 Tara Dakides is the queen bee when it comes to freestyle snowboarding. Tara has taken home medals from the most elite competitions in the world of extreme sports—the U.S. Open, the Vans Triple Crown, and the Vans Cup, not to mention scoring gold numerous times at the X Games. Recently Tara, a.k.a. “The Terrorizer,” was awesome enough to take time out of her crazy-busy schedule to jump on board with peta2’s “If You Wouldn’t Wear Your Dog, Please Don’t Wear Any Fur” campaign.
Tara, who is sponsored by Vans, Billabong, and Active, to name just a few, recently told us folks here at peta2, “I just have no idea why anyone would want to wear fur or fur trim when there are so many alternatives. The animals used for fur are just as capable of suffering as any dog or cat.” It’s obvious that when snuggling up with her number one fan—her dog, Buddy—Tara clearly gets the link between animals used for fur and those we call our best friends.
Seeing you take peta2’s fur-free pledge just by clicking the “Fur-Free” button below will make Buddy’s tail wag and Tara so happy that she’ll randomly be doing backflip 180s all over town. If Tara was so psyched about pledging to go fur-free that she was willing to take time away from practicing, touring, and competing to help spread the word on how to help our furry little friends, we know you’re going to want to do the same.
