Baby Margaretha in Fur

Animal treatment has became a major issue in many countries, and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) always have a high concern regarding this. PETA often appointed celebrities and public figures in their campaign ads to promote vegetarian lifestyle and stop using fur for clothes. Eva Mendes, Lea Michele, Alicia Silverstone, and Alyssa Milano are just few examples of actress who've been involved in PETA ads. While for Asian stars, there are Maggie Q (Vietnam) and Aya Sugimoto (Japan).

Apparently, Indonesia is a country that care less about animal treatment. In mid 2011, Australian government has banned the export of their cattle to Indonesia for up to six months, due to the bad treatment to the animals at Indonesian slaughterhouse. In Bali where there are so many wild dogs wandering on the street, the animals are often beaten, neglected, and even killed for meat.

Now, what's the connection between animal treatment in Indonesia with this post? Well, probably nothing. But Indonesian model Baby Margaretha was playing with some fur cloth in the photo-shot. Well, it's probably not even a real animal fur, and might only an artificial one, but it still a bad campaign for animal treatment nonetheless.

One thing for sure, there's no way that we blame Baby Margaretha for this, as she's only a model doing what she do best, that is give pleasure for our eyes.
