Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest celeb to catch flack from PETA after being spotted sporting a fox fur shawl in Tods’ latest ad campaign.
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk criticized the repeat offender while pointedly playing off the name of the actress’ 4-year-old daughter, Apple.
“Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she flaunts the skins of once-beautiful animals,” Newkirk said in a statement. “Promoting an industry that electrocutes animals, snaps their necks, and skins them alive is a shocking example to set for a young child.”
Surprisingly, Paltrow has previously been held in high regard by animal activists for her strict vegetarian diet and support of environmentally-friendly lifestyles.
But Newkirk contends the actress’ “beauty really is only skin deep,” and claims PETA has “sent [Paltrow] videos showing how animals suffer for fur” along with numerous letters urging the Iron Man star to go faux.
Hollywood ladies be warned: Paltrow is not the first celebrity to fall under the animal rights group’s radar.
Last December, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were targets of an aggressive ad campaign featuring a photo of the two with the words “Fur Is Worn by Beautiful Animals and Ugly People” emblazoned across.
