David Beckham Is Scared of PETA

David Beckham changed his mind about purchasing a fur coat, fearing a backlash from animal rights protestors.

The Real Madrid soccer star fell in love with a £12,000 Christian Dior fox fur jacket during a recent shopping trip to London's exclusive Harrods department store, but decided to keep his wallet in his pocket.

A source told Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "He really took to the coat and after he'd put it on he couldn't stop gazing at himself in the mirror.

"He liked the red colour but explained he couldn't buy it as he was concerned about the animal rights brigade.

"He also joked that his teammates at Real Madrid have no fashion sense and would probably make fun of him if he turned up wearing it."

David's wife Victoria Beckham narrowly avoided becoming a target for animal rights group PETA after they mistook her faux fur gillet for a real animal pelt.
