Kate Moss has become a new target for animals rights protectors after wearing fur in a campaign for Burberry.

"There will be occasions where the use of fur will be… important to the design and aesthetics of a product," Burberry has defended itself after being slammed by PeTA and other animal rights groups, "We will not use fur if there is a serious concern that the fur has been produced by the unacceptable treatment of the animals concerned."

Kate Moss has also been targeted - this time by the World Society for the Protection of Animals, who have written her a letter appealing to Kate to boycott fur.

 

"I've written in the hope that she will think twice before wearing or advertising fur in the future," said the director of the society that staged a protest enclosing video footage of fur farming.

"I've written in the hope that she will think twice before wearing or advertising fur in the future," World Society for the Protection of Animals wrote in a statement.

Kate Moss has also been criticised for remaining as the face of Burberry, who use real fur, while signing a $50 million contract to design for anti-fur company TopShop.

"It shows that she does not have any ethics but is willing to take money for whatever she can get," a PETA spokesman said.
