Kelis Is Peta’s Dumb Animal Of the Month: Ingrid Newkirk’s Letter
PETA and Kelis has been exchanging views. Kelis has taken to wearing a badger on her head. And Peta – self-appointed spokespersons for dumb animals – is outraged. She writes to Peta’s supremo Ingrid Newkirk – she who told us:
There was nothing I loved more than my fur jacket. In my 20s, I was eating my way through the animal kingdom, and what I didn’t eat I wore.
Kelis writes a letter, and becomes Peta’s Dumb Animal Of The Month:
There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life.
With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious.
Hold that thought for later.
And after doing a very minimal amount of research……. I found out that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane! Lol this chicks will is nuts, google it – it’s a riot!
Beyond the fact that I think she’s a diabetic, which means she needs insulin, which is taken from lab pigs (I know this because my sister happens to be in veterinary school), which would be completely hypocritical. It’s like don’t abuse animals unless it can help me.
Think? It’s a fact. Says Newkirk
“I’m an insulin-dependent diabetic. Twice a day I take synthetically manufactured insulin that still contains some animal products — and I have no qualms about it … I’m not going to take the chance of killing myself by not taking insulin. I don’t see myself as a hypocrite. I need my life to fight for the rights of animals.”
Newkirk also told us:
“Let me set the record straight. PETA does not condone or commit violent acts, nor do we threaten anybody with violence” –Deseret News, February 12, 2002
Adding:
“If I had more guts, I’d light a match.” —The Chronicle of Higher Education, November 12, 1999
They die not in vain, Kelis:
I feel very strongly about a lot of things such as the sweatshops that spin cotton and the blood on their hands. Btw it’s not just the look of fur. It’s warm as hell and feels glorious, ever rubbed faux fur on your body? Nothing luxurious about that. Then the letter proceeded to name artist and designers who don’t wear real fur. Great! More for me! I don’t judge them, don’t judge me.
But you are judging Newkirk, who is “certifiably insane”.
If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me. (Which btw for the record I would not – I do believe in the preservation of endangered species) But the minks and chinchilla that quite honestly are rodents and if weren’t in the form of a coat I would demand they be put to death anyway are not an issue to me.
Are pterodachtyl’s endangered?
The death of high fashion. Ugh.
I eat meat, and in fact my mouth salivates as I type the word meat! And the paint throwing that’s just ridiculous! What if I was hurling Loubitons and Pierre Hardy’s at every sad poorly dressed person on the street?
They’d hate you. They want Christian Louboutin’s and they want them now.
As right as I may be it’s just fanatical and crazy. And people have the right to feel as they please. What about art? Survival of the fittest. Natural selection? No let’s just let all the rodents run free and over take our cities. Oh wait they have, NY and LA in particular are infested!
See picture.
Why don’t u save them all from scavenging on the streets and ruining my evening strolls, take them home. Make them pets! Get off my back! Pun intended!
Kelis takes strolls – in Loubitons and Giorgio Ferrari slacks?
Underpaid minorities picking your vegetables, now that’s fine for you right? Please, fight for their rights. How about the poverty in the communities of brown people around the world.
Never wear brown in town, says old Mr Anorak. It’s fashion sense.
She had the nerve to say (and I quote) “get over it” talking of the issue of black people and slavery in this country verses cows being slaughtered. Is she kidding me? Lol yes she must be. Actually, she’s lucky most black people have real issues to worry about in the U.S and don’t give a crap what her delusional privileged opinions are. But she should try saying that again just for kicks n giggles on the corner of Adam Clayton Powell Blvd in Harlem n see how well people “get over it” lol.
Kelis doesn’t live there either.
If u want to preach do it about something worthwhile don’t waste my time trying to save the dang chipmunk.
Don’t waste your time – which could be better spent writing a letter to Peta about wasting your time?
Find a worthwhile cause like the women being maimed in these Middle Eastern countries. Or female circumcision. Or women’s rights here in America, we still get paid less for doing the same jobs as men.
Over to you, Kelis.
Quite honestly if you hate the world so much go live in the forest where no one else has to hear you complain about the perfectly good food chain the good Lord created. Everyone has the right to an opinion, and that’s mine on that! Xoxo
Pete will lap that up like a mink drinking your pet cat’s blood…
