Model Cindy Crawford has sparked outrage by appearing on the cover of a magazine wearing a fur coat.

The 41-year-old angered animal rights group PETA by posing in the full-length coat for Russian Vogue.

Crawford previously upset the group in 2004 when she modelled for mink clothing range Blackglama after agreeing to be a spokesperson for PETA's anti-fur campaign.

One PETA member said: "What a wretched and sad excuse for a human being. I think she's an ugly person and a washed-up, withered, mole-faced hag whose career was over 10 years ago. Go away Cindy, no one cares about you anymore. People who wear fur are just disgusting and vile."

Another added: "With that big furry mole on her face, you'd think she'd be more sensitive to the plight of animals. The lives of the animals she wears are like her relationships - short and painful."
