Jennifer Lopez has become the latest target of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The animal rights group is are urging people to write Lopez to ask her to stop using real animal fur in her clothing line. Lopez' line, Sweetface, debuted last month during New York Fashion Week.
PETA's website notes that other designers including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Todd Oldham, and Marc Bouwer have 'created synthetic alternatives that are hip, humane, and easily available and don't turn animals into fashion victims.'
The website goes into a great deal of detail on methods used to skin animals, while at the same time offering video of Lopez wearing fur. PETA claims to have contacted Lopez to urge her to find an alternative to the slaughter of live animals in the name of fashion.
