First lady Melania Trump is gaining the praise of PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, after the first lady wrote a letter to Pamela Anderson thanking her for a custom faux fur coat.

“Pamela Anderson sent elegant Melania a stylish faux fur, as well as a video showing how animals are cruelly killed in the wild and on fur farms, so it’s no surprise that she is now fur-free, following in the footsteps of so many fashion icons and first ladies,” Dan Mathews, PETA senior vice president, said in a Wednesday statement to the Washington Examiner.
