Pink was the latest pop star to join PETA's anti-fur campaign this week when she sent a hand written fax to the editor of Vogue magazine asking her to stop putting fur fashions in her magazine. In the fax to Anna Wintour Pink urges the Vogue editor to "modernize your magazine and stop promoting fur." She goes on to suggest that if that isn't possible the magazine could at least give PETA free ad space to run anti-fur campaigns.
Pink continues: "many designers, unaware of my respect for animals, have sent me fur in every shade of pink. I would like to say I've always been fur-free. Unfortunately, I went through a selfish phase and wore fur on a couple of occasions. I've since learned how animals are trapped, drowned and even beaten to death in the woods and in streams, and hideously electrocuted and strangled on fur farms, and I wouldn't be seen dead in the stuff. If your readers knew the horrors that these animals go through to supply a hairy swath of skin, coated with chemicals to stop it from decomposing, they would gag. Won't you use your unique position to help fashion evolve rather than rot?"
