Naomi Campbell would rather wear fur again than go naked
editor
While Naomi Campbell once
posed in a PETA campaign declaring she'd "rather go naked
than wear fur," it seems the supermodel has gone back on her
word. Campbell is now hawking fur for Dennis Basso's fall
collection. She claims she's not a hypocrite--that she actually
quit PETA years ago--but is being called a hypocrite really worse
than someone who admits to liking and wearing fur?
“When PETA started targeting Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld and
putting dead animals on their plate, I felt that they went too far
and I thought, I didn’t want to be a part of this campaign
anymore," Campbell
said back in 2007. "I do
like wearing fur and I still do.” When the folks over at PETA
discovered her wearing fur on the runway again back in 2004 they
decided they had no use for her anymore. “She may have a temper,
but she doesn’t have to take it out on animals," they said.
"What good is a pretty face if you’ve got no heart?”
While we have to agree that oftentimes PETA is over-the-top with
its ads and demonstrations, we think it's an important cause,
and are glad it raises public awareness about animal treatment and
discourage the wearing of fur.
What do you think about Campbell's decision to ditch PETA and
put the fur back on? [
