Martha Stewart Renounces Fur, Hosts PETA Video Exposé

“I used to wear real fur,” says Martha Stewart in her PETA video, “but like many others, I had a change of heart when I learned what actually happens to the animals.” Her brief fur-trade exposé shows how animals are trapped, strangled, and electrocuted for their pelts.

Martha’s public turnaround on fur began when she responded from jail to a letter from PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews explaining that the fur that she famously wore on the day of her sentencing was fake. Martha credits her vegetarian daughter, Alexis, for making her aware of animal issues.

Martha’s online testimony is designed to be e-mailed to family or friends who may still wear fur, as well as to celebrities, stylists, fashion editors, and other Martha Stewart fans. “So much violence in the world seems beyond our control,” says Martha, “but this is one cruelty we can stop by being informed consumers.”
