Heather Mills McCartneyHeather Mills McCartneyHeather Mills McCartney, the wife of Beatle Sir Paul, has accused supermodels of selling their souls by wearing animal fur.

A statement on her website - which has been signed by Paul's daughter Stella McCartney - singles out supermodels Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell.

"Do they really need that cash? Are they broke? Do they live in a shed?" she said.

She criticised the three models after they backed 1990s anti-fur campaigns by pressure group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
 
"Cindy Crawford famously supported PETA's 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' campaign, but has now sold her soul to the fur trade, as have Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell," Heather wrote.

"These are models who were fully informed of the cruelty involved when they joined in the campaign against fur to support PETA, but who then decided to take the money and rejoin the industry that murders animals."

She also attacked Jennifer Lopez for her clothing line Sweetface, which features fur.

"J Lo is one of the biggest celebrity buyers of fur for her own clothing line Sweetface: boycott her films, perfume and clothes as well as her music until she decides to give it up," she said.

Heather urged supporters to boycott celebrities who promoted fur and to write to designers telling them they would not buy their designs until they stopped using fur.

She added: "There will, of course, always be the odd person who you cannot influence or inject any warmth into; these people will have to live with their consciences and will reap their rewards for their actions in this and future lives."
