PETA DEFENDS 'HYPOCRITE' KIMORA

Campaigners for animal activists the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have defended its new spokesmodel KIMORA LEE SIMMONS against claims she is a hypocrite, because her fashion line still uses fur. The designer appears naked alongside her pet pooch in the latest PETA advertisement, urging people to stop caging dogs. She says, "You cannot just chain up an animal. It's cruel. Dogs need to run and play." But critics have pointed out Simmons' Baby Phat fashion company still sells clothes made from rabbit fur. However, the organisation appears to be satisfied with its latest supporter. A spokesperson tells the New York Daily News, "Baby Phat is working at phasing out real fur."
