American Idol judge and celebrity Simon Cowell recently joined People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ anti-fur campaign.
Cowell is pictured in an advertisement holding a dog with the text,
If you wouldn’t wear your dog, please don’t wear any fur.
An unnamed PETA spokesperson told the BBC,
We’re thrilled to have Simon on board. This advert brings home the reality that . . . the fur trade means animals have been cruelly trapped or beaten to death.
