Washington: Holiday shopping is in full force, and star of VH1's
Basketball Wives Evelyn Lozada wants shoppers to cross fur and fur trim off
their shopping lists.
Evelyn—a former fur-wearer who had a change of heart and
gave up fur for good after she saw for herself how animals suffer on fur
farms—recently unveiled her cheeky new winter-themed naked anti-fur ad
In the PETA ad, shot by top celebrity photographer Drexina
Nelson, Evelyn aims to show the world that “a woman does not need to wear fur
to be glamorous or beautiful.”
According to PETA activists, "every fur coat, fur trinket, and bit
of fur trim caused an animal tremendous suffering—and took away a life."
Evelyn
realized this when she saw the video footage of animals on fur farms and said,
"You can verbalize what happens to these animals a thousand times, but
[when] you see it, it definitely clicks in—and it did for me."
