 A $7,500 fur coat donated by pop diva Mariah Carey and intended for Mongolia's poor has disappeared, a leading animal rights group said on Thursday.
Carey donated the fur coat to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which told Reuters it had since been lost on its way to Mongolia, where it was to be given to nomads to help them keep warm in the winter.
"After (Carey) received two floor-length minks from a rich admirer, she resealed the box and sent them to PETA," a spokesman said. "One coat was on its way ... to Switzerland, where it was to be included in a sealed container bound for Mongolia as part of a worldwide fur-coat drive in conjunction with the Swiss Animal Protection Society," he added. "But the coat never arrived."(Source) |
