PETA Attacks Aretha Franklin In Open Letter For Wearing Fur

Posted about 1 year ago
If Aretha is still mad at Beyonce for calling Tina Turner "The Queen" last week, PETA may have just turned her sights elsewhere. The animal rights activists called out Ms. Franklin and took a few shots at her weight in a very public letter.
"Music lovers may think of you as a 'queen,' but to animal lovers, you are a court jester . . . Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as 'queen of compassion,' Mariah Carey, did. You'll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises."
Surely the Queen Of Soul will come to her senses after reading this tactful letter, and immediately discard all of her furs.

  1. oliverpenn says Aretha has furs, they cost a lot of money. Leave her alone. I don't like the way they kill animals for their fur, either, and Aretha probably feels the same way. But, she has the furs now, let her wear them! I feel that PETA is using Aretha's fame to promote their agenda. They will do better by not throwing paint on women or chasing them down on the street. In the end, it's up to the woman who owns the fur. Let them, and Aretha, make up their OWN minds about the furs they possess. Convince the people who don't own furs yet. They should be the target.
