PETA has sent a letter to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes warning them not to dress daughter Suri, 2, in fur.

Citing Giorgio Armani's use of fur coats in their baby and kids collections, Dan Matthews, the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals writes: "Please be vigilant about any packages that Armani sends for Suri, as they could include bunny fur from his toddler lines."

Though Matthews says PETA has "always admired" Cruise and Holmes' "fur-free personal style," the couple is "among the most highly visible wearers" of Armani.

"We imagine that Suri, like other children, has a natural affinity for animals, which is why we find it shocking that Armani is not only breaking his fur-free promise but also trying to lure children into fashion derived from skinned rabbits," Matthews adds.

This week, PETA sent similar letters to Kristin Chenoweth, Glenn Close, and Heidi Klum, who wore Armani at Sunday night's Emmys.

    HEY PINKY S, learn to read already. No where does it say that little girl has a fur, they are sending out letters because they wear Armani and Mr Armani is starting to use fur in his children's line. Mr Armani has the right to use whatever he wants as long as it is not endangered. And people have the right to buy or not to buy.

    I also question " And what?" That is alot of gall to send someone letters about their children's clothing since she wears Armani. I would love to see one of the Peta people throw something on Suri and see how fast they will be kissing the sidewalk. Too bad they try to take a stand and it always resorts to violence against a person.

    To Cole Trickle: I'm not with PETA, but my guess as to what they'd want you to do? Wear the hemp rope, and if the cops catch you smoking it (it IS, after all, made from marijuana), you can claim PETA made you do it!!!

    LOL, letters of warning. My question is..."Or what?" Anybody read the story about PETA employees picking up animals from shelters and hospitals, under the guise of placing them in homes, only to "euthanize" them in the back of a van, and then throw them in dumpsters behind shopping malls? I'll wear what I want, and I'll eat what I want. No hyp

    Why does a baby need a fur coat? Die already, Tom Cruise.

    PETA: Can I wear a leather belt, or do I have to use a hemp rope to keep my pants up?

    It really is barbaric . We don't need a fur skin to keep us warm. It is not like when we didn"t have choices.
