Wearing fur is a major no-no, but say a family member has some fur coats taking up space in a closet. What do you DO with them? Why not donate them to PETA so that we can use them to help animals? That’s right—your donated furs could offer comfort to sick, injured, orphaned, and homeless animals.
Our pals across the pond at PETA U.K. recently delivered a bundle of unwanted furs to The Fox Project, and they were kind enough to send us some super-cute photos of rescued red foxes snuggling up in the furs and using them as bedding.

Do you have family members who still wear fur? Show them this blog post and see if their heart isn’t melted by these adorable rescued foxes!
Why not sign our Pledge to Be Fur-Free now? Then learn how you can put unwanted furs to good use!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

Superfabulous idea! Yes, I know people who still wear fur and YES I will send this to them. Maybe if they know they are donating to a good cause and actually giving their furs a better home and purpose, their hearts will get all melty and they’ll do the right thing! Many thanks!
