Miss Universe, Riyo Mori of Japan, has agreed to stop wearing fur. Her decision came after members of an animal-rights group wrote letters to her.
"She declined to wear a fur coat for an event in China," said Ines Ligron, who works for the Miss Universe Organization. "She refused even though she was kind of pressured to wear fur."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked its members to write Mori and demand that she stop wearing fur.
The 20-year-old Mori has said she wants to use her position as Miss Universe to fight HIV and AIDS. She says she hopes one day to perform on Broadway.
In its letter to Mori, PETA had asked Miss Universe to "prove that your beauty is more than skin deep."

環球小姐日本佳麗森理世在收到來自動物權利團體的連署信後，同意未來將不再穿戴皮草。
「在中國一場活動中，她拒絕穿上皮草大衣，」環球小姐選拔單位的工作人員伊納斯．里格瓏說：「即使她有點被逼著要穿上那件皮草大衣，她還是拒絕了。」
人道動物對待協會（PETA）要求他們的成員寫信給森理世，並希望她可以停止穿戴皮草。
二十歲的森理世曾表示，她希望可以在環球小姐任內致力對抗愛滋病。她也表示，她希望未來有機會在百老匯演出。
在寫給森理世的信中，人道動物對待協會要求森理世向世人證明「妳的美麗不光只有外在美而已」。
美國人道動物對待協會向來以其從事動物保育運動的手法著稱。他們屢屢以名人為目標。
