PETA Goes After Aretha Franklin

February 18, 2008 


PETA has a new target, and it’s a big one! The suits at PETA are attacking Aretha Franklin for her love of fur coats.

In an open letter to Aretha, PETA rep Dan Matthews writes, "Music lovers may think of you as a 'queen,' but to animal lovers, you are a court jester...

"Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as 'queen of compassion,' Mariah Carey, did. You'll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises."

Ouch!

PETA wants to talk about hypocrisy? From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. This is from their own records. Google on PETA kills animals and see where your donations are going.

Hey PETA, why don't you give your opinion to someone who gives a fuck? Nothing against Aretha, but not wearing furs, will not take away from how huge this broad is. All the good work PETA does always gets overshadowed by stupid shit like this. I mean, really, that fur would wear her big ass if it could. She just got to it first.

ARETHA FRANKLIN PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO PETA. THEY ARE REALLY JUST A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITE PC GANGSTERS!
