   Would Secure Her Forever As An Angel For Animals"

    . . The animal rights organization wants Franklin's   
   family to give her fur collection to PETA's donation   
   program, which distributes collected items to refugees,   
   homeless and wildlife rehab facilities.   
      
   "PETA sent a letter asking the late Aretha Franklin's   
   estate to donate her vast fur coat collection to PETA's fur   
   donation program which sends furs to people in need in   
   refugee camps and at homeless shelters as well as to   
   wildlife rehabilitation facilities, which turn them into   
   bedding for orphaned wildlife," the organization announced   
   in a press release Friday (Aug. 24).   
      
   Franklin's family hasn't accept the offer, but if they do   
   the letter states that the Queen of Soul will "posthumously   
   join" other celebrities "who have donated unwanted fur   
   coats to PETA" including Anjelica Huston, Mariah Carey, Kim   
   Cattrall, Mary Tyler Moore and Sharon Osbourne.   
      
   "By donating Aretha Franklin's fur coats to PETA, her   
   family could expand her legacy of social justice to   
   animals," PETA's Executive President Tracy Reiman added.   
   "While we can't bring back the animals who suffered and   
   died for them, these coats can help others by providing   
   some much-needed warmth to orphaned animals and humans in   
   desperate need."   
      
   The 76-year-old music legend died from pancreatic cancer on   
   Aug. 16. . . .
