PETA has found 2 new celebrities to slander and try and make them change their fashion accessories. Lady Gaga and Rihanna are their new target after seeing them step out in accessories made from animals. Hit the jump
PETA has branded Lady Gaga and Rihanna as “freaks” after the two pop megastars were spotted wearing clothing and accessories made from animal products.
Rihanna was criticized by the animal rights organization after she took to the streets of London on Thursday wearing a pair of thigh-high snakeskin boots, according to the Daily Express.
“Rihanna may not have a clue that snakes killed for boots are often nailed to a tree and skinned alive. Of course, they can’t go on Oprah to cry about it,” said a PETA spokesperson, referring to the singer’s recent appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show.
“Wearing reptile skin is creepy and callous, and it makes her look even more out of touch. She and Lady Gaga seem so desperate to be freaks instead of recognized for their talents that you have to wonder if they realize that they are being laughed at.”
Lady Gaga had previously been praised by PETA for her anti-fur stance.
“I hate fur and I don’t wear fur,” the singer had said on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2009.
However, the animal rights group lambasted Gaga for being a hypocrite last month after she was seen donning a number of fur coats in public.
