U.S Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard is using her celebrity and hot bod “fur” a good cause. She bared it all to raise awareness for PETA’s anti-fur campaign.
With Beijing hosting the 2008 Olympic Summer Games, Amanda’s ad couldn’t have come at a better time. An investigation into the fur industry in China—which is where most fur originates—revealed that minks, foxes, dogs, cats, and other animals are kept in tiny wire cages in all weather extremes. In the video footage, animals were strangled or bludgeoned, and they were often still alive and struggling when workers flipped them onto their backs or hung them by their legs or tails to skin them.
“I have seen a lot of the videos, and [it] brings me to tears,” Amanda says. “What [some people] think is pretty is actually something that’s very gruesome and gross”, says Amanda.
Help Amanda and PETA by visiting furisdead.com to sign their petition to stop designers, retailers and other industries that directly profit from the suffering caused by the fur industry.
