Apple to the Core

While some celebrities are sun tanning in Malibu or peddling bottled water in their spare time, there are some very special ones who choose to do something more meaningful.  They could be doing absolutely anything they want but what they want is to spend their time helping animals.  Please make a special effort to support these good-hearted celebrities in their professional ventures - it WILL help animals in the end.

Here are just a few of the celebrities who have given generously and/or worked tirelessly to promote the compassionate and humane treatment of all animals. Their support has helped to increase awareness, educate countless individuals and raise millions of dollars for non-profit animal welfare organizations worldwide.

Note:  I've actually received several emails complaining that celebrities are only becoming activists for publicity and we shouldn't give them any recognition for it.  Okay, I'll admit there may be some who do, but you know what?  WHO CARES - AS LONG AS THEY DO IT - WHO CARES? 

 

If they protest animal cruelty because they get off seeing their names in the papers, why should we care? The end result is the same - it may raise awareness or badly needed funds for programs.  If seeing Pamela Anderson protesting the horrible treatment of chickens by KFC farms will educate some teenager in heat, then I hope they print her name in every paper in the USA.  I hope it gets her a hundred paying jobs. At least it's publicity for something more important than moronic celebrities driving drunk, doing drugs, getting divorced, who they're dating or shaving off their hair in public.  

 

That being said, I do want to state, emphatically, that I believe Pamela Anderson to be VERY serious about her work with animals and  I am merely using her name as an example. I remember one over-exposed celebrity who publicly stated that "Charity was not her thing" - I would much rather write about Pamela Anderson or any one of the celebrities mentioned above.


Now let's go over to the dark side for a moment......

The Ghoulish Celebrities Who Wear Fur

Here are some of the names of celebrities who choose to wear the skins of tortured animals as body decor. If at all possible, please try to boycott any of their projects - let's not help them finance their bloody taste in clothing.

Star Jones Mandy Moore Axel Rose
Will Smith Lenny Kravitz Elle McPherson
Pete Burns Emma Bunton Timbaland
Kid Rock Patti LaBelle Kate Bosworth
Sofia Coppola Heidi Klum Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer Hudson Celine Dion Ziyi Zhang
Dita Von Tease Naomi Campbell Jennifer Lopez
Adriana Lima Maria Sharapova Serena Williams
Madonna Maggie Gyllenhaal Kanye West
Mary-Kate Olsen Ashley Olsen Elizabeth Hurley
Mary J. Blige Ashton Kutcher Demi Moore
Kate Moss Lindsay Lohan Jessica Simpson
Kate Hudson Eve Beyonce
Eva Longoria Sharon Stone Nicole Richie
Britney Spears Kimberly Stewart Tara Reid
Victoria Gotti Susan Sarandon Cate Blanchett
Jamie Foxx Goldie Hawn Rihanna
Aretha Franklin Kelly Rowland Viveca Fox
Katie Price Jerry Hall Sarah Michelle Gellar

Now here's a picture of, the always lovely, Angelina Jolie in costume for a scene from her movie, "Salt". While she is wearing what looks to be fur, it is actually synthetic but very realistic looking. So it is possible for any one of these celebrities to buy fake fur that looks real if they feel they MUST be seen in fur.  They do have a choice...they don't HAVE to wear tortured animals.

Comments from Readers on Celebrity Fur Hags

Here are a few comments from our readers on the celebrity fur issue:
  • Jamie, Oregon: "I am quite shocked you listed Kate Hudson as a fur wearer. She seems to be such a  free-spirit and happy-go-lucky hippie chick, I would have thought it would make her sick to wear fur. No more of her rom-coms for me!"

  • B.W. San Diego, CA - "You listed three celebrities associated with Kabbalah. Madonna, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher.  Makes me wonder if there's a connection."

  • BBPow - "Sharon Stone is well known for her charity work. It is too bad it does not extend to animals."

  • Saracita B., NYNY - "I never liked that phony Beyonce and wasn't the least bit surprised to see her name on your list." 

  • GBW - "Here's one more reason to hate Ashton Kutcher.  Isn't his 15 minutes up yet?"

  • Juanita J., Albuquerque - "I used to wear fur until I saw a terrible video online of how they kill the animals. I wish I could send them a copy."

This particular article seemed to touch a lot of readers. Thanks to everyone who took the time to write.


Professional Dancer Karina Smirnoff

With much admiration, we give our thanks to this lovely lady for publicly opposing fur.

The 31-year-old put her fur-wearing days behind her after watching baby seals being clubbed to death. “I did wear fur, especially when I was little,” she said in an interview with the animal rights org. “But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.”

“You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t,” she added. “And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.
