Gwyneth Paltrow is the new “celebeauty” under fire with PETA.
Gwyneth posed in animal skin for Italian designer Tod’s. The pictorial featured Gwyneth in fur-lined boots.
A PETA spokesperson says they sent Gwyneth videos and letters showing the suffering animals endure through the process of the fur trade.
PETA went on further to completely bash Gwyneth’s entire lifestyle. They even attacked her parenting skills.
The spokesperson continued their rant saying, “Gwyneth Paltrow won’t be the apple of her daughter’s eye if she continues to flaunt fur.”
“It’s a terrible example to set for a young child, promoting an industry that electrocutes animals, snaps their necks and skins them alive.”
“There is nothing feminine about inserting an electrode into the anus of a terrified and struggling fox and then electrocuting it.”
“Ms. Paltrow is an actress - and seemingly a particularly stupid one at that.”
Here is my take on this… PETA stands for a really good cause. But there execution (no pub intended) is really messed up. They need to stop going around acting like the Pet Protection Nazi’s.
On the other hand, Gwyneth should’ve known better. She’s a vegan and has a huge reputation against animal cruelty. She should’ve known PETA would attack her for this. It’s really sad. She’s apparently lost some friends over this fiasco, including Moby and Stella McCartney.
Hopefully this doesn’t really get out of hand. I’m sure she’ll agree to do a PSA (Public Service Announcement) for PETA like Martha Stewart did, and then she’ll regain her reputation. This sounds really rediculous. It’s almost more rediculous than politics.
