Elizabeth Hurley's Fur Campaign

Elizabeth Hurley is sure to spark outrage with these new photos of her posing in fur for controversial fur house Blackglama's latest advertising campaign.
The actress posed for a series of pictures in a selection of mink coats and little else.
Many big names have appeared in this campaign before, including Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor and more recently Elle Macpherson, Gisele and Naomi Campbell. The later all angered animal rights organisation PETA and received a huge amount of negative press for their decision to promote the label whose strapline is, "What Becomes A Legend Most".
Gisele however, gave an interview expressing her regret over the campaign. She said: "It was bad decision on my part, because I don't wear fur and I understand their [PETA's] cause."
"I am the biggest animal lover in the world. I have four dogs and two horses, and I have rescued animals all my life."
Liz has been targeted for wearing fur in the past. A few years ago The New York Post reported that when attending a LA party she had a glass of red wine poured over her fur coat by a woman shouting, "You Murdering Bitch!"
Let's hope PETA get through to Liz because fur is definitely one of those things that is better faked, whether you're a legend or not.

She's always been a half-wit, so this latest greedy move is not a surprise. Disgusting.

I wish people would be more troubled by the sweatshops in China than some rodents like mink! Great shots and fabulous furs worn by a stunning model.

Wearing the fur of a dead animal is so extraordinarily greedy and vain. I have no respect for anyone who put their wants above other's needs.

At least she takes responsibility to say it is wrong. Especially in our times. It is pathetic when people who have so much money
feel its special to wear fur denying animals of basic needs.

The quote "It takes 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat..but only one to wear it" seriously comes to mind here.

And Emma, I highly suggest you look up 'skinning animals' on youtube. It might just open your eyes to the suffering and pain inflicted on animals in the name of fashion, as well as hope... Read More
