Supernatural Star Jared Padalecki's Anti-Fur PETA Ad

We all loved him as Dean, the first boy to steal Rory Gilmore's heart on the WB's Gilmore Girls, and now we find ourselves even more smitten with him as Sam on Supernatural, in which he drifts from town to town fighting demons, ghosts, and all sorts of evil fiends wherever he goes. And just when we thought that we couldn't possibly adore Jared Padalecki more, we found out that he has a huge heart for animals too! Check out Jared's new ad, the latest in PETA's "If You Wouldn't Wear Your Dog" anti-fur campaign.

Jared Padalecki's Anti-Fur PETA Ad Jared wants you to know what happens to dogs—like his canine pals Harley and Sadie—cats, and other animals before they're made into collars, cuffs, jackets, and other fur items sold in stores. Jared teamed up with PETA in an effort to remind all of us that the only difference between your "best friend" and animals killed for their fur is how they are treated. "Why is it deemed acceptable to kill some animals for their fur and to sit at home cuddling others?" said Jared. "After spending time with my dogs, I can't imagine how anyone could wear these sweet, sensitive animals."

Animals who become victims of the fashion industry lead miserable lives. There are no federal laws in the United States—and no laws at all in China—governing fur farms, so the animals on them are forced to live amid their own waste while confined to tiny, cramped cages, where they are exposed to all weather extremes. They often go without adequate shelter, clean water, and veterinary care and are denied the opportunity to engage in natural behaviors like climbing, burrowing, and swimming. The intensive confinement causes many of them to go insane. Fur farmers use the cheapest and cruelest killing methods available, including suffocation, electrocution, gassing, and poisoning—and many animals are even skinned alive on fur farms in China.
