Many of you probably already know that T.I. began serving his sentence for federal weapons charges last week. But what you may not know is that before reporting to prison he consulted our good friend Martha Stewart about how to pass the time in the big house.
It just so happens that shortly after Martha was released from jail, she narrated a PSA about the horrors of the fur industry, so we thought since T.I. sought advice from Martha maybe he'd want to follow in her footsteps and speak out against fur too by posing for our iconic "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign. Who wouldn't want to see that?!
So we wrote the rapper and let him know we understand he'll soon know what life is like "for the millions of minks, rabbits, and other animals who are confined to filthy sheds on fur farms. But unlike inmates who are freed when they finish their sentences, these animals are beaten, have their necks broken, are electrocuted, and are often skinned alive for their fur."
Hopefully T.I. will consider our offer, I mean how can he not after finding out how terribly animals suffer for fashion?! Now we just have to sit back and wait for his response ... with fingers crossed.
What do you think? Do you want T.I. to do a "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" ad for us?

You know, I really don't care much for rap at all, but it might help reach fans who otherwise would not know about the fur industry. I say it's a good idea.
Posted by: Stephi at June 9, 2009 6:47 PMYES!! the more famous people who speak out, the more informed other people!
Posted by: Sam at June 10, 2009 4:12 PMYES!! Since he's known by SO many and has great music, him doing a campain for "I'd rather go naked" would spread more awareness of the subject.
Posted by: Sarah at June 10, 2009 6:15 PMpersonally i beleive that TI will go for this idea because after experiancing "the big house" he will (hopefully!)hate to even think of anyone being treated the way he was and especially if that person (animals are people too!) gets killed at the end of thier struggle. i also agree with STEPHI. the more people (especially icons like TI) that speak out about the horrors of the fur industry the more other people we'll have fighting with us :)

That'd be really awesome if he would agree to it. He's an idol to some & nearly all of the younger generations have heard of him. If people can see that T.I is against it; Maybe that action will influence others in the same way. It'll bring the truth of the horror to the public eye.
