Paul McCartney Attacks Animal Fur Wearing Celebs
by Scott Colothan on 8/5/2005

Sir Paul McCartney has slammed stars such as P Diddy and J Lo for wearing coats made from animal fur.

The Beatles legend has urged such pop stars to watch videos showing the barbaric treatment of animals before buying their coats.

The comments come on the 25th anniversary of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which highlights the suffering animals go through.

As contactmusic reports Macca said: "I understand all too well the attraction of, when you first earn money, wanting to show off.

“You want the most ridiculous furs, you want chinchilla dripping off you, you want jewellery. The trouble is, the difference between fur and jewellery is fur hurts someone.

“What PETA and I want to say to them is, 'Look at these videos, because you are going to see electrocution, you're going to see animals with their throats slit, and you are taking a beautiful animal's coat.'"

As much as I love Paul I do not agree with his "tree hugger" opinions. I am still going to have my steaks! Yum!

I don't care if people eat meat. I, personally, choose not to- but I'm not going to get pissed if you eat it. The majority of the world does.

Yet... I hate people wearing furs. It's horrible.

Hollow · 08-05-2005, 08:49 PM

i don't eat meat often either, but just because i don't like it.

I wonder if Sir Paulie is a big fan of Randall Blythe, the lead singer of Lamb of God, who shows the best way to barbecue in the latest issue of Revolver. Steaks--now THEM'S good eatin'!!

I just bought some Albertson's fried chicken for my Saturday supervisor at work tomorrow. She says that chicken is her comfort food!

As Homer and Bart sang on the Simpsons, YOU DON'T MAKE FRIENDS WITH SALAD!! YOU DON'T FRIENDS WITH SALAD!!
