"Gwyneth Paltrow should be ashamed. I can only assume that Paltrow either is ignorant of the facts or lacks human decency and compassion."—Mark Glover, director of Respect for AnimalsTelegraph: Paltrow in fur row with activists (August 17, 2008)

"We've written to her many times, and sent her videos showing how animals suffer for fur, but have never received a response. Apparently her beauty really is only skin deep. Gwyneth Paltrow won't be the apple of her daughter's eye if she continues to flaunt fur. It's a terrible example to set for a young child."—PETA spokespersonTelegraph: Paltrow in fur row with activists (August 17, 2008)

"Animal rights groups are entitled to their opinion but many people do not share this opinion and it is certainly not reflected in the rising global demand for fur. Regrettably, not everyone understands the difference between animal welfare, which has the full commitment of our sector, and animal rights, which seeks to ban every animal use by man, whether for food, medical or scientific research, clothing or companionship."—The British Fur Trade Association spokespersonTelegraph: Paltrow in fur row with activists (August 17, 2008)
