CSU - LA Student Makes Her Own Anti-Fur PSA! April 5, 2009

Written by Brooke Kolisar, a student at California State University - Los Angeles

For my TV production class at California State University Los Angeles, I was given an assignment to direct my own Public Service Announcement. After watching footage of helpless animals being strangled, beaten and skinned alive. I knew what subject I wanted to address.

After picking up the required props including a bat, trash and blood (fake of course); I went back to my house to start shooting. I realize I have left out vital forms of torture these animals endure, but I couldn’t bear to ask my actress to re-enact anal electrocution or to chew off her own feet in hopes of escaping death. After all, she wasn’t being paid. :)

Young and old try to emulate what they see in magazines and what they see on fashion runways (I have been a culprit too). But there is a cruelty-free way to do it and in my opinion cruelty free is more attractive. The fashion industry is very powerful but so are we. Somebody needs to speak for the voiceless.
