Mark Ronson Says, 'Please Don't Wear Any Fur'

Mark Ronson and Maude for PETA

Mark Ronson is the globe-hopping DJ who took home the 2008 Brit Award for Best Male Artist and a music industry entrepreneur who is connected to some of the biggest names in the business. But most importantly, he is a loving guardian to adorable Maude, who is pictured here with him in his very first PETA ad. They appear next to the tagline "If you Wouldn't Wear Your Dog, Please Don't Wear Any Fur".

Why is this issue important to Mark? He knows that on fur farms, animals are kept in crowded, filthy wire cages, where they often develop neurotic behaviours and become sick or wounded. Fur farmers often kill animals using the crudest and cheapest methods available to avoid damaging the "pelt", including breaking their necks while they are fully conscious and using anal or genital electrocution.

Undercover investigations have exposed these horrifying practices worldwide. In China, where there are no laws protecting animals on fur farms, dogs and cats are killed for their fur too. The fur is often mislabelled and sold as the skin of another animal, so it's impossible to know where, or from whom, fur products come from.

Remember that the skins of beautiful animals are only worn by ugly people. Mark Ronson wants you to help spread the word that animals should never be fashion victims. Share this ad and encourage all your friends to take the Pledge to Be Fur-Free.
