PETA Thanks Kate Moss for Fur Free Fashion Line  4/30/07

Animal rights campaigners have praised Kate Moss for making her new fashion line fur-free.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have criticized Moss for wearing animal fur in the past, but have sent her flowers and a certificate of appreciation after she unveiled her range of clothes for British high street chain Topshop.

A statement from the group reads, "Unlike Beyonci and Jennifer Lopez - who have designed fashion ranges which are littered with the corpses of strangled and electrocuted animals - Moss has chosen to work with Topshop, a PETA pal that is outspoken about its strict anti-fur stance. Though Moss's current range is a spring/summer collection, PETA is pleased that it will never contain fur, no matter the season."

PETA Director Poorva Joshipura says, "Opinion polls consistently show that the vast majority of women in the UK would never wear real fur. Kate Moss' new Topshop fur-free range is a killer look without killing animals, and for this, it is only right and fair to extend our thanks".
