J.Lo Stops Anti-Fur Ad

An anti-fur ad attacking Jennifer Lopez was pulled from a US magazine.

Music industry paper Billboard was set to run the full-page People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals [PETA] ad in Monday's [March 28] edition.

The ad featured the image of a skinned animal alongside an open letter to Lopez, who wears fur products and whose new signature fashion line Sweetface uses fur.

The letter aimed to "[call] attention to the fact that rabbits, minks, foxes and chinchillas are gassed, strangled, beaten, electrocuted, trapped and drowned to pack your closet and your clothing line full of fur."

According to the New York Daily News, Billboard gave in to pressure from Lopez's record company Sony and publicist Nanci Ryder to drop the $5,000 [£2,650] advert.

Ryder told the News: "I'm doing my job, which is protecting my client."

PETA has since e-mailed the spiked ad to radio stations across America and is planning a mass protest to coincide with the premiere of Lopez's new movie "Monster-In-Law".

"Monster-In-Law", co-starring Jane Fonda, premieres in Los Angeles on April 28.
