Beyonce Knowles Carter can't catch a break following her Inauguration lip sync disaster. Now PeTA is attacking the pop star over her choice to wear fur for the 2013 Presidential Inauguration.
Animal rights activists have fired off a letter toBeyonce urging her to quit wearing fur after she donned a mink coat to U.S. President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony on Monday (21Jan13).
The superstar rocked a long black Christian Dior garment to the Obama's swearing-in, where she wowed a crowd of more than 500,000 people with a rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner.
An additional 20.6 million viewers around the globe tuned in for the event, and now Beyonce has been hit with backlash for not choosing a more appropriate outfit for the occasion.
An open letter from Friends of Animals director Edita Birnkrant reads, "People worldwide heard and watched your appearance at President Obama's second inauguration ceremony.
Friends of Animals' members and supporters were among the millions who saw, or will see images of, you in a Christian Dior mink coat. What does it mean when one of the most popular musicians in the world endorses the fur trade in such a dramatic way?
"The message is that fur-bearing animals who are shot, clubbed, electrocuted, caught in traps or have their necks broken on breeding farms don't matter. Their skins are viewed as belonging to humans. It's a destructive and irresponsible message to many who deeply admire you.
"Opulent, elegant, but most of all conscientious alternatives to fur abound, and to commit to ethical fashion statements would educate your fans in a meaningful way. You have the power to turn your message around. We at Friends of Animals, an animal-advocacy organization founded in 1957, ask you to publicly reject fur. We agree that fur is beautiful - on the bodies of those who were born in it."Jacked from Contact Music

Really? People are still protesting fur? In this day and age? This is just as dumb as people who still think homosexuality is wrong.
Leave the woman alone! They are talking more about her than the damn inauguration! It's a shame the world we live in is more concerned with the celebrities than the man who is governing the country. SMH. This is just making her more famous.
Fur makes people look old. And it's not cool.
Truth,
You're disparagingly on Bey posts, no matter how insignificant or foolish the topic is.
& Beyonce is not dumb, shes smart enough to ignore them Inbreds & their silly tactics no matter how much they pick on her.
TruthBeTold get over it. if nature didn't want us to wear furs , nature wouldn't of taken away our fur, well natural left fur for the white people and Indians(Real Indians, not native Americans ). since bey once is neither . she needs fur to stay warm .get over it
There is always faux fur one can wear. No need for innocent animals to die needlessly.
Bey didn't shot or electrocute the animal, she just bought the coat.
If I see a mink I'm clubbin that bitch.... I hate Beyonce but I love me some fur.... whats the big deal - nobody checking for Sable's or Chinchilla (spelling??).... I mean really PETA if you want to protest something protest the eating of man by sharks....
People kill me with that "innocent animals" shit - its called the circle of life idiots - survival of the fittest - if we (man) weren't at the top of the food chain some other animal would be clubbing us and wearing our "fur"....
No disrespect but Beyonce was the only fool at the inauguration in an after 5 dress and fur coat in the morning, and she was the only fool who took off her coat in the cold to pretend to sing a song. I guess when you are dumb, you are dumb!!!
