Activists Urge Kim Kardashian to Lose Fur

Animal-advocacy groups are targeting television star-entrepreneur Kim Kardashian for her support of the fur industry and her sister Khloe’s withdrawal of support for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Kardashian was “flour-bombed” by PETA members last month at the launch party for her perfume, resulting in her and her rumored boyfriend Kanye West speaking out on Today and in a song (respectively) about their right to wear fur and their distaste for the organization. In response, Last Chance for Animals rallied against the star outside her boutique, Dash, reprimanding the star for speaking out in support of the cruel industry. While her sister Khloe no longer officially supports PETA, her former anti-fur views may help influence Kim to change her perspective.
