Good for her! I'm always glad to see a talented actor use their fame to stop cruelty. I knew I liked her.

Three cheers for Christina...you go girl!! But I can't believe people are still wearing fur, after they have repeatedly been made aware of the ethical problems associated with it.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, 'Millions of dogs and cats [including pets] are processed every year under horrendous conditions (many skinned alive) for the [Chinese] fur trade' which supplies more than half of the fur garments imported for sale into the United States. Dog and cat fur is deliberately mislabeled as fur from other species so that it can be sold to unsuspecting Americans.'

Everyone from Martha Stewart to Paul McCartney has denounced this fur,
including some of the largest clothing retailers including J. Crew, Ann Taylor (who has 740 stores in 45 states), Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie and Fitch, and U.K.'s most highly respected fashion chain Topshop. And many stars who had previously worn fur have denounced it after seeing how it is 'produced.'

This is not an issue that concerns only animal rights advocates. Anyone
considering wearing fur has a moral obligation to seek out information
about the 'production' process.

Care For the Wild, East International, and the Swiss Animal
Protection just released their findings from Fun Fur? A Report on the
Chinese Fur Industry. View the short documentary video at the Swiss Animal Protection website!
