'Karate Kid' Star Taraji P. Henson Strips for PETA

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 28th 2011 01:50AM

Actress Taraji P. Henson has joined the growing list of celebrities who are a part of PETA's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

The 40-year-old actress saw a documentary which showed how animals on fur farms were skinned alive, and she immediately gave up wearing fur.

Henson said, "Before I saw that documentary, I would wear fur. But I saw this documentary, and I was riveted. I cried. ... Could you imagine somebody ripping your hair out, while you're still awake, fully conscious? It's ridiculous."

On the PETA website, Henson proclaims, "I don't think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story ... You don't have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that."

UsMagazine.com reports that Henson will unveil her anti-fur campaign at PETA's New York Fashion Week Bash on Feb. 10.

Justin Bieber recently got on board with PETA's campaign to adopt pets rather than purchase them.

Bieber said, "It's really important that people adopt. I really encourage going out to an animal shelter or a place where you can get a dog who has been abandoned or doesn't have a home."

Kathy , name calling and childish insults is all you have ? typical liberal

PETA is so hypocritical. Go look up how many animals PETA took in and then how many of those they actually adopted out and how many they euthanized. I would not pay attention to anything PETA says until they practice what they preach.

Say, WHAT! Well put. Of course you will probably receive death threats, curses, and epithets from the sub-human corps of animal lovers. Recent studies show that animal extremists are more likely to be violent, out of control terrorists and to direct their hate toward humans.
Taraji, put your clothes back on, about all you have done is stir up the testosterone in my black labrador

By glennajus

maybe you would like to be skinned alive

By OfAlaska

This is just another outlet for celeb egos under the guise of a 'cause.' When PETA honchos stop living in New York penthouses on the PETA dime, and know animals besides their pekapoos with rhinestone collars maybe somebody will take them seriously! Oh, and nice rump roast. Mind if I try it?

By BigDaddy

Actress Taraji P. Henson is beautiful and whatever she poses naked for I'm in all the way. I applaud PETA for the naked shot of Taraji.

They make enough warm winter coats that you don't have to wear fur. People think wearing fur makes them look richer, the only thing it does it make them look stupid.

By Keith

Then by all means, PLEASE go naked AND SHUT THE F*CK UP!

By ruff

Some folks'd do well to heed their own advice . . . . obviously you didn't listen to Obama when he asked us all to be nicer to one amother . . . . give it another try, kind sir . . .

Well, then kick EVERYBODY off, loser. Its called an OPINION. If you don't like it then don't read it.
