Today's blog features guest blogger, peta2 UK's Violet.
"Surprise" is the word of the day ... Lilly Allen, who peta2 have long adored, stepped out in London in a massive furry hat! Reports vary on whether the hat was in fact real fur or a very convincing fake, though we (and our furry friends) are rooting for the latter. PETA UK has been flooded with phone calls and emails from disappointed fans, so today we sent a letter to ask if the hat is indeed real, and remind her of the horrors that animals face on fur farms.

Lily's no thicky, she's not usually the type to buy into cruel faddy celeb trends! Not so long ago, where some stars would have bought their latest designer dog, Lily adopted her gorgeous little pooch Honey (pictured) from Battersea dogs home.
It goes without saying that there's no kind way to rip the skin off any animal's back—dogs, cats, foxes, rabbits!! Fur farming is deemed so cruel that it is banned in the UK and outsourced to countries where animal welfare laws are practically non-existent. Come on, Lily, everyone knows that clever girls fake it!

I wish I could get paid to make MS Paint pictures for a career. :(

I never fail to be gobsmacked at the amount of people who simply don't care about what the animals go through - people like Kate Moss, Elle McPherson, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna ....... the list goes on and it sickens me even more because these people are extremely influential in what others wear.
I really do mean it when I say that nothing on earth would make me wear fur!!
I've seen photos that haunt me of live animal skinning in China - even now I can't shake those images out of my head as a beautiful wolf was skinned alive as it was held down - the pure agony on its poor face broke my heart!

Yeah it was real. Finnish fox fur. How gross.
