On the 25th of October 2010, The Veronicas launched their Anti-Fur ‘Here’s the rest of your Fur Coat’ campaign in Sydney (Australia) for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Their envolvement with PETA started with a chance meeting in the Subway in New York City where a PETA representative noticed Jess wearing her faux fur ‘Fck Fur’ jacket (as pictured below). From there, PETA contacted the girls and arranged to do a campaign photoshoot in late 2009.

Jess in particular is well known for her passionate stance for animal rights, and this is the perfect opportunity for Lisa & Jess to voice their opinion and help raise awareness of the unbelievable cruelty in the Fur industry.

“Compassion & understanding is all that’s needed, as first step to support Animal Rights..The actions made towards your commitment is an individual choice, And will vary from person to person. Remember- help educate and support.” – Jessica Veronica
