Christina Applegate's Anti Fur Christmas Campaign

Posted on November 20, 2007

Christina Applegate is opposed to people giving fur as Christmas gifts. She's starring in a campaign for PETA. The campaign features an e-card which shoppers can send out asking people not to give fur for Christmas. Christina, who is a vegetarian, talked about why she supports PETA and why she is anti-fur.

On Why She Went Vegetarian: " was eating lunch on the Married With Children set, and they served me some kind of meat (I don't even know the names of them all anymore because it's been so long). I looked down and there was blood on my plate, and it was that realization, that I can't eat something that has been alive, I just can't do it. So I stopped, and that was it. That was the last time."

On Her Many Pets: "Always, ever since I was a little girl, my house has been basically a zoo. Everything I have has dog hair on it, and that's just the way it is."

On Encouraging People to Try Synthetic Fur: "They make really great synthetic fur -- you really don't need real fur. And it's cheaper, so why spend the money? The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals?"

You can see Christina on her new hit comedy Samantha Who? Mondays on ABC.
