Rugby star Ugo Monye, who plays for the Harlequins, has spoken out against the fur industry, appearing in PETA's Ink, Not Mink campaign with a caption reading 'Fur Only Looks Good on Its Original Owner.

Be Comfortable in Your Own Skin, and Let Animals Keep Theirs'. Photographed shirtless to display his tattoos, Monye commented 'Animals used for fur sometimes have their skin ripped off them while they're still alive - that's not OK. I hope that by being a part of the Ink, Not Mink campaign, I'm encouraging fans not to wear real fur because that's the only way this cruelty is going to stop'.
