I can’t tell if this is a PETA event, or a drag show? The tags on the pics assure me that this is, indeed, a PETA event held at a club called ‘Last Days of Decadence”. A PETA event with a liberal sprinkle of drag mixed in. They managed to tie it all together with the “Fur is a Drag” banner at the end. I love drag shows (the lashes, the sequins, the lights!), and I love animals. I just never thought of mixing the two together.
I don’t mean to bitch or anything but um…how is wandering about looking dazed in paint splattered fur, bad wigs, and outrageous fab-u-lous make up helping animals again? I understand that the fur has been symbollically ruined, but they’re still wearing it and it’s still fur….
Perhaps someone could explain it to me.
It bothers me when they paint splatter fur coats… it’s the completely WRONG way to tackle the issue. Rather than doing something real about it, they just destroy pieces that are already made. They’re not making a statement about it by ruining what’s been done. The idea is that it will prevent the manufacture of fur coats and raise awareness by ‘making headlines’ but it’s just so radical and impractical. They should just emphasize the fact that fur coats are hideous fashion wise and appeal to people that way. Splattering paint just makes them look like psychos (which they are) and is a hardcore waste of paint (from an artists perspective, that is a horrible sin.)
I don’t know maybe you guys don’t agree with me but ehhh i just think it’s dumb
I’m vegan and don’t support peta at all, and you hit it right on the mark.
Radical demonstrations and destruction of already made (and killled) fur does nothing to solve the problem, it furthers it.
I think he is supposed to be Christina Aguilera! LOL.
Oh my god it looks just like her! lets see, make sure everything is fake, then put on a real fur!! yeah that’s her that’s Christina Aguilera!
PETA are a bunch of idiots with no actual plan to help animals. I mean, pick your battles, dudes. It’s impossible to take that organization seriously.
Someone has got to shut Peta down.
I have had enough of their crap.

oh and for those that support Peta, I highly recommend you watch Penn and Tellers: Bullsh*t episode on them.
I usually find that people who post that petakillsanimals site and reference Penn and Teller (who also think that recycling is a waste of time and some kind of conspiracy, by the way) repeatedly just use it as excuse to ignore the entire animal rights movement.
Sure, PETA sucks. That’s why you can support Compassion Over Killing or Farm Sanctuary or Vegan Outreach or Mercy for Animals or any of the other millions of small grassroots groups around the world.
Yeah, this is stupid. Aren’t they “glamourizing” fur? Also, destroying the fur that’s already out there just creates demand for new, no?
how funny would it be if “painted” fur became a trend? What a lovely FU to crazy peta that would be.
it’s very punk rock!
i personally think this works.
when i stumbled across that first photo, i was mid bit of cereal, and almost puked up my frosted flakes.
true they ruined a coat that is already made, but A) it prevents someone from wearing that coat in the future and promoting the fashion statement, and B) the point out what fur jackets are, dead animal skins and that ”blood” really puts the visual image in your head. mine at least.
im vegetarian, and this simple photo reminds me of exacly why i have no desire to eat cute furry animals.
barf.
They may have ruined the coat and prevented the person from wearing it again…but it creates a need for the person who was wearing it to go and buy another…creating a reason for more animals to be killed.
I guarantee you at least one of those bitches took the coat home with them after the show and rolled around naked in its luxurious softness. These clowns make me want to wear fur.
^ ew. no one wants to c paris or u roll around naked on anything.
PETA is such a joke. Ugh.
What’s wrong with wearing fur? Fake fur is made of petroleum based materials that don’t degrade, damage the environment and lead to global warming which kills far more animals that a fur farm. Why not focus on humane methods of culling instead of attacking people with paintballs?
I can see why you would think that initially, but unfortunately it isn’t true.
Fur is less environmentally friendly than even the fake stuff, partly because you have to treat it with so many chemicals to keep it from rotting and falling right off your back, as it would in nature. It’s also not so environmentally friendly to raise tons of tons of animals for fur. (You know how the United Nations says that raising animals for food is the number one cause of global warming? Yeah, same sort of thing.)
They did a study at U of Michigan that shows that it takes something like 20 times more energy to create a real fur garment than a fake one:

Can she please just go away? I mean, shouldn’t she be investing her fifteen minutes of fame in a bond fund somewhere? she is a bad joke told by Charro or some other star from VH1 classic in twenty years?
I thought that wa Nicollette Sheridian. She always looked a little manly to me!
Let someone do that to one of my wife’s fur coats and they will get F_cked UP!!!!
