Tell Turkish Prince of Pop Tarkan to Stop Wearing Fur Turkish pop
singer Tarkan has been spotted wearing fur. Please join PETA Asia-Pacific in
telling him to do the compassionate thing and "kiss, kiss" fur goodbye.
Animals trapped in the wild 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 around in tiny, filthy wire cages, where they
often go insane before they are gassed or anally electrocuted or have their
necks broken. Sometimes these methods only stun the animals, who often "wake
up" while they are being skinned.
A host of entertainers and designerslike Sir Paul McCartney, Stella
McCartney, Maggie Q, Charlize Theron, Karen Mok, and Mariah Careyhave already
shunned fur.
Tell Tarkan that every time he throws his credit card down to purchase fur, he
is not only directly responsible for the deaths of dozens of animals but also
sending a clear message to everyone that sees him that animals' lives are less
important than fashion. Please write to Tarkan and demand that he 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 collected video footage showing that
farmers swing raccoon dogs and foxes by their hind legs and slam their heads to
the ground - breaking the animals' necks or backs but leaving them panting,
blinking, and conscious as they are skinned alive. Many 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. Sincerely,

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
