	What Cost is Beauty? When our good looks mean bad news for animals Feature Editors: Shaquana Nedd, 16 (right) Ingrid Noj, 15 (left) Massachusetts Imagine that you're walking down the street and you see a woman wearing a black leather coat with a fur-trimmed collar, black knee-high snake-skinned boots, and a leather purse with fur trim that matches her coat. Her eye shadow complements her fair brown skin, and her hair is freshly washed and conditioned. Do you know how many animals were injured, mistreated, and even killed to produce her outfit and to test her cosmetics? Teen Voices explores the hidden high cost of fashion and beauty.

	A Deadly Makeover			Fur = Fashion??				Get Involved!
	With every sweep of eye shadow and smear of foundation, animal rights activists are reminded of the countless number of animals who died to create the products. How many animals were sacrificed for the contents of your makeup bag?			It may be easy to see a fur coat as the latest trend, but Taylor Daugherty sees it as much more. She feels that animals shouldn't have to die just so that fashion designers will have something furry on their runways.				Had enough? Good! If you're ready to put an end to animal cruelty, check out our tips for how to stand up for animal rights, and get inspired by one girl's road to animal activism.
