, Ange, we knew a big-hearted U.N. Goodwill Ambassador
like yourself would never wear the skins of achingly adorable little
animals who go "coo, coo" when they're excited and like to hold things
in their cute little pinkish-gray hands. We just knew it.

When I read this I wonder why we never see articles on celebrities caught eating veal steaks or wearing leather coats. I mean, if we go around killing cattle for leather and steaks and see nothing morally wrong in that, why it is immoral to wear fur. I eat meat, and wear leather and silk… and yes, I also like wearing fur. Real fur is a sustainable source and therefore much better for environment than faux fur which is made from petroleum . It is also beautiful, soft and it is one of the warmest fabrics in the world. The fur I wear has the Origin Assured label ( www.originassured.com ) that assures me that the fur comes from a country with strict regulations governing fur production. Nika Pika
