Jennifer Lopez Irritates PETA

Singer Jennifer Lopez irritated PETA once again, after she revealed she's eating from KFC after every concert, because, as she claims, they are offering "free cakes".

The Diva has been recently targeted by the People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) for using fur in her latest clothes collection, Sweetface, and for wearing mink eyelashes in her latest music video, "Hold You Down", a protest led by Paul McCartney's wife, Heather Mills McCartney.

And now, according to late reports, the singer annoyed PETA again with her affirmations, because the animal rights group targeted KFC as well, for their cruel treatments on animals.

A PETA spokesperson fumed: "Is there not an ounce of compassion in this woman? It's no surprise that J.Lo would eat KFC."

Earlier this year, PETA teamed up with Pamela Anderson to boycott the fast food company, presenting a five-minute video about the mistreatment of chickens.

Anderson said at the time: "I'm asking people to boycott KFC until the company demands that its suppliers stop crippling chickens and scalding them alive. No animals should have to suffer this way, whether they're cats or dogs or chickens."

Jennifer Lopez is a disgrace. She is a disgusting influence on her fans, brainwashing them into thinking the torture and brutal and pointless murders of hundreds of innocent creatures is acceptable in 2008.
What kind of an iconic figure still supports this caveman practice when there are so many much better and more glamourous looking alternatives? All creatures, humans and animals are equal, no life is more important than another and it is only deludedly arrogant people who hold themselves above other animals. Jennifer Lopez - get over yourself you uneducated, selfish and careless woman, give up the Mink, the Chinchilla and the Foxes. Imagine them kidnapping and skinning your babies. Say no to fur and say no to murder and suffering. Peace x

Well as far as I am concerned PETA is the disgrace. They are the biggest bunch of hypocrites. They would rather see a human being die over an animal for any kind of animal testing. These reprehensible human beings are usually pro choice and the advocates of the murder of unborn children. But there is always an excuse for that, huh? Also what about consumer goods from China? China is the single largest abuser of animals in the world. Huh PITA? Do you buy consumer goods from China and support the animal abuse that takes place there just to save a few bucks? I'll bet that's okay, isn't it slimeballs.

I'm hungry for some KFC right now...in either case the argument about "imagine kidnapping and skinning babies" is stupid, why would anyone want to do that to their OWN kind, and why would anyone want to skin babies in the first place? Human skin is not really that durable.

I'm against the animal fur trade because it's not really a living essential, meat however is. Most vegetarians lack a good source of protein, it's also vital for body building and strength. Humans are also animals like chimpanzees, lions, tigers, etc. that have eyes situated at the front, and one thing common is that the eyes are situated at the front, herbivores have eyes situated at the side.

What is all this rubbish about all life is equal, don't animals kill each other for food? Sometimes in more questionable methods, such as the mongoose smashing a snake's head open. I suppose we must impose eating regulations for mongoose as well.

If you want to bitch about something bitch about all those people living on less than $1 a day on the other side of the world and do something to relieve their suffering. Let's celebrate life by donating a big bucket of KFC chicken to the nearest homeless shelter (have some yourself too)
