I have been an animal rights advocate for as long as I can remember. Spending almost as much time in New York than I do in my own home state of New Jersey, I have seen countless advertisements advising the public on the issue of animal cruelty. PETA is one of those organizations that constantly advertise their take on the issue. I both agree/disagree with some of their findings, but I will say that their campaign against fur is my absolutely favorite. I for one am entirely against using real animal fur as part of a fashion. They need their fur just the same as we need our skin. It makes them who they are the distinguishes them from the rest of the beautiful animals in this world. That is why I LOVE the campaigns of : "Ink Not Mink."
PETA has had a series of tattooed artists (of all kinds) model their beautifully decorated skin as an advertisement almost suggesting that getting tattooed is the way to go as opposed to wearing fur. Do I think this is a legit message to carry out? Absolutely. I have always wanted to participate in a campaign such as this because it establishes a sort of foundation surrounding the various options one can take to beautify ones fashion or make oneself feel beautiful without having to wear that dead rabbit around your neck.
Tattooed or not, I am here to state my opinion and proudly say that I will never wear real animal fur.
Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs.
