Mariah Carey donated a $7,500 fur coat to help Mongolia’s poor, but the coat has disappeared and animal rights activists are upset.

The coat was donated by Carey to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which told Reuters it had since been lost on its way to Mongolia, where it was to be given to nomads to help them keep warm in the winter. Each year, PETA distributes hundreds of cast-off furs to help clothe the homeless and refugees.

In Mongolia, PETA hires impoverished women to cut donated fur coats into narrow strips. The strips are then handed over to nomad families who use them to make the inner linings of their traditional winter coats.

Carey, 36, whose commercial success has not translated into awards show acclaim, was snubbed at the American Music Awards on Tuesday, despite scoring three nominations.
