With their nude bodies covered in 'blood' to depict the plight of animals skinned alive for their fur, PETA members will hold a "die-in" and lie silently in a pile outside a local J.Crew store on Monday.
Other participants will hold giant posters that read, 'J.Crew's Fur Has a Face.'
PETA has learned that the clothing retailer is selling items made with the skins of foxes, rabbits, coyotes, and minks this fall after previously and repeatedly pledging to PETA that it would not sell fur.
PETA with more than 850,000 members,was founded in 1980. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA ) is the largest animal rights organization in the world.
PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.
