Mariah Carey to donate fur coats to PETA homeless project

Mariah Carey has given some of her fur coats to animal rights charity PETA.

The organisation have teamed up with retailer Liberty London's to launch their annual winter homelessness campaign.

The project ultimately sees fur coats being donated to the homeless in winter - because "only people desperately lacking basic necessities have any excuse to wear fur".

Carey has been joined in the project by fellow celebrities Kim Cattrall and Debbie Harry.

PETA director Mimi Bekhechi commented: "Thanks to dozens of donors who dumped their furs in favour of kindness, PETA is able to send a vital message about having compassion for animals this winter - and that only people desperately lacking basic necessities have any excuse to wear fur.

"We're calling on kind people to keep the homeless in their hearts this Christmas and to show compassion for animals at the same time by donating any real fur items to those in need."

Last year over 15,000 items were donated to the cause.
