Vegetarian and animal lover Christina Applegate is encouraging holiday shoppers not to buy fur for the holidays in a revealing PETA e-card.

The Samantha Who? star, 35, tells PETA that her house "has been basically a zoo" since childhood.

"Everything I have has dog hair on it, and that’s just the way it is," says the actress, who poses on the card wearing red gloves with green trim – and little else.

The card reads, "Cross cruelty off your shopping list by avoiding fur coats, collars, and cuffs (unless it's fake fur of course.)"

Applegate says she turned vegetarian during lunch one day on the set of her former sitcom, Married with Children, when she was a teenager.

"[I realized] I can't eat something that has been alive," she said. "So I stopped, and that was it. That was the last time."

Those PETA ads are never revealing enough. I'm going out for a burger.

Hear, hear! Although, after Thanksgiving, I'm going on a diet to lose a little poundage. But chicken is still on the list of goodies to chow down on. :wink:

Does she realize that she is killing a plant when she eats it?

To quote Spock: we all prey on death, even vegetarians.

[Loki]

I guess she feels plants aren't alive.

Plants don't have feelings - or look cute and cuddly.

I've been doing the same thing the last year - successfully, I might add. I've been really surprised at how well I've taken to tofu, of all things. The extra-firm has a good texture and goes really well in stir-fries and the like - you can replace pork or chicken with it.

Of course, it's not for everybody.... ;)

I still make fun of tofu- but truth be told when prepared properly I can't tell the difference, or really care if it tastes good. Tofu nuggets are great!

Hell, that's half the fun of it. :P

If Mother Nature didn't want us to eat furry critters, she shouldn't have made them so damn delicious
