PETA's Letter To Naomi Campbell

PETA sent a letter to Naomi Campbell – the infamous supermodel who (like it or not) is making news these days for the left and right controversies involving her name. She pleaded guilty to police assault, made a fresh start by claiming her support for black models, and then suffered bad media publicity again when she got kicked off by her modeling agency. Then she was reported to not paying her hotel bills, criticized the famous models of today like Agness Deyn and Lily Cole, publicly thanked Victoria Beckam for helping her in her legal troubles, and the rest is yet to come...

But this time, let's focus on Naomi Campbell's trouble with PETA. The black model insisted on wearing furs despite critics from the animal rights group. And so Naomi Campbell received this letter that might be blatant and rough, but was creatively written in rather amusing way:

Dear Ms Campbell,

Please don't get angry and throw something, but I hear that you are going bald. If this is true, then you understand what it's like to lose your hair. Of course, for animals raised and killed for their fur, the problem isn't just that their looks suffer (have you seen a skinned fox?! Check out FurisDead.com for a quick peek) but that the skin is ripped off their bodies - sometimes while they are still conscious.

If you are balding, please seize this opportunity to make up for promoting cruelty to animals in the fur trade by promoting faux fur and natural fibres. You would look lovely in a synthetic hairpiece and/or a pretty cotton, elegant satin, practical linen or other hat made without harming a living soul. PETA would be pleased to provide you with examples of all of the above.

Very truly yours,

Ingrid E Newkirk
Managing Director
