I’m not a fan of PETA. Even though they do fun things sometimes like throw flour on Kim Kardashian, I can’t really get behind them. I love animals, but I don’t love PETA, and I know that many of us feel the same way.
But this isn’t just about PETA. This is about PETA and their new hate for Lady Gaga that was formed by her new love of wearing fur coats.
From PETA’s website:
Lady Gaga has plenty of fans—especially in the gay community, which she has embraced so fervently. Gay Gaga fans at PETA loved her all the more when she came out against fur, telling Ellen DeGeneres, “I hate fur and I don’t wear fur.” But recent furry Gaga photos show that the Lady may be a turncoat. So PETA VP Dan Mathews has written to Gaga to find out if she’s become a “Judas” to animals:
Dear Gaga,
Many of your gay fans, I among them, have long admired what you told Ellen: “I hate fur and I don’t wear fur.” I included a link because these recent photos of you in fox and rabbit and with a wolf carcass make it appear that you have amnesia. I’m also including this brief video hosted by Tim Gunn showing the violent cruelty that you promote when you wear fur. What happened? Are your stylists telling you that it’s fake, or are you a turncoat? 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.
We await your reply.
Sincerely,
Dan Mathews
Senior Vice President
PETA
I agree very strongly with two of the sentiments expressed up there. One, Lady Gaga has been open about her dislike of fur in the past, so it’s pretty silly that she’s wearing so many fur coats now. Two, “by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you’re making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian” is pretty spot on. It’s so hot outside, Gaga. You look so stupid.
It looks moth-eaten.. not soft and silky.. see, spikes and unsightly tuffs.. no sheen.. and appears as if older.. smells less than fresh.. groaty for a real high grade fur coat..
It’s fake fur. Confirmed by Hermes. Look it up, EBG.
Also, haven’t we all just reached the consensus she can wear whatever she wants? For all we know, she went out like this to shoo the haters off.
If she came out and publicly stated she was against fur, then wore it, she would be a hypocrite. That’s the biggest part of the issue here, I think. Well, and wearing fur.
I’m happy to hear it’s faux fur though. She should have just responded “I stand by what I said, and no this is not real fur”.
I was just going to say that it’s faux fur. It’s a very nice faux fur, too.
dee cee. That coat is MILES away from looking moth eaten. You obviously don’t know your fur, real or faux. And just what the fuck does “groaty” mean?

It’s irrelevant if it’s fake or real, she’s courting the controversy by herself refusing to comment on it. Fact is, the daft bitch stopped being relevant(assuming she ever was) a year ago. Her ‘fame’ is increasingly waning and less and less people give a flying fuck about her.
So during a heatwave, she goes out in furs then writes long, protracted statements about why?
Just dress up like a dude again, Gaga, or dig out those undies with the fake dick on the front that made us all think you’re a dude, or fellate a crucifix or something. If you’re so desperate for attention.
