Contact Music reports that PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has dropped Heather Mills McCartney in order to ensure future support from Sir Paul McCartney's daughter, Mary.

A successful photographer, Mary told PETA that she would only continue to work on the animal rights group's future campaigns if Mills was no longer involved with the organisation. For her part, Mills was involved with a successful PETA campaign in 2005 targeting the trade in cat and dog fur across Europe.
