Great ad, I love it!!

Also, along with seeing the Disney movie "Bambi" which I still enjoy even as an adult, you should read the book the movie is based on, "Bambi" (of course) by Felix Salten. It is actually quite different and much more graphic than the movie. Bambi's father, describing hunting from the animal's point of view: "He (the hunter) has three arms, one of which he detaches and uses to throw his tooth at us."

It's a great ad, but the fox is a real fox.

Why isn't it exploitative for her to use a live animal in her ads and not okay for others, other than the fact that you approve of her animal politics? If it's exploitative for one to use an animal in an ad then it's exploitative for all to use animals in ads regardless of their stands on other issues

Don't forget about Stella's dad Sir Paul McCartney who is also a champion for animal rights,not just her mother Linda. And I know Stella is a good friend of Madonna's so why isn't she trying to get Madonna to stop wearing fur? Or if she is trying and Madonna refuses, she should drop her as a friend.

yeah what about that real fox? animals used in photography come from zoos or are taken out of the wild just for one stupid picture. why is peta supporting this? theyre supporting a group that tortures wild animals!!

The entire McCartney family personify compassion in action. Paul, Linda and Stella are the animal kingdom's best friend.

What's the difference between Ms. McCartney using a live fox in her print ad and Hallmark using live chimps on their cards?(see the Urgent alert on the PETA.org web site) There seems to be more than a hint of hypocrisy here

I also love the new campaign for Dos Equiis beer--the most fascinating man in the world is rescuing a fox from a foxhunt.

Too bad Anna Wintour, the Queen of Fur Hags and the mag's editor, doesn't have the heart (and mind!!!) to denounce fur and refuse to feature it in her magazine. I had heard she was going to include a feature about Rachel Alexandra, the stellar Thoroughbred filly who beat Mine that Bird in this year's Preakness Stakes.

I was planning to respond via letter and ask her why she is willing to celebrate the beauty and life of a horse but refuses to see the abysmal suffering and sadistic cruelty inherent in every aspect of fur trapping, farming, and wearing! Is a fox, mink,or lynx somehow not a living, breathing, "feeling" creature just like the horse? What if we started to raise dogs here in this country for their fur and skins? People would scream bloody murder but when it comes to wild and captive fur-bearers, we remain silent?

You go, Stella!

Y'all really think it's real? Nah, I don't think a model's gonna hold a fox in her lap! Photoshop can just as easily drop that fox in the ad as it can Bambi.
