PETA again, and not a Leg to
Stand on
This
is fur real: Paul McCartney's wife wishes the world would feel sympathy for her
because her prosthetic leg came off during a fight she started on behalf of
another PETA anti-fur demonstration. Then the people she was brawling with
(security guards at Jennifer Lopez' New York office), wouldn't let her into the
office to use the ladies' room. Perhaps they felt that since she wasn't acting
as a lady should, that she didn't deserve to be admitted to those private
premises. Instead, the guards called police and she was forced to repair herself
somewhere in a stairwell. The guards had given her back the leg, and perhaps she
re-attached it to herself there. In our opinion, they were most chivalrous,
given the circumstances. They could have kept it as evidence of her assault on
them as they defended Ms. Lopez' property.

Members of the fur industry have commented that
Mrs. McCartney appeared to have been looking for media attention, yet when she
achieved her goal, she wasn't pleased with the result. McCartney had reportedly
charged across the street and into the office building along with other PETA
supporters, according to the "Daily Dish" column of the New York Daily
News. The melee was allegedly planned to be a confrontation with Jennifer Lopez,
who was not present. Those who attempted their "break in" were
claiming that they wished to present Lopez with a DVD tape that they claimed was
footage of animals being skinned alive, another hokey attempt to raise
credibility for themselves as they object to the use of fur by anyone,
especially if that anyone should be a celebrity. |
Jennifer Lopez supports the use of fur and
wears furs herself, therefore she has become a celebrity target of PETA's
continual boring harangue against the fur industry. The allegations about
furbearers being skinned alive are part of the "act" which the nutsy
group commonly puts on, hoping that someone, anyone in big city media will join
the party and take their pictures. McCartney reportedly claimed that she will
now take her protest to Ms Lopez' home, where she will once again, attempt to
force the lady to take the tricked up DVD. We wonder why any media, having
received such an invitation, would take the bait and attend such a planned
event. Ms. Lopez should obtain a restraining order against McCartney and all her
nutcase colleagues.
IWMC applauds Jennifer Lopez for not caving in
to pressure from these craven individuals, who have a documented history of not
demonstrating compassion for animals. (Do not forget that PETA employees are
very shortly going to be tried for illegally killing vans full of domestic pets
and throwing their carcasses into mall dumpsters, instead of sheltering them and
finding them homes, as they had promised.)
And now they want sympathy for their anti-fur
cause and for their celebrity co-conspirator, who just happens to be disabled,
yet whose "cause" is devoid of support. We advise Mrs. McCartney to
find some competent counseling, a cause with some real justification, and a
better leg to support her in days to come.
