I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear FUR

What do Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and J.Crew have in common?

They all refuse to use or sell fur. Many top designers and retailers have stopped using and selling fur for good as a result of constant pressure from PETA and our members.

Every day, PETA members fight hard for the animals who are maimed and killed for their fur. Together, we have made real changes in the fashion world and have spared millions of animals from torturous lives and grisly deaths. But there's so much more to do—and so many more animals need our help right now.

In the fur industry, dogs, cats, raccoons, rabbits, and many other animals are commonly skinned alive, crushed to death, and painfully electrocuted.

As I'm sure you know, PETA will do anything—including take our clothes off—to get media coverage and the public's attention in an effort to stop this cruelty. For more than 25 years, celebrities, PETA members, and other concerned animal advocates have joined us in the fight against fur. Many have even shed their clothes to announce to the world that they'd rather go naked than wear fur.

Activists of all ages and stars such as animal rights superhero Pamela Anderson, as well as many other celebrities, have taken a stand for animals by posing in PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ads. Recently supermodel Janice Dickinson and 30 other models made news when they hit the streets of Hollywood stripped down to their undies and holding signs with the message that wearing fur is heartless and cruel. You can see the photos here.

PETA's groundbreaking and head-turning anti-fur ads are seen on taxi tops, buses, and billboards all around the world thanks to your support.

We have helped millions of people realize that there is nothing fashionable about fur. And we have helped win some critical victories for animals, including the following:

• Major retailers like J.Crew, Ann Taylor, J. Jill, Forever 21, Wet Seal, and many others no longer use or sell fur.
  
• More than 10,000 compassionate people around the world have surrendered their fur coats to PETA. We use the coats as bedding for rescued animals and in library and school displays. We also donate them for use as clothing for the homeless and refugees in war-torn Afghanistan.
  
• More than 100,000 people have signed our pledge this year to go fur-free. If you haven't already signed the pledge, please do so today.

I hope that I can count on your continued support as we enter the fall and winter fashion seasons. I want every designer and retail store to know that PETA will not stop campaigning until the day that animals are no longer slaughtered in the name of fashion. Please make as generous a donation as you can today.
