Even though People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will be moving to Norfolk in a few months, we see no reason to spray paint Kerry Dougherty's fur coat or any other one (``Yes, I wear a mink, and, no, it doesn't need a paint job,'' Daily Break, Nov. 12).
Since the cruelties to wild and ``farmed'' animals killed for fur are now so widely known, wearing fur is just like wearing a big sign saying: ``Look at me. Aren't I just the dumbest, cruelest thing you've seen this week?''
Go for it, Kerry!
