Judging the judges
July 8th, 2010 by admin
This week, Miss Florida USA announced who the judges will be at this weekend’s pageant. The line-up includes a former Miss USA, a fashion designer, a TV news anchor, and other local notables. Also joining them at the judging table will be Keith Kaplan, executive director of the Fur Information Council of America.
Mr. Kaplan makes $170,000/year to “protect and improve the public image of the fur industry.” Considering the terrible suffering of mink, fox and other animals imprisoned in fur farms, he has a lot of work to do!
Please contact each of the Miss Florida USA judges and politely request that they say a few words to pageant organizers against the pageant’s continued links with the cruel fur industry (and tell them the steer clear of Mr. Kaplan!).
