PETA members get ugly over Cindy's fur u-turn

Furious animal rights protestors are set to shame Cindy Crawford into hanging up her fur by plastering her image all over Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard.

Activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are outraged by their one-time supporter's 'sell-out' after the model posed for fur giant Blackglama's upcoming fashion campaign - a decade after she featured in one of PETA's first 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' posters.

The animal rights group aren't planning to let Crawford's u-turn go unpunished - PETA members will brandish giant posters of Crawford's anti-fur photo emblazoned with the word "Sell-Out" outside the model's favourite trendy hangout, the Whiskey Bar, tonight.

PETA members will screen a sickening new video for guests, depicting what happens to animals in fur farms.

PETA Vice President Dan Mathews says: "When the Whiskey's patrons see how animals suffer in the fur trade, they're going to need a stiff drink."

In a letter Mathews sent to Crawford earlier this week, he wrote: "This week, while you're busy airbrushing your pictures, we're compiling horrific video footage of a fur farm in Michigan that we recently investigated, which shows chinchillas struggling and screaming as they're plugged into a wall socket and electrocuted for their pelts."
