Ireland

Internationally renowned "I�d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign has just hit Dublin, being organized by Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN) and PETA Europe here in Ireland just in time for Valentines day. Our bevy of sexy nude models including Miss UK 2006 Lucy Evangelista where escorted from their limousine which driven them to the scene of a giant erect bed and awaiting them a huge swarm of photographers and reporters. The scene was being watched by possible hundreds of people gawking to get in on the action. Their message was simple, you can still get that killer look without actually killing anything. The models jumped into bed wearing skimpy sexy red thongs and boxer shorts whilst holding signs reading "Fur Out Love In"

ARAN wants consumers to know that animals trapped for fur suffer excruciating pain�often for days�before their chests are stomped on or their necks are broken by trappers. Beavers caught in underwater traps for their fur struggle frantically before drowning. On fur farms, animals spend their entire lives in tiny, filthy cages, where they suffer physical and psychological distress before they are killed by poisoning, gassing, anal electrocution, or neck-breaking. In China, the world�s leading fur exporter, animals on unregulated fur farms are sometimes skinned alive. Millions of dogs and cats are killed in China for the international fur trade�their fur can wind up anywhere in the world, because it is often intentionally mislabeled as fur from other species. In Ireland fur farming is still completely legal, where thousands of mink and artic fox continue to be slaughtered for their skins which are mainly shipped to Europe and beyond. You can make a huge difference to ensure fur farming here in Ireland is banned forever, please write to:-
