If You Wouldn’t Wear Your Dog, Please Don’t Wear Fur

Fashion can be cruel for millions of animals worldwide who are routinely beaten, tortured and electrocuted for their skin.

Mark Ronson is the globe-trotting D.J. who took home the 2008 Brit Award for Best Male Artist and a music industry entrepreneur who is connected with some of the biggest names in the business. But most importantly, he is a loving guardian of adorable Maude, who is pictured here with him in his first PETA ad. They appear next to the tagline “If You Wouldn’t Wear Your Dog, Please Don’t Wear Any Fur.”

Why is this issue important to Mark? He knows that on fur farms, animals are kept in crowded, filthy wire cages, where they often develop neurotic behaviors and become sick or wounded. Fur farmers often kill animals using the crudest and cheapest methods available to avoid damaging the “pelt,” including breaking their necks while they are fully conscious and using anal or genital electrocution.

Undercover investigations have exposed these horrifying practices worldwide. In China, where there are no laws protecting animals on fur farms, dogs and cats are killed for their fur too. The fur is often mislabeled and sold as the skin of another animal, so it’s impossible to know where, or whom, fur products come from.

Remember that the skins of beautiful animals are only worn by ugly people. Mark Ronson wants you to help spread the word that animals should never be fashion victims. Share this ad and encourage all your friends to take the Pledge to Be Fur-Free.

    “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives”
