The animal rights organization has zeroed in on the two stars in the past, but now both Kim and Janet have come under fire once again! Do you agree or do you think they’re picking on the stars?
About a year ago PETA zeroed in on Janet Jackson after she designed a fur collection for Blackglama — and now they’re back to slamming the star, ‘awarding’ her the first-ever ‘PETA Grinch of the Year‘ title stating, “When Janet Jackson had her infamous “wardrobe malfunction” during the Super Bowl, at least the flesh that popped into view was her own—unlike the stolen animal skins that she drapes herself with, which are as dead as her taste in fashion (not to mention her career). Ms. Jackson, you’re just plain nasty.” While the organization means well, does slamming and shaming stars really work?
Also on the list was Kim Kardashian, who recently came under attack a few months ago. PETA stated, “Some have speculated that Kim Kardashian’s wedding to NBA forward Kris Humphries was fake. Too bad the socialite princess doesn’t have the same enthusiasm for faking her fur. Unlike her sweet sister Khloe, who starred in her own PETA anti-fur ad, Kim just can’t seem to divorce herself from fur and say “I do” to a kind and kompassionate wardrobe.”
While I definitely understand where PETA is coming from,the fact that they’re blatantly attacking stars with harsh comments doesn’t seem like an effective method for the cause they’re fighting. I don’t know about you, but I think their time, energy and resources are better spent educating individuals, not slamming stars — simply because it doesn’t look like it’s leading to any change, and that’s the ultimate goal. Do you agree?

The people making comments against PETA and animals rights are uneducated and ignorant. You people know NOTHING about what you’re talking about and it SHOWS. Go to the PETA website (or YOU TUBE) and watch the video “Meet Your Meat.” Next, come back to this forum and THEN have an opinion!!! You have absoultely NO IDEA what process animals go through for their fur and meat. Your knowledge (or lack thereof) is so far from the truth it just sounds like idiotic babble to the rest of us!!!

Thank you for pointing out the fact that PETA is an organization which inhumanely euthanizes thousands of animals daily. Their focus is on celebrites and fur rather than than animals such as pit bulls who are abused and forced to fight daily to ensure survival. That is not an issue for them and ironically PETA has been in support to Michael Vick from the beginning.

Lanam, of course we all are going to die. But we don’t suffer as much as these animals do.

those animal would not be alive if not for being rased for their skin. let be realistic. We are going to die one day.
Nobody lives forever. We do not kill all the animals. we have to make sure that they are not sufering.But death is as natural as life itself. Lets not pretend that animals can live forever. no humanity in overreacting

again…there is a problem with being raised to farm one’s fur…that is not normal as it is being used for fashion (so paris and kim can look good). do you want to be raised for your skin? i would imagine not because it is NOT NATURAL. idiot.

eating meat is the same thing as wearing coat. Why all the people eating meat are slammed? Animals are bread for coats…not killed in the wild. There are regulations to protect endangered animals. Enything in excess is bad pilicy. It is ok to eat meat and it is ok to wear coats made out of animal skin if theyr are raised in the farms.
MAke some regulations that do it in humain way…that is all..

PETA needs to get a grip. Talking smack about people isn’t going to help their cause. PETA euthanizes countless animals every year.
Why would anyone want to follow a cult that believes humans are an infection planet Earth caught. Ingrid Newkirk (the founder) believes all humans should be wiped off the face of the planet.

Oh please… there’s nothing wrong with wearing leather, fur, eating a steak or owning pets. PETA is an organization that puts on a front of caring for the animals, but list HSUS, they are just in it for the money.

you are disgusting – there is definitely something wrong with skinning animals alive – wake your eyes up … oh wait – you probably have no problem with people taking your eyes when you are not done with them… redneck idiot …

Duh, if you knew anything about tannery, you would know they don’t skin the animal alive. Moron.

no, Katrina, I disagree. Peta is right – fur is disgusting. They are calling out celebrities who don’t give second thought to the cruelty behind these ugly clothing choices. If they don’t want to be slammed for murdering innocent animals for “fashion” maybe they should stop doing it

No, you are wrong. Animals are skinned ALIVE everyday, Tens of thousands of them so humans can pump up their flawed egos. You clearly don’t have a clue of the suffering that farm animals are subjected to so you really shouldn’t speak when you haven’t taken the time to find the facts.
Janet has tragically let down her brother. Michael loved all living beings and would never condone what she’s doingl How sad that she has chosen greed over furthering her brothers legacy of bringing more love into the world.
A measure of a society is the way it treats the weakest – Ghandi
Is it any wonder we are in the shape we are in. So don’t complain when injustices are done to you until you are willing to take the responsibility for the injustices that you inflict on others. It’s something known as Karma
