British actress-model Elizabeth Hurley is the cause of a rage among animal welfare activists for endorsing fur coats from American fur house Blackglama.
The company’s ads, which carry the tagline “What becomes a legend most?”, feature the 43-year-old beauty in only a black fur coat as a top.
“It’s shocking that she’s taking money to wear baby minks, who are skinned at six months old for Liz’s luxuries,” said Director of PETA Europe Robbie LeBlanc. “Her wardrobe is now as dead as her film career. Millions of animals are electrocuted and skinned alive, suffering terribly for the production of fur.”
For Hurley, the Blackglama deal is reportedly worth $450,000. Then again, the celebrity, who recently launched her own swimsuit line, has an estimated net worth of $20 million.
So what gives?
