Lauren Pope, TV star, entrepreneur and DJ collaborated with PETA to make a special delivery to The Hopefield Animal Sanctuary. Together, they took a bundle of fur coats given to PETA by people who decided that they no longer wanted to wear fur. The sanctuary will use the unwanted garments as bedding for the animals in its care, some of whom are sick and injured.

"We can't bring back the animals who died for the coats, or change the fact that they were killed in horrible ways, but we can bring a little warmth to animals in need", says Pope. "I want to encourage people to take advantage of PETA's fur donation programme. Your kindness will go a long way!"

PETA - whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to wear" - also gives donated fur coats to those in desperate need of warm clothing in homeless shelters and refugee camps.

PETA's recent fur expose found that animals on fur farms are housed in dirty, tiny cages before they are killed by being drowned, beaten, strangled, electrocuted or skinned alive to fur coats, collars and cuffs.

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED. 

The world's largest exporter of fur is China. The rabbits on fur farms there are hung upside down, while screaming and kicking for their freedom. They are made to watch their friends and family die before they have their own throats cut.
