The "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign started in the early 90's but hasn't been the only headline grabbing campaign they have carried out. PETA believes that animals have the same rights as humans. I stand behind this 100%, I feel the ill treatment of animals to create "fur fashion" is completely immoral and inhumane. There is no doubt that PETA activists know how to be heard. Some other tactics of theirs include placing naked caged woman in city centers, they have stormed the offices of French Vogue wearing leg traps around their feet and have thrown buckets of money soaked in fake blood on audiences at the International Fur Fair.
Yes this may been seen as over the top behavior by many people. But I say good on them for being controversial and making a stand. Its obviously working with the amount of publicity and support they receive. These PETA activists and supporters are taking steps in the right direction to stop animal abuse. Should animals really go through all of the pain and abuse they do just so you have a genuine fur jacket to wear this winter? I think not!
