BRITNEY STRIPS FOR FUR-FIGHTERS
By RICHARD JOHNSON
BRITNEY Spears will bare her bodacious bod for animal rights in an upcoming PETA campaign. PAGE SIX has learned
the songstress has agreed to peel down for a PETA poster that should be available by Christmas.
"It's very exciting news," said PETA mouthpiece Dan Mathews. "We are really thrilled to have Britney join our new
crop of fur-fighters."
It's an animal-rights about-face for Spears, who was slammed by PETA for performing at the MTV Awards with a
caged tiger on stage.
Mathews, who at the time begged Britney to consider "the plight of captive wild animals caged and forced to
tolerate bright lights, crowds and frightening levels of noise," says the songbird has changed her tune.
"A few weeks after we wrote her, we were sent a letter saying Britney had abandoned using animals on tour,"
Mathews said.
"She took our message to heart. There's so many different animal issues, and you can't expect that everyone is
born Ghandi. We think Britney has set a great example of someone who listened to what we had to say and made a
change."
Britney has also signed on to model faux-leather duds on PETA's pleatheryourself.com Web site. "It's a lot of fetish
wear but also non-leather shoes, belts and bags," Mathews said. "Patricia Field is designing some outfits for the
site."
PETA's current "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" poster girl is actress Dominique Swain, who was snapped nude
writing "I Will Not Wear Fur" on a blackboard - a sly reference to her role as a jailbait seductress in "Lolita."
