Lady Gaga is PETA's Newest Celebrity Target

Lady Gaga is PETA’s newest celebrity target, after the singer was spotted shopping in an admittedly fabulous (though woefully out of season) pink mink coat. Gaga previously told Ellen DeGeneres that she doesn’t wear fur, yet these recent photographs prove the opposite. PETA senior vice president Dan Matthews wrote a letter to the pop star, slamming her for her hypocrisy: “What happened? Are your stylists telling you that it’s fake, or are you a turncoat?,” Matthews writes. “Many gays are animal advocates because we recognize that the same arrogance and indifference that some have toward animal suffering has at times been directed toward us personally because of our orientation. PETA has long participated in Pride events around the country, and just last week, we helped lead protests against Chick-fil-A. But by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you’re making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian. As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose.” Do you think Gaga owes PETA an explanation?
