JK Rowling Spotted Wearing a Real Fur Coat to Ire of Animal Rights Activists

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has been criticized for wearing a Canada Goose coat by Animal rights charity PETA, according to the Scottish Sun newspaper.

The author was photographed wearing a green coyote fur-trimmed Canada Goose jacket while vacationing in Iceland.  Rowling, who has two dogs of her own, is now being lambasted by PETA for the decision.

“We know JK Rowling loves her dogs, so we imagine that she’d be upset to learn that coyotes, who are in the dog family, are caught in barbaric steel traps and bludgeoned to death, shot, or killed in some other violent way for Canada Goose’s fur trim,” PETA Director Elisa Allen said. “Coyotes and ‘non-target’ or incidental animals, including domestic dogs, trapped in this way can suffer with lacerations and broken bones for up to 72 hours before trappers return to kill those who haven’t already died from blood loss, infection, or attacks by predators.“We will be contacting Rowling with this information and hope she’ll consider donating her Canada Goose garment to PETA so that we can use it in our campaign urging the public to steer clear of the brand until it makes the switch to innovative, cruelty-free materials.”

Canada Goose recently announced it would begin to phase out using fur in its jackets. Other large fashion brands including Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Zara, Versace, Michael Kors, and Gucci have all stopped using fur.
