Gwyneth Paltrow angers PETA

Gwyneth Paltrow has angered animal rights group PETA by modelling fur.

The organisation released a statement claiming that the actress's campaign for Italian designer Tod's, which sees her promote fur-lined boots and bags, was setting a "terrible example" for her children Apple, four, and Moses, two.

"Gwyneth Paltrow won't be the apple of her daughter's eye if she continues to flaunt fur," a PETA spokesperson said. "It's a terrible example to set for a young child, promoting an industry that electrocutes animals, snaps their necks and skins them alive."

PETA has reportedly sent Paltrow letters and videos "showing how people suffer for fur", but has yet to receive a response.
