Kim Kardashian angers PETA over fur-wearing habit

Kim Kardashian has been targeted by PETA over her apparent refusal to stop wearing fur.

The reality star is made an example of in a campaign launched by the animal rights group, in which her face appears on posters above images of baby foxes with the slogan: "Kim These babies miss their mother. Is she on your back?"

PETA senior vice president Lisa Lange claimed that Kardashian had continued to wear fur despite being informed of the brutality behind her fashion choice.

"Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive," she said on the organisation's website. "We've explained it to her, and she's watched a video expose that was filmed inside fur farms.

"When Kim is ready to put an end to her relationship with fur, PETA will be happy to take her discards and donate them to the homeless."

Kardashian revealed last year that she has received death threats over her decision to wear fur.

Her sister Khloe Kardashian has previously stripped off for PETA's famous 'I'd Rather Go Naked' campaign against fur.

The family this week denied accusations that they are using Chinese "slave labour" to make their fashion lines.
