The Fur Flies off Paris

Paris Hilton is officially off fur, and Paul McCartney's soon-to-be ex is the reason.

We're told that Hilton -- who has been known to wear fur in the past -- became alarmed after watching a gruesome PETA video at Heather Mills' home, showing dogs being skinned alive for their fur.  Mills told Hilton that going the "fake fur route wasn't foolproof, because some high-end department stores labeled certain garments "artificial fur" when in fact they were the real deal.

Apparently Hilton vowed on the spot never to wear fur again.

TMZ checked with Paris' rep, Elliot Mintz, who said, "Paris does not wear fur, nor will she wear fur described as artificial fur knowing it came off the backs of animals."   Mintz say he and Hilton are "greatful to Heather for educating us on this terrible subject."

3. but she will still wear Leather Handbags....

This skank is lame.

Fake Fake Fake

Fake fur like her Fake apperance

Fake hair

Fake Color Hair

Fake Tan

Fake blue eyes

that whole video of Paris and ugly sister Nikki Hilton laughing the whole time Fatty Brandon Davis was talking smack on Ms. Lohan was the end of the line.

That shows such disrespt and such low class.

She might have money, let me rephrase or parents might have money but they should have spent some money on manner school cuz this biotch lacks manners, morals and class..

She reminds me of high class white trash .

I wonder what she would do if someone was caught on tape making fun of her nasty femal organs or making fun of things she can not help (like Lindsey's freckles) and it was blasted all over the world.

Paris Hilton lacks talent lacks class and lacks looks.

Her nose should have its own zip-code.

anyways...

peace out

4. Good for Paris! She may be too rich and too skinny, but at least she's not too shallow to show some compassion. I can't understand being just cruel and brutal for the sake of so called fashion. I think fur looks better on the animal that it was meant to be on. Why would anyone want to look like some wild thing crawled on your back and died anyway?

5. Refusal to wear fur is a good start, and she can certainly be of an influence to all her skanky friends to stop wearing fur,also. Next stop: leather! Last stop: veganism! Maybe Paris will be like Angelina in a few years, just full of worthy causes to take her mind off wear she left her panties last night.

6. I'm not a fan of Paris Hilton...However, she showed some (rare) intelligence. wheather anyone likes it or not...she's a role model. Good for her. Also, I can't imagine she could carry those dogs all over the place and NOT be affected by the crulty. Fur is out. You'd have to be ignorant to wear it.

7. Okay, the reason not to wear fake fur ISN'T that it might be real. It is because you are still acknowledging fur as a fashion statement, and other people can't tell if it is real or fake. So the key is to make other stuff fashionable.

With the pictures that The Sun put out of Heather Mills, I would say she and Paris also discussed the fastest way to get out of clothes.

8. I think Paris is making such a great statement especially since she is famouse and has millions of fans. Her fans will do as she does. She is so beautiful. I love you Paris!

9. Maybe Paris could defend the baby seals and have her head bashed in instead of theirs. It would be a plus for the animals and the humans. A win-win situation.

10. So easily convinced. I bet she swore to do this before, but forgot about it because she's so dumb.

11. ok...so now she's taking it easy on animals. She has decided to instead torture humans...have you heard her song yet???

12. NO matter what you all say, i think the world of paris for doing this
she is being very responsible as a high profile celebrity in taking a stand on
not wearing fur, she should be commended for this instead of all the
horrible things people are saying on this site
good for you paris for and i hope other people who wear fur will follow your lead (ex beyonce who has a dog of her own so why would she ever wear fur is beyond me. if only these people knew what these poor innocent animals go through i bet alot more of them would quit.
