Karl Lagerfeld Is Peta’s Dumb Animal Of The Month
KARL Lagerfeld eats mink, ermine and foxes. He once made badger lolly and dipped it into a chocolate lab. Says he:
“In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.”
Fur is by product of the British sausage industry. So are fat pople:
“There are nearly 30 per cent of young people who are too fat. So let’s take care of the zillions of the too fat before we talk about the percentage that’s left.
Can you be too fat, and if you are what are you too fat for, a dress?
The government’s work is being supported by a wide-ranging media coalition organised through the Advertising Association.
PepsiCo, which owns Pepsi, Walkers and Tropicana, will run an ad campaign to promote the benefits of “active play” featuring well-known sportsmen and women.
Oh, the irony!
Meanwhile, the dumb animals are speaking. A spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) respodns as one of Pavlov’s dogs wold to poke in the eye with a syringe full of foundation:
“Karl Lagerfeld is a fashion dinosaur who is as out of step as his furs are out of style.
“The vast majority of fur these days comes not from hunters as he suggests, but from Chinese fur farms, where no law protects the millions of animals who are routinely beaten and skinned alive.
“Lagerfeld’s childish refusal to acknowledge the needless suffering behind every piece of fur and listen to public opinion means that he is being overtaken in the style stakes by an increasing number of designers who believe that cruelty has no place in fashion.”
Sausages!
