PETA is very mad at Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen because they continue to wear fur, despite the organizations pleas.
“Mary-Kate and Ashley have ignored pleas to stop wearing fur and are still using it in their fashion collection,” PETA states.The group has decided to do something about it. They are launching a campaign today, using their models “Hairy Kate” and “Trashley” to demonstrate the unethical treatment of animals.
According to the PETA press release, the campaign
features a “Fatal Fashion” animated dress-up game complete with animal skins and the accompanying blood; a mash-up video called “Full House of Horrors,” in which footage from the twins’ former TV show Full House is interspersed with scenes in which animals are killed for fur; and information about actions visitors can take to get through to the ethically challenged 21-year-olds, whose hearts are apparently as nutrition-starved as the rest of their bodies. Visitors to the site can also pick up free Web banners showing the Trollsen sisters draped in animal skins–and blood.
How do you all feel about MK and Ash wearing so much fur? Are you cool with it, or is PETA right?
To meet the Trollsens, PETA has set up an entire website, which you can check out here. You can dress them, visit the Full House of Horrors and more.

I AM TOTALLY okay with fur wears and of couse, leathers. They are not from those endangered animals, arent they? YES, i know any one of you guys reading this might want to get your hands around my neck. Lol. I don’t really like PETA actually.
Too extreme ideas they have on their mind. banning animals consumption (HA! over dead bodies of billions people). TOO IDEAL!! many are still living in poverty and poor education.
My stand is that, there should be a limit on animal products. Like what kind of furs and leathers used for fashion. (Wool, chicken feathers… and watever).
And cases like those in southeast asia, like the selling of endangered species. oo, Im hating that one. But when it comes to fried chickens and their feathers (they can be used for cleaning)…. Thats what I need for living.
HEY MARY-KATE! LOVE THE FUR!

You know what? Humans have been using fur for hundreds of thousands of years and I don’t see why it was fine then and now it’s immoral.
Unless the animal is endangered, there is nothing wrong with wearing fur.
Peta needs to get the hell over it.

maybe it was ok at some point in the past but that was just because people had their own lives to care about! the human life had no value let alone the animal s life. now we are supposed to have move past that point and have the luxury to actually give a damn about something else rather than ourselves..

seriously not that im a mass fan of wearing fur, but regarding the actual question of whether im ok with it.. i say it’s fine.
i mean the animals usually are not killed specifically for it, like the leather on everyones boots, that cow was probably someones lunch. campaigning against fur is like campaigning against anyone who is not vegetarian, or anyone who wears leather boots.
and i can say im no hypocrite, so im not one to judge.

Meh. Humans have always used fur for clothing. Again, unless the animal is endangered, there’s nothing wrong with fur.

lili, i said i was taking it to the exxstreme by comparing them with humans, but i was just trying to make my point, it is cruel! and when some people say they dont have anything against it, that provokes me so much i just had to compare it with something they could relate to. and since u brought it up, i am strongly against abortion.

I agree that they shouldn’t wear fur; maybe it’s just me but dead animals just aren’t that attractive wrapped around lively young celebrities. Or anyone, for that matter.
On the other hand, Peta is kicking itself in the ass by lodging such an immature campaign against them….they’ll get more press for how stupid the campaign is rather than the media they really need for the actual root issue of fur!

Yes, the human have been wearing fur for thousand years but think about why. Now we use it because it looks ‘hot’ (i don’t think so). Because it’s fashion. Because everybody else wears it. But do you think the Neanderthal people which existed on earth for thousand, of thousand of years weared fur because they thought it looked hot? They weared fur because they had nothing else to wear. So I just say: Welcome to the 2000s, there is something called clothes. Stop wear animals. I love MK and Ash. but even I can say that I hate them when the wear fur. I can say it to anyone.
STOP WEAR ANIMALS!

They are definitely wearing real fur, and it’s hideous! Anyone who can watch the immense cruelty that goes into raising and killing these poor animals for fur and think PETA needs to “get over it” is lacking a soul. There are raccoon dogs in China being skinned alive so the Olsens can walk around thinking they look hot in fugly furs. It is awful. Watch the video! We need to tell them this isn’t the middle ages and there are alternatives to fur now that doesn’t involve torturing innocent animals. Surely they’d listen to their fans.

If they love wearing animal skin so much, they should skin their dogs- I know ppl will get mad that I posted that comment but seriously it is disgusting when you think about it. OH. But wait a minute, “dog fur is not as LUXURIOUS as mink!”

Okay people, get a life!!~~~
It’s none of your business if MK and Ashley wear fur. Why are you all trying to push your beliefs on everyone else?! You’re like the Jehovah’s Witnesses for fur.
I’m a vegetarian but most of the PETA people are not vegetarian let alone vegan. How is wearing leather shoes or eating meat okay but fur isn’t. Leather is the same as fur just with the fur stripped off!
For f**ks sake… who cares! Get a hobby.

i’ve read somewhere producing fake fur damages the envinronment more than actual fur, but whatever.
i agree that is pointless to say ”it’s cute, let them wear” – but i also think PETA people are totally morons. they go to extremes too.

this comment by melissa:
it is obvious that girls look up to their fashion style…so saying “leave them alone…let them be” is a retarded comment. they are making a statement by wearing fur and it is a very disappointing one. someone needs to show them a “inside a fur farm” video. give them nightmares.
OKAY…LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT?
you can take up for animals…and yet you use the word retarded so casually…FIRST OF ALL..people that are born were their mind isn’t all together wouldn’t be able to take offense to this…but i do.
my little brother was born where he wasn’t fully right and you using that word only SHOWS THAT STOPPING PETA WON’T CHANGE THE WORLD..bc we still have ppl that use the words retarded and gay as if these people don’t deserve to live….i get that you didn’t mean it like that…but my point is…..THAT YOU SAYING THAT…while trying to defend your response only made you sink lower…. so right… peta stops the world from making coats…what next? the world will NEVER BE PERFECT…bc peta will never win just like ppl will never stop referring to mentally ill ppl as retarded.
and you using that word only makes you look like you approve of that.
now….as i said before..i highly doubt that you meant it that way… but you really should watch your choice of words…..
because when you are arguing something that isn’t right… you should make sure to use politically correct grammer.

I think PETA should leave the girls alone! Offending them by calling them “Hairy Kate” and “Trashley” is not going to persuade them to stop wearing fur. Who cares if someone wears fur? People have been wearing animal skins and furs since the beginning of time. If PETA’s SO concerned with animal cruelty maybe they should focus on something more widespread, like the million dollar meat industry! Seriously, wearing fur is natural and it’s not a big deal.

The only statement fur makes is “I’m a big ignorant selfish rich jerk!” Anytime I see someone wearing fur I imagine that they probably treat people pretty badly if they can support such a cruel industry. There is no reason to wear fur at all anymore. I think if they really knew how horrible it is for the animals- having their legs caught in traps or being raised in horrible conditions and sometimes being skinned while they are still alive and breathing- they would stop wearing it. If they know all of the facts and still continue to wear it then that really says something about their character. BTW if you own fur and don’t want to wear it anymore you can donate it to helping orphaned animals. This is the only good use for “vintage” fur. Wearing it only promotes the cruelty.
