Brooke Shields Basically Spits in PETA’s Face
Looks like the fur’s about to fly again in the animal-rights debate.
Brooke Shields has decided to join Team Fur in a big-time way, designing her own signature fur coat at the Kopenhagen Fur Studio. Because, apparently, it’s been a childhood dream of hers. And she really likes fur. Like, really, really, likes fur.
While discussing the design, Shields gushed,
“Wearing fur may be associated with something grandmotherish. Something you wear when you visit the opera, or if you are a rock star and wear it inside out. But I will advocate that both my generation and the younger generation can wear fur. I will wear the fur garment when I follow my children to school, when I drink coffee and when I sleep.”
Wow; she sleeps in fur? Now that’s devotion. Never mind that popping sound you just heard; it’s just PETA president Ingrid Newkirk‘s head exploding in a burst of critter-loving fury.

It’s because of people like her we can’t change our ways…i don’t have that much of a problem with the people who eat meat but the ones who wear it…i would love to throw a tomato at her.
they kill innocent animals because of her,maybe they should kill her children to see how that feels,stupid bitch
Brooke Shields reveals herself to be a shallow, cruel person. I have watched the Peta undercover fur videos showing the animals being skinned alive for their fur. I will never understand how anyone could intentionally hurt an animal as they are so innocent and beautiful and so deserving of our total love and respect. Shame on Brooke Shields, may she reap what she sows.
How hard is it for all these people to buy FAKE fur, its cheaper, its looks just as nice and its comes guilt free!! Shame on her.

The reason people can wear fur is because aniamls are NOT skinned alive. In Americ 95% of all fur farms participate in a program developed by the American Veterinary Medical Association to ensure humane and eithical standards. Canada and Scandinavnain nations have even tougher standards. Most full fur coats are only manufactured in China, but the fur is raised in America, Canada, or Scandinavia. Read the label in the garment.
If the KKK put out a video about the NAACP would you swallow it without any critical questioning? The answer is obvious, so why do you accept PeTA’s videos without any critical questioning? Watching a video from a group with an agenda does not make you an expert or even vaugely knowledgable about what really happens on fur farms.
Good for Brooke Shields! Don’t let the animal rights Taliban-hypocrites and their lies intimidate you.
PETA or not, it only takes common sense to realize you are wearing the skin and fur of a dead animal. Disgusting! This is a trend that needs to die, NOT the animals.
how could you possibly walk around with a dead animals skin on your body! repulsive.

uhm what “lies” are they telling. I dont understand why you would encourage someone to keep killing animals for an accessorie.
you people are such hypocrites. you say how can you wear a dead animal, how can you eat a dead animal, lather it with sauce and put it on a burger, or cut its flesh off and put it in a pan withsome salt and pepper and feel good about yourself. its just the same. So would wearing the hide of a cow from which your burger came from be just as bad as eating that same animal? Freakshows!
Stop forming opinions without understanding the true backgorund of the fur industry. The propaganda that peta spreads is obviously not a true representation of the rest of the industry so get your facts straight.

Let’s start with the “skinning alive” claim. On AVMA fur farms here in America, what is the prescribed method for euthanization by the AVMA for large animals and small animals?
