We’re a thoughtful bunch here at peta2. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a birthday coming up, and we wanted to come up with a birthday present for them. We figured that since they seem to be in such dire need of extra hair on their bodies, why not donate some of ours to them?
Animals have no choice when they are skinned alive, clubbed, gassed, or electrocuted for their fur, but those of us giving hair to the Trollsen Twins certainly do have a choice. Want to wish Hairy-Kate and Trashley a Happy Birthday—while sending a compassionate message?
If you’re getting a haircut soon, or simply have a lot of hair in your brush, put that in an envelope along with a note that reads, “Please, use my hair instead of the animals’. Happy Birthday.” Mail it to the Trollsen Twins at the address found here. And of course, send a picture to StreetTeam@peta2.com so we can see your fine work! Check out what we’re mailing to the twins from peta2:

PS – Do you think it’s any coincidence that the Trollsen Twins’ birthday happens to fall on Friday the 13th?

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
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.)
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.
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 :)

I have to say that this is great. Sometimes being nice JUST DOESN’T WORK. It may take a little more stuff like this for the Trollsen twins to finall “like, get it”

I just got my hair cut a few weeks ago…but I sent it to Wigs for Kids (another worthy cause, ne?). Do you think it would work if I cleaned out my cat’s brush and sent that as a belated b-day gift instead? It’d be like “Use what’s not being used.” or something… or would that just be compleatly irrevalent… Kitty’s hair is animal hair weather he’s useing it or not, right? But it would be a good use for all the Kitty(hair)stuck to my pillow…. Hmmm, it’s an idea.

OMG!! I want to do that!
that sounds like a good idea instead of them wearing ugly animal hides.
they belong on the ANIMAL not the people. If people were meant to have fur woe’d have it now wouldn’t we?

I don’t see why they won’t give in and stop wearing fur. It’s so trashy looking. Yuck.

That’s a hilariously awesome idea, I just cut off 13 inches for a different cause (making wigs for children with cancer, but with no profit to the organisation because they do animal research I wanted to help the kids without hurting the animals) last month though so I don’t really have any hair to spare

sounds weird at first, but then again, wearing someone’s skin is just insane. and they ARE wearing hair, so really I’m only doing them a favor ^.^
