Win PETA's Anti-Fur Coat!
What Would You Do With a Coat Like This? Tell Us and It Could
Be Yours!
Killing babies so that you can rip off their skin and throw it on
your back is gross, no matter what the victim's species. To illustrate
that point, PETA has constructed a coat made from human "babies"
(actually toy baby dolls), which debuted in New York this fall in
a "Whose Skin Are YOU in?" demonstration where a "raccoon"
dressed in the human baby coat turned the tables on fur-wearing passersby.
Whose Skin are YOU in? It's time to put the "baby coat"
back to work for animals, and we need your help to do it! If you can
come up with the most creative and effective way to use our "coat
of many babies" in a demonstration, "fashion show,"
or other anti-fur action, the coat is yours to keep once the winter
is over!.
Fur: Cruelty Disguised as Fashion
Fur farmers' only concern is profit, so to line their pockets, they
cram animals into tiny cages, which prevents them from taking more
than a few steps back and forth. PETA's investigation, conducted at
a fur farm in the United States, found foxes suffering from broken
and exposed bones, upper respiratory infections, and cancerous tumors
left to fester without veterinary treatment. After months of confinement
to crowded, filthy cages, extreme temperatures, and unbearable boredom,
animals are suffocated or gassed, have their necks broken, or are
anally or vaginally electrocuted. A recent PETA investigation at a
chinchilla farm documented animals electrocuted without prior stunning,
causing them to suffer the excruciating pain of a full-blown heart
attack.
Animals trapped in the wild may suffer for days in cruel steel-jaw
traps before the trapper arrives to beat or stomp them to death. Some,
especially mothers desperate to return to their hungry babies, chew
through their own limbs in an attempt to escape, only to die later
of blood loss, infection, or predation. These traps are so cruel that
they have been banned in more than 88 countries—but not in America.
Submit your ideas!
Put your creativity to work! How can our "baby coat" bring
much-needed attention to the cruelty of fur? To enter, complete the
details below by the contest deadline of January 28, 2005.
