After repeated calls and letters to Beyoncé Knowles
about her red carpet appearances in real fur, PETA is running
an advertisement in Billboard Magazine asking the "Naughty
Girl" to be nice to animals.
PETA's full-page appeal tells the story of Jasmine, a black-and-white
springer spaniel who recently wandered into an unmarked Conibear
trap set by a Wisconsin fur trapper and struggled to free herself,
only to die in her teen guardian's arms. Fur trappers call Jasmine
and other unusable dogs and cats routinely caught in traps "trash"
animals. Since the coyotes, foxes and beavers who are beaten and
drowned in traps are not the only animals who suffer in the fur
industry, PETA is hoping that the sad story of a beloved family
dog will prompt Beyoncé to have a change of heart about wearing
real fur.

"fashion victims."
Please write polite letters encouraging Beyoncé to set a
kind example for her fans by dropping fur from her wardrobe.
