Word is spreading that Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, is being considered by U.S. President Obama as a nominee for U.S. Ambassador to either the United Kingdom or France. Wintour would be a horrible choice to represent the U.S. with either country.

Anna Wintour is directly responsible for the killing of millions of animals. She has aggressively promoted the egregiously cruel fur industry for decades. She shamelessly peddles fur in every issue of Vogue and often insists that the young designers she mentors use fur.

Each year over 50 million animals are killed for their fur worldwide.

Anna Wintour’s lack of compassion and open support of animal cruelty make her a particularly poor choice to represent Americans in either of these countries which, like the United States, are nations of animal lovers. Join with IDA and the British group Animal Abuse Injustice and Defence Society (Animal Aid) to ask the U.S. President to drop “Nuclear Wintour” from the list of possible ambassadors. Please sign and share IDA/Animal Aid’s petition on the White House petition site.

Millions of animals are suffering and being killed in order to end up as fur coats or other accessories, simply because fur is trendy. We want to change this!

FOUR PAWS is asking seven international companies to stop selling fur; Armani, Burberry, Closed, Kookai, Max Mara, Napapijri and Prada must act responsibly and finally ban this animal cruelty from their product range!

Get involved! Call upon these fashion companies not to use fur anymore.

The email will be sent to Armani, Burberry, Closed, Kookai, Max Mara, Napapijri, and Prada.

fur belongs on whom it was born,
not by the vain and frivolous,
worn
