Heather Mills dropped from PETA
Tuesday,
February

2007
Heather
Mills
has
been
dumped
by
animal
rights
group
PETA
-
at
the
request
of
Sir
Paul
McCartney's
daughter
Mary.
Heather,
the
estranged
wife
of
Paul,
was
dropped
by
PETA
after
37-year-old
photographer
Mary
threatened
to
quit.
A
source
said:
"Mary
was
keen
to
take
photographs
for
PETA,
which
she
has
done
in
the
past,
but
wanted
reassurances
that
Heather
no
longer
represented
the
group." PETA
bowed
to
her
request,
and
Mary
will
continue
to
work
on
the
"I
would
rather
go
naked
than
wear
fur"
campaign.
A
spokesman
for
PETA
said:
"We
have
no
further
plans
to
work
with
Heather
Mills.
We
are
very
grateful
for
Mary
McCartney's
involvement
on
the
new
campaign."
Mary has previously photographed Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee and Sophie Ellis Bextor for PETA campaigns. Her latest portraits feature British singer Jamelia, 26, posing with a rabbit. Before Heather's split from Paul last year, the former model regularly worked for PETA, protesting against Canadian seal culling and the fur trade.
Heather, 39, even stripped off for PETA's 2007 calendar, but the photographs were dropped after her bitter divorce battle began. Sir Paul, 64 and his family - who have worked with PETA for nearly 20 years - were inspired by Paul's first wife Linda's passionate vegetarian beliefs.
