Though it is a matter of public record that the First Lady does not wear fur, her public title prohibits her from making any statements on her choice to advance a public campaign. PETA is well aware of this and has used the image anyway. The obnoxious organization feels no remorse in their manipulation, stating:
Peta says it has no plans to remove the posters. "We haven't asked the White House to fund or promote the campaign, as they can't do such things, but the fact is that Michelle Obama has issued a statement indicating that she doesn't wear fur, and the world should know that in Peta's eyes, that makes her pretty fabulous," the organisation's president, Ingrid Newkirk, said.
