Halifax, NS -- PETA's internationally renowned "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign will hit Halifax tomorrow. Sexy PETA activists Mary-Ellen Power and Emily Lavender will cuddle up in a bed on a public sidewalk wearing nothing but their underwear and holding a sign reading, "Fur-Out, Love-In." PETA's demonstration will take place at the kickoff of Atlantic Fashion Week.

Where:  1800 Argyle St., Halifax
When:    Thursday, April 15, 12 noon

PETA's message to consumers: Animals who are trapped for their fur suffer excruciating pain before they are killed by trappers, who stomp on the animals' chests or break their necks. On fur farms, animals spend their entire lives in tiny, filthy cages before workers kill them by breaking their necks or using poison or anal electrocution. In China--which is now the world's leading fur exporter--animals who are killed for their fur, including millions of cats and dogs, are often skinned alive.

"Compassion is a big turn-on, but fur-wearers leave me cold," says PETA vixen Emily Lavender. "By showing some of my skin, I hope to save animals' skins."
