Fur-Free Friday!

Last Friday was a Fur-Free Friday. The goal was to try and stop people from buying fur. PETA members from all over the world were encouraging shoppers to cross fur off their Christmas lists. In Aspen, Colorado, two "snow bunnies" snowboarded on 6 inches of fresh snow wearing only a bikini to encourage people to not kill for fur. Also more "bunnies" in all parts of the world, including Moscow, Helsinki, and Reykjavík, were asking people to "love us, don't wear us." Also, PETA held a "fur kitchen" at a Manhattan homeless shelter, where they gave donated fur coats to the only people with an excuse to wear them- the homeless, who can't afford to buy their own sources of warmth.

In my opinion i think "Fur-Free Friday" was a good way to attract and encourage people to not wear/buy fur and it shows that you should care. Giving the donated fur coats to the homeless or to provide bedding for an animal in need is a great way to put the fur in good use.
