"I don't wear fur and I understand their cause. I am the biggest animal lover in the world. I have four dogs and two horses, and I have rescued animals all my life"
About this Quote
The subtext is class-coded and celebrity-coded. “Biggest animal lover in the world” is obvious hyperbole, but it’s strategically emotional rather than factual: you can’t audit a feeling as easily as you can audit a supply chain. Then come the receipts, and they’re telling. Four dogs. Two horses. Rescue “all my life.” These aren’t just pets; they’re symbols of moral identity and, in the horses’ case, wealth. She’s offering a familiar kind of proof in celebrity culture: personal virtue as proxy for systemic virtue. If she can position herself as someone who nurtures animals, the audience is nudged to assume she wouldn’t materially harm them elsewhere.
Context matters: supermodels live inside fashion’s contradictions, an industry that has long treated fur, leather, exotic skins, and animal-tested beauty as normal. This quote reads like an attempt to thread that needle without naming it. Notice what’s absent: no mention of leather, no brands, no policy, no commitment beyond self-description. It’s a soft bargain with the public - let me be compassionate in public, and don’t ask too closely about the rest.
