The animal rights group PETA attacked pop princess Britney Spears yesterday for using captive elephants in her “Circus” music video, OK! Magazine reports.
In a blog on the group’s website, PETA’s Christine Doré does not only call Britney an “outrageous” and “toxic” mess, she also writes the following about the pop star:
“As Britney is such a victim of the paparazzi and always complaining and crying about how she hates to be held up in her guarded house and can’t feel free, she of all people should be able to relate to the horror that captive animals go through when they’re used for entertainment. Except when Britney chooses to perform, and the lifestyle just comes with it. Animals are ripped away from their mothers at a young age, kept in chaines and prodded with electric shock devices to make them perform. That doesn’t sound so voluntary to me.”
What do you think? Does PETA have a point or has the animal rights organization gone too far this time?
PETA has been out of control for some time now! That organization should focus more on actually helping poor, helpless animals and less on trying to get the media’s attention by saying and writing really outrageous things.
Angry Ingrid says it best. PETA are media whores. self admitted. Whatever it takes, no matter who it hurts,they are quite willing to sacrifice the feelings of children, or lie to anyone, to achieve an end.
THe problem I think is that at this point, they’ve lost sight of what they wanted to achieve and have become far more heinous to most people, than the animal abusers that they protest, due to their tactics.
The attack on diabetic children, where they told them that drinking milk was what gave them diabetes, is where I personally stepped away.. After researching it with the Juvenile diabetes foundation and finding that they lied.. and were causing some real emotional trauma to 5 and 6 year old kids, who thought it was their fault they had this disease for drinking milk.. I think any sentient being knows its time to cut ties with that.
they have gone 2 far this time the peta just needs 2 think about helpless animals that are hurt or dying and not britney spears
