Dallas -- Wearing nothing but spatters of fake blood and body paint that mimic Burberry's signature pattern and holding posters that read, "When Plaid Goes Bad," sultry PETA beauties will protest outside a Burberry store in Dallas tomorrow. Other PETA members will hand out leaflets and show PETA's fur-farm expose--narrated by world-famous fashion designer Stella McCartney--to let shoppers know how countless animals suffer and die to become part of a Burberry coat.
Date: Wednesday, August 8
Time: 12 noon
Place: Outside the main entrance, Northpark Center
PETA showed Burberry executives video footage of how animals caught in traps often resort to chewing off their own legs in order to escape and how animals on fur farms are gassed, electrocuted, or have their necks broken, yet Burberry continues to sell fur.
"I'll gladly bare my skin if it will help save animals' skins," says PETA's Alexia Weeks. "Even in the 21st century--with so many stylish, comfortable alternatives to fur available--Burberry is supporting one of the most hideous industries on the planet."
