British model/actress Elizabeth Hurley’s promotion of American fur house – Blackglama has been severely censured by animal rights campaigners.
Hurley has long been targeted by animal lovers for her penchant for fashionable furs, but her new advertisements for Blackglama have caused an uproar prompting a spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to publicly castigate and criticise the English beauty. Several Hollywood stars have long abhorred the use of furs and animal products. Hurley’s fashion fiesta on animals is sure to bring fire to her stardom. There are stars who have even taken up the PETA cause in their hands and spread awareness themselves but Hurley is surely turning out to be one adamant lady going against the tide.
Representative for PETA Europe, Robbie LeBlanc, says, “It’s shocking that she’s taking money to wear baby minks, who are skinned at six months old for Liz’s luxuries.
“Her wardrobe is now as dead as her film career. Millions of animals are electrocuted and skinned alive, suffering terribly for the production of fur. With so many fantastic faux furs available there is no excuse for the wearing of real fur.”
Blackglama’s What becomes a legend most? campaign, features a topless Hurley, with her modesty preserved only by the luxury furs.
