ADVERTISEMENT "I will say this out loud: I will not wear fur," Mori told AFP. "I love animals and I agree with those who oppose wearing fur products." People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) launched a campaign lastweek to press Mori to renounce fur, angered that she went on the catwalk witha full-length fur coat. Mori and other contestants wore the fur coats during the final round of the preliminary pageant in Japan to select the national candidate, the Miss Universe Organization said. "At that time I wasn't expecting to face this issue so soon as Miss Universe,"Mori said. But Mori said she felt the need to speak out about after being crowned Miss Universe in Mexico City earlier this year. "I am invited to Fendi's show in China next week and I was encouraged to picka coat because it will be very cold when I travel there," she said, referring to the Italian fashion house. "The entire Fendi collection of winter coats which was offered to me to pick from was fur, but I said I would not wear one made with fur," she said. "I will wear a white jumper that will be lent by Fendi." PETA is famous for its publicity stunts and for targeting celebrities who wearfur and companies that sell it. The US-based rights group wrote Mori a letter asking her to "prove that yourbeauty is more than skin deep" and encouraged its members to send her emails. Ines Ligron, Miss Universe Japan national director who helped train Japanese contestants, said she encouraged Mori and other candidates to wear the furcoats in the preliminary contest. Supporting Mori's decision to decline a Fendi fur coat, Ligron said: "She refused even though she was kind of pressured to wear fur." Mori, 20, has said she wants to use her tenure as Miss Universe to fight HIVand AIDS and that she hopes one day to perform on Broadway. She added she also wants to draw the attention of pet lovers in Japan, someof whom go to extremes to put name-brand outfits on their dogs and cats. "I wonder how many children in Africa would starve to death while some peoplehere spend a lot of money on their pets," she said. "We have to think about more than just what's right in front of us." それから、先日報告させていただいた、毛皮反対グッズによる寄付金の領収証が届きましたので、画像アップいたします。今後ともどうぞよろしくお願いいたします!毛皮は必要ですか?http://homepage1.nifty.com/96iruka/hoka/animal_fur.htm毛皮はいらない連絡網http://www.nofur.net/index.aspNO FUR 毛皮は動物のものhttp://www.no-fur.org/毛皮を奪われた動物たちhttp://mbis0.tripod.com/fur/furmain.htmFUR FREE.com(中国毛皮養殖場の内側)http://www.fur-free.com/NO FUR~毛皮を使用したファッションを反対します~http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~nofur/
