Just in time for the busy holiday shopping season, actor Maggie Q appears holding a bloodied, skinned “rabbit” in an anti-fur ad for PETA that proclaims, “Here’s the Rest of Your Fur Trim.”
The Divergent star wants everyone to know that confidence and compassion are sexy — wearing corpses isn’t.
“Eyewitness exposés of fur farms in China, the world’s largest exporter of fur, have revealed that animals are confined to barren wire cages — exposed to all weather extremes — and that many go insane from the constant confinement and frantically pace and circle [in] their cages,” Maggie says. “I want people to make the connection that the choice to wear fur is directly contributing to mass suffering.”
PETA — whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to wear” — notes that rabbits, foxes, minks, and other animals on fur farms are bludgeoned, electrocuted, killed, and even skinned alive for their fur.
