PETA to protest Catherine Zeta-Jones outside of the Walter Kerr theater... — Page 4

" lJay's post was pretty amusing."

Thanks, hun.
I'm a huge animal lover, I didn't mean any harm.

It's the wearing of fur, period.

I used to be a vegetarian. I used to be a member of PETA. While neither of those things are true for me any more, I still think that animals - even those who wind up on people's plates - should be treated humanely.

Now, the PETA member quoted in the article is an individual dork. No, what the circus does to elephants isn't traumatizing little kids, YOU dressing up like a bloody animal and showing up outside their school is doing that. And also encouraging people like Roxy to get all up in arms and say "How DARE you try to stop my god-given right to go to this circus and I'M GONNA EAT STEAK TOO HA HA HA HA!!!"

In other words, for every PETA a-hole, there is an equal and opposite reactionary a-hole

I just had to recopy all that, because it's all spot on. Although, my personal experience has shown me that there are more douchebags in the Roxy camp than there are in the animal rights camp. Many people seem really personally affronted when confronted with someone who doesn't eat meat, even if the person who doesn't eat meat isn't making an issue out of it.

PETA goes out and does sh*t; the dude in your office eaten tofu cheese probably just wants to eat his lunch and be the left the eff alone.

doesn't PETA have anything better to do with their lives then be obsessed with what CZJ does or does not wear. REALLY.

But convincing Zeta-Jones to stop wearing fur (which essentially they're wanting her to do) won't stop the fur business from thriving. It just seems like a waste of time and a publicity stunt that won't cause any world change. If she gave up fur would any animals go unharmed by her decision not to purchase fur? Unless she has her own pelting farm, doubtful. Nothing will come of their protest that will makes the lives of animals safer or happier.

Has anyone noteworthy that they've gone after for wearing fur ever stopped and joined PETA as a spokesperson?

In this celebrity-obsessed age we live in, the best way to get anybody to pay attention to anything is by displaying them in PEOPLE magazine or some other pedestrian media outlet. For some reason, people actually *care* what Catherine Zeta-Jones wears. And PEOPLE magazine wants to snap photos of her. So it's only logical that an organization like PETA would make her a target.

I find it deplorable when someone wears real fur. But it's even more disgusting when the person wearing it is in the cold for a couple of minutes tops, walking about 10 feet from a warm theatre to a warm limo. (I know she signs a few autographs, which is why I gave her a "couple of minutes' to span those 10 feet instead of 15 seconds. Still...big deal. It's not like she lives in the Northernmost regions of Canada where the temperature drops to -80 degrees plus wind chill factor!)

It's like Raum Emmanuel making his "f***ing retard" comment. National disabilities rights groups called him on it, and then he apologized and became a "spokesperson" for eliminating common usage of the word. It's good for the cause.

Oh, and PS - Roxy is all aghast about what TheatreFan said, when HE was talking about her being naked? And THEN he started talking about beaver! Jeesh!

It's the old "It's okay for ME to talk about my beaver, but it's not okay for YOU to respond to it!" argument.

Hey, allergies are nothing to laugh at!

Speaking of beavers...

do you think his mitt is made of REAL pig skin?

---

He was such a cute kid!

Well, Phyllis, there is nothing more to say! xo
