MÖTLEY CRÜE's TOMMY LEE To Lead PETA Protest In Las Vegas

October 8, 2005

"They should change the name to J.Cruel until they stop selling fur," says MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee, who — wearing a body screen TV showing video footage of dog and cat fur production in China — will lead a PETA protest this Sunday (Oct. 9) at a Las Vegas J.Crew store over the fashion retailer's selling of fur, despite repeated promises to PETA that it would not sell fur. Tommy will be joined by members of peta2's Street Team who will hold signs with images of cats and dogs from the investigation next to the tagline "J.Crew: Did Your Fur Have This Face?" All of J.Crew's fur is imported from China — now the world's leading fur-exporting nation and where animals aren't protected by a single law — which means that shopping there potentially supports the hideously cruel dog and cat fur industry.

PETA's investigation found that millions of dogs and cats in China are being bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, and strangled with wire nooses for their fur. This fur is often deliberately mislabeled as fur from other species and is exported into the United States to be sold to unsuspecting customers in retail stores like J.Crew. Video from the China fur investigation can be found at this location.

"Pamela [Anderson] did show me the fur video, which is what got me involved," Lee said. "Everybody should check out jcruel.com to see why we're so pissed off."
