<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/span>PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has teamed up with X-Files star Gillian Anderson (Agent Scully) to urge celebrities, such as Tom Cruise and Heidi Klum, to boycott designer Giorgio Armani, who they are accusing of going back on his word to stop using fur.<\/h3>\n

PETA sent letters to a number of celebrities who have worn Armani in the past urging them to boycott the designer. In the letter to Tom Cruise, PETA’s Vice President made particular note of Cruise’s daughter, Suri, saying:<\/a><\/p>\n

“Please be vigilant about any packages that Armani sends for Suri, as they could include bunny fur from his toddler lines.”<\/p>\n

The X-Files Gillian Anderson also agreed to come on board as the head of the campaign against Armani.<\/a> Last year, Armani announced he would no longer use real fur in his designs. Anderson and PETA feel he has gone back on his word, which he made voluntarily in the first place.<\/p>\n

This comes just days after PETA urged Ben & Jerry’s to stop using animal milk in their ice cream and to substitute breast milk instead.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben & Jerry’s said no.<\/p>\n

Of course, the organization is also notorious for using stars, sex and scandal to get their point across. The PETA ads featuring different naked stars, most prominently Alicia Silverstone<\/a> declaring ‘i am a vegetarian’ and the PETA strip-tease quiz<\/a>, in which a woman undresses as you answer questions, have both caused controversy for their objectification of women, who are clearly less important than animals.<\/p>\n
