To the rest of the comments: I completely agree with those of you who say though you like her music, wearing of fur is completely optional and for someone with so much money, she has other options. Fur is a very, very cruel trade. Bitches such as MJ Blige, Demi Moore, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Lopex- you are all fur whores!!

Most of the fur in the West gets imported from China where labour is cheap. Now this is where the problem lies:

1.) China has no animal welfare laws whatsoever.
2.) Among animals such as foxes, raccoons and mink, they also skin dogs and cats alive. Yes, you heard me right. They skin them alive! You may think it’s an urban legend, but it is completely true. Just Google ‘chinese fur trade’ and you’ll see for yourself.
3.) The dog and cat fur is marketed to the West as faux fur/rabbit fur/fur with exotic sounding names. Dog/cat fur is easy to dye different colors to resemble other fur.
You might be wearing a coat that contains dog fur and not even be aware of it.
4.) The barbaric Chinese fur industry is going strong as we speak and it won’t stop until people STOP BUYING FUR.
6.) China skins up to 2 million dogs and cats every year.
7.)China is the biggest exporter of fur globally.

And if you still don’t believe me, just watch this footage:

And another thing, the above video is not an isolated case and is not Peta propaganda. For more viewing material you can buy the dvd called EARTHLINGS.

The reason why these animals don’t get killed humanely by shooting it in the head/slitting its throat is because it would ruin the fur and therefore the pelts would fetch a much lower price. The reason why they don’t humanely give them a lethal injection is because the costs of doing this to so many animals would be too expensive. Remember that it takes up to 65 minks to make one fur coat.

and whatever else your 10th grade-educated brains (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here) can come up with.

There’s something pathetically “sick” about a human being–black, white, or green–that has to feel important or worthy by wearing the skin of a once “living, breathing, feeling other “being”. Watch how they kill and skin animals in China–www.furkills.org. China produces the largest number of furs in the world and this a country that routinely “executes” its own people for being dissidents. The same “wonderful” country we chose to host the Olympics. Mindless!
If they don’t give a #$ck about their own people, they’re certainly not going to bat a slanted eyelash at a screaming -n-agony, still conscious dog or cat they’re ripping the skin from so lovely little washed-up hags like Mary J and Patti La”bitch” can make themselves feel good wearing fur.

They disgust me to no end and truly are a disgrace to the African American Race. Martin Luther King Jr. would roll over in his grave if he knew these “sisters” had so little mercy and respect for other living beings. He was a kind, compassionate man that didn’t need “outer” materials to make the “inner” man shine like the brightest star in the sky!

“Our lives begin to end when we remain silent about things that matter.” This matters to many of us and we WILL shame you for what you do!

All to make these belovered coats these diva’s wear.

Like the person above wrote, it takes alot of money to look
that cheap and trashy

I cant stand bitches who wear fur for fashion,
I own chinchilla’s, and it makes me cry when I see
skanky celebrities wearing fur coats.

They think they look classy, they look like corner street hookers
before they buy these coats, they should be made watch a video how these poor animals are captured skinned to make the coats.

No money in the world can make you look as trashy as these 2 sluts in this pic.

Are you retarded?

She can afford a fake status symbol that doesn’t represent being affluent. A fur coat was a symbol of this in the 40’s or 50’s … not now.

But she cannot afford a heart or compassion. It could be from a tuff childhood and upbringing..
