Made from the hide (兽皮) of bushy-haired animals, fur is known as the first material used for clothing. It was used by early humans like the hominoids (类人猿) to keep warm during the winter season or when they traveled to cooler regions. Traditionally, animals were hunted down to produce fur coats. At present though, some animals like the mink (水貂) and the fox are bred and farmed for their fur. Now, wearing fur is considered a luxury because of its price and availability.
Fur coats are produced and used all over the world especially in cooler countries like Russia and Northern Europe. These usually made from the fur of bigger animals like bears, wolves and foxes which are hunted down for their meat and hide. Because of this, several of their species have become endangered. Yet, until now, there has been no law passed to regulate the fur industry. That’s why Animal rights groups, including stars, continue to campaign against fur clothing including fur coat manufacturing.
Dennis Rodman is the first man, and the first sports star, to do a photo shoot for PETA’s “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” series.
During the Fashion Week of NYC in 2005, Rodman came not to sit in the front row at a show, but to unveil his provocative (挑衅的, 震动的) new PETA ad. In the very tents where designers were pushing fur. In PETA’s ad, Rodman appears nude (赤裸的) --- except for his tattoos --- alongside the caption ( 插图说明)，” Think Ink, Not Mink,” and urges :” Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs.”
Rodman watched Pamela Anderson’s three-minute video showing how animals live and die before being made into fur coats. “If you actually look at the video firsthand, it gives you a different perspective on animals and how they’re treated. It’s heart-wrenching to see what they go through,” he said.
