Before this week, this year and this decade are officially over,Carrie Underwood is gonna squeeze in one last good deed. She's working with PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and has joined fellow classy chicks Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, and first lady Michelle Obama for this new Fur-Free and Fabulous campaign. (Not to be confused with PETA's "I'd rather go naked than wear fur" campaign that some celebs have signed up for.) All these women are pretty vocal about their refusal to wear fur in any way, shape or form. So when Underwood's watching soon-to-be-hubby Mike Fisher's hockey games, she will just have to find other ways of staying warm at all those cold, cold ice arenas. Share and Enjoy:

Our new banners feature a bevy of the smartest, most stylish, and most influential women in America: Carrie Underwood, Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, and first lady Michelle Obama. Tyra Banks first renounced fur 15 years ago when she modeled a faux-fur hat, complete with a "no fur" button, for PETA. Oprah, who refuses to wear real fur or feature it in O magazine, was named PETA's "Person of the Year" in 2008 for her efforts to educate her millions of viewers about the cruelty of puppy mills and factory farms. And earlier this year, Michelle Obama's press secretary, Semonti Mustaphi, confirmed that "Mrs. Obama does not wear fur." But, of course!

PETA makes sure everyone knows that fur is creepy, cold, and cruel. Read more about who else is fur-free and fabulous and get the details about our work to "Make D.C. Fur-Free" in the spring issue of Animal Times. In the meantime, how about using your influence to persuade others to ditch fur and skins by showing our online video narrated by the wonderfully kind Tim Gunn?
