What the Hell is wrong with PETA?!!

What the Hell is wrong with PETA?!!

I just read via The Mail online that Peta, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is slaughtering animals, WTF?! Paul McCartney, as you know, is a staunch supporter of PETA.
Isn't there anyway to socialize these poor abandoned animals, without killing them? This story pissess me off.

"A PETA spokesman said the charity took in more than 10,000 dogs and cats in 2008 and.

most of those that were put down could hardly be called pets. 'They were unsocialised, never having been inside a building of any kind or known a pat on the head'.

PETA, better come out with some type of explanation. I cannot comment any further...

London , Dec 29 (ANI):
Fashion designer Stella McCartney has been honoured as the Person of the Year by animal rights charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA.

The daughter of former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney refuses to use fur or leather in her collections.
“Stella McCartney proves you can have a look that kills without killing,” the Daily Snack quoted Peta’s US senior vice-president Dan Mathews, as saying.
The 36-year-old designer acquired her animal loving instincts from her late mum, Linda.
Stellas hardcore campaigns include challenging British Airways to remove leather seats from their first-class cabins, and launching an anti-fur campaign in online world Second Life in 2007.
“I consider sitting on a poor cow’s skin a throwback to earlier, harder times - not a luxury, she said. (ANI)

Mcartneys boycott cancer charities testing on animals

LATEST: SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY

has been praised by animal rights group PETA after announcing plans to boycott cancer charities who test on animals. The multi-millionaire former Beatle has supported cancer charities since his first wife Linda died of the disease in 1998.

But on Monday (16Jul07) he revealed plans to refuse funding to organisations that practice vivisection, after discovering a number of charities close to his heart advocate the practice.

The vegan rocker said, "When Linda died I said I would support cancer charities. Animal rights groups wrote to me pointing out that many were heavily into vivisection - and it's true. A doctor we knew out in America just admitted it as a matter of fact, innocently, like 'Well, sure we do.' "What he doesn't realise is that he won't get a donation out of me for that very fact. There are better alternatives but you're not allowed to challenge the status quo."

His decision has been applauded by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Alistair Currie - Senior Research and Campaigns Co-ordinator - says, “Animal testing charities don't just miss out on big money; they miss out on medical progress. Animals are not furry little humans and their bodies cannot reliably predict results for human conditions. While we know a great deal about cancer in mice, we don't know anywhere near enough about cancer in humans.

Thankfully, there are plenty of charities that go for the triple win: they don't cause animal suffering; they do support modern non-animal research that increases the chance of finding cures for humans; and they get the money of smart, compassionate donors.”

Fashion Fab report: A virtual anti-fur protest

: A virtual anti-fur protest

Fashion Columnist Posted July 8 2007

note;
I have posted earlier this week in reguards to Stella McCartny's Animal Camp.
here are some updates

Have you always wanted to protest for animal rights but just didn't have the time to schlep around in the great outdoors carrying a big ol' sign?Do it online instead. Oh-so-hip designer Stella McCartney has teamed up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for the first global virtual anti-fur protest.
Beginning Thursday animal rights supporters can log onto SecondLife.com — where users interact with each other in a virtual world — and join in on the activities staged on an "island."The island will feature stables, horse jumps, a lake, picnic tables, tree houses, Linda McCartney mini-veggie-burger stalls and a "live" DJ booth.Visitors will receive a goodie bag of anti-fur accessories, be invited to come up with the best anti-fur slogan and asked to wear a virtual T-shirt emblazoned with the motto, "I'd rather be pixelated than wear fur

.""Sometimes it's nice to have a bit of humor on serious subjects," McCartney said in a press release. The designer will choose the winning slogans with the first prize being two tickets to her spring-summer show in Paris this October; second prize is a faux-Appaloosa bag and third prize a full set of Care by Stella McCartney (her organic skin care line).

The event will last until July 29th."We are always looking for new ways to raise awareness about the extreme suffering that animals endure on fur farms and in cruel steel-jaw traps in the world," said
PETA prez Ingrid E. Newkirk. "So when Stella came up with this idea, we were on board from the beginning. Stella's Second Life fur protest is a lighthearted way to draw attention to a very serious issue."

If you're pregnant but still want to look like a rock star, check out Rock Star Momma (Atria Books, $17.95) where author Skye Hoppus gives you hints on how to remain chic even when avec petit enfant.She should know what she's talking about. After all, not only is she the wife of former blink-182 frontman Mark Hoppus and the mother of their 4-year-old son Jack, but she's also the designer of a maternity and children's line called Childish Clothing.Many of Hoppus' celeb pals (she worked for MTV for a decade) — like Britney Spears, Heidi Klum, Kimora Lee Simmons and Gwyneth Paltrow — have essays and helpful hints throughout the book.

Here are 10 tips

:1. Buy as many men's T-shirts as you can. The extra length covers most bellies ... inexpensively.

2. Tunics are great for layering under jackets and vests

.3. Skip the horizontal stripes, but diagonal and vertical are fine

.4. Maternity jeans now come in more fashionable styles, but make sure there's at least two to eight percent Lycra or spandex to ensure that your jeans will "grow" with you. Darker rinses in a soft-washed denim are also more flattering. Look for jeans with larger back pockets that are proportionally placed in the center of each cheek (too high or too small makes your butt look larger).

5. Flattering skirts include A-lines and tiered styles. When in doubt about length, go for just below the knee so the hem hits at the narrowest part of the leg.

6. Track suits are a must-have. Make sure you wear the pants low on the hips (very slimming) and always go for bold, bright colors (mix and match).

7. Mundies (maternity undies) are the way to go. Your old underwear will cut off your circulation like a tourniquet. Elle MacPherson Intimates, Mama Spanx, La Mere and Maternelle all have sexy undergarments. Bras should have thick straps, wide underbands and avoid seamed cups. Consider sleeping in a jogging bra. Seamless bikinis, thong panties, lace-trimmed boy shorts — in cotton — will help you avoid the dreaded fashion killer: panty lines.

8. Going out? Gwyneth Paltrow suggests a kimono worn with stretchy pants. Bejeweled kitten heels are glam and comfy. Show off your new decolletage with ruching and ruffles around the neckline (never too plunging) in halter dresses, A-line skirts paired with stretch-lace camisole tops or a classic jersey wrap dress. Empire silhouettes are very flattering and all the rage with designers.

9. In the hospital you might want to pack drawstring pajama or beach pants. There are also some maternity track suits with built-in bras for easy-access breast-feeding after delivery. A black nightgown (things get messy) is the best choice. This also means no G-strings; pack dark-hued, cotton "granny panties."

10. In everything you do, keep the prints and patterns small and delicate (to avoid parade float comparisons).
