Mills-McCartney Calls on Clooney, Pitt and Bloom for Fur War Video
10/9/05
Paul McCartney's activist wife is calling on George Clooney, Brad Pitt
and Orlando Bloom to help her stamp out fur wearing in Hollywood in a new
public service announcement.
Heather Mill-McCartney is shocked by the amount of stars who ignore the
horrors behind fur coats and scarves because they fear they don't look
glamorous without dead animals on their backs.
And, in an effort to send out a powerful message, the Brit wants to
record a commercial with the world's leading men.
She says, "I want them to say to camera, `Only ugly, stupid women
wear fur.
Be happy in your own skin.'
"These women (who wear fur) are not educated, they're thick and
they've got no class... These people just want to totally separate it from
their heads."
Mills-McCartney insists this is the only way to get the message across
because stars like Jennifer Lopez, who includes fur designs in her
Sweetface fashion range, constantly ignore letters sent by animal welfare
groups urging her to boycott animal pelts.
The former model even visited Lopez's New York offices last month
(SEP05) with People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals activists in a
bid to confront the diva.
She says, "We've sent letters to her for three years: `Please
would you watch this video? Please would you watch these animals being
skinned alive that are used for your fur line... You're encouraging other
people to think fur is fashionable and that means more animals are being
skinned alive every day.
"After three years of all the animal rights organizations writing
to her, what else can you do except go and hand deliver something to her
office."
