This picture was taken by PETA to propogate its message; its designed to turn the viewer into a vegan non-fur-wearer. The man stares into your eyes; who could say "no, I'd rather wear your dog" to him? He's famous too, so that gives him even more credibility to listen to. And its obvious that he loves his dog, who stares back equally vulnerably. The text on the picture helps a great deal, though PETA could use this photo almost equally as powerfully without it. Asking these kinds of questions definitely makes me more aware that this picture was meant to persuade, and stops me from being sucked in and convinced, though I normally am not anyway.
