Tell Rain to Ditch Fur! Popular Korean singer Rain has been spotted
wearing fur. Please join PETA Asia-Pacific in telling him to do the
compassionate thing and pledge not to wear fur.
Animals trapped in the wild for their fur may suffer for days before dying
from blood loss, infection, exposure, or attacks by predators. Some, especially
mothers with babies to feed, chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to
escape. Trapped animals are bludgeoned, drowned, or stomped to death. On fur
farms, animals spend their lives pacing in tiny, filthy wire cages, where they
often go insane before being gassed or anally electrocuted or having their
necks broken. These methods don't always stun the animals, who often "wake up"
while they are being skinned.
Many entertainers and designers, including Karen Mok, Sir Paul McCartney,
Stella McCartney, Maggie Q, Charlize Theron, and Mariah Carey, have already
shunned fur.
Please write to Rain and let him know that every time he throws down his
credit card to purchase fur, he is not only directly responsible for the deaths
of dozens of animals but also sending a message that animals' lives are less
important than fashion. Please ask Rain to do the decent and compassionate
thing and stop wearing fur.

Dear [ Decision Maker ],
(Edit Letter Below)
I am writing to express my concern over sightings of you in fur. More and
more people are realizing the inherent cruelty of the fur industry, and I hope
that you will too. A recent investigation of fur farms in China exposed
horrific cruelty. The investigators videotaped workers who were swinging
raccoon dogs and foxes by their hind legs and slamming their heads to the
ground - breaking the animals' necks or backs but leaving them panting,
blinking, and conscious as they are skinned alive. Many animals raised for fur
are killed by anal or vaginal electrocution, gassing, or suffocation. Please
stop promoting the suffering and deaths of animals and stop wearing fur
immediately. As a role model for many people, you have the duty to set an
example of compassion and kindness. Respectfully yours,

about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to
other animals as well as humans, it is all a sham." -- Anna Sewell
