Earn Your Wings - Don't Wear Fur!

In 1994, a groundbreaking PETA U.S. investigation revealed the hideous cruelty of the fur industry, including the gruesome genital electrocutions taking place on a California chinchilla farm. The investigation resulted in the first case of cruelty to animals to be filed against a furrier. Investigators documented that chinchillas were hung upside-down by alligator clamps attached to their ears and labia or anuses. The animals were trembling and fearfully silent until a powerful jolt of electricity froze their movements. In other instances, animals had rods jammed into their mouths or anuses and were electrocuted. It takes at least 100 chinchilla pelts to make just one full-length coat.



Launched on the 5th Febuary 2008, the Earn Your Wings campaign is the latest in a series of Anti-fur campaigns by Imogen and animal rights group, PETA.
This isn't the first time that Imogen has been an angel for animals; she is an avid fur foe who wants to bring attention to the hell that animals endure when they are trapped and raised for their fur. Animals like foxes, rabbits and even our domestic favorites like dogs and cats are bred in cruel factory farms in horrific conditions before being skinned (sometimes alive) and discarded in trash piles.
