Animal rights activist asks Olympians not to wear fur

Seoul, Feb 7 (UNI) An animal rights activist braved the freezing cold wearing only a white bikini and bunny ears in Pyeongchang on Tuesday to call on Winter Olympians and visitors to stop wearing fur.
According to an Euronews report, part of animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), Ashley Fruno, stayed around 15 minutes to convey her message by -8° Celsius (18° Fahrenheit) while photographers snapped away wearing warm coats.
PETA says China is the biggest fur producer and claims animals are forced to live a miserable life in tiny cages before being slaughtered and skinned for their furry coats.
