Tell Turkish Prince of Pop Tarkan to Stop Wearing Fur

Turkish pop singer Tarkan has been spotted wearing fur. Please join PETA Asia-Pacific in telling him to do the compassionate thing and "kiss, kiss" fur goodbye.

Animals trapped in the wild may suffer for days before dying from blood loss, infection, exposure, or attacks by predators. Some, especially mothers with babies to feed, chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to escape. Trapped animals are bludgeoned, drowned, or stomped to death. On fur farms, animals spend their lives pacing around in tiny, filthy wire cages, where they often go insane before they are gassed or anally electrocuted or have their necks broken. Sometimes these methods only stun the animals, who often "wake up" while they are being skinned.

A host of entertainers and designers—like Sir Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, Maggie Q, Charlize Theron, Karen Mok, and Mariah Carey—have already shunned fur.

Tell Tarkan that every time he throws his credit card down to purchase fur, he is not only directly responsible for the deaths of dozens of animals but also sending a clear message to everyone that sees him that animals' lives are less important than fashion. Please write to Tarkan and demand that he do the decent and compassionate thing and stop wearing fur.
