PETA lashes out at singer Beyonce, citing alligator cruelty

[ecstatic]

LMAO...



The animal rights organization contacted one of the world's leading biologists, who wrote Knowles a letter saying, "As a specialist in reptile biology and welfare, I'm concerned about your posing with a terrified baby alligator for your new album cover." He added, "Humans and alligators are not natural bedfellows, and the two should not mix at events such as photo shoots. In my view, doing so is arguably abusive to an animal."

Beyoncé has not responded to the letter. This isn't the first time PETA has gone after her. This past June, Beyoncé and her mom were confronted by PETA members at a fancy New York restaurant over the singer's use of fur in her fashion lines.

1. She SHOULD be attacked...

by the Good Taste Police. That's the tackiest album cover I've seen in a long time.

[idgiehkt]

4. that's an album cover?

wow. that's Jay-Z. Man, what a bummer.

[southpaw]

5. Huh?

:shrug:

[idgiehkt]

8. it's trashy looking

just too cheap for someone like Beyonce. She has more class than that. Even that font is tacky as hell...

[southpaw]

10. gotcha... using 'Jay-Z' as an adjective.

I couldn't figure what you meant by 'that's Jay-Z'

[progmom]

15. no, actually, it isn't

this is the new album cover:

[idgiehkt]

17. better.

bad wig, and that font has got to go, but this is much better. Is that a chainmail tank top or something?

Somebody really got carried away here. I don't understand why they just don't let beautiful women be instead of coating them with all this makeup and hairspray. They need to dial this back a few notches.

[meegbear]

7. I agree ...

she's gonna win the Grammy for "Stupidest Fucking Cover of the Year".

Good work Beyonce :thumbsup:

[CrushTheDLC]

2. Those don't look like baby alligators to me

I wouldn't say that scene looks especially cruel either. Though it does look completely ridiculous, and is probably a complete Photoshop job. In which case they can use the disclaimer "No live alligators were harmed during the shooting of this album cover"

Now cruelty would be forcing the poor gators to listen to her music.....

[progmom]

18. i like her music

x(

[China_cat]

3. BABY alligator?????

:banghead:

[liontamer]

6. wow.

A)that's photoshop. nobody prancing around in heels hangs wth two alligators
B) Thats the tackiest piece of trash I've seen ever. Tell me that's not real.

[sakabatou]

13. It's looks like a photoshop

Or just REALLY REALLY bad graphic design... >_<

[jpgray]

9. She really wants a Bond movie role I guess

And exposing any living thing to that outfit is criminal cruelty.

[southpaw]

16. You mean playing Foxy Cleopatra

in one of those Austin Powers miscarriages wasn't good enough for her?

That this spoiled little barbiedoll even has a career is beyond me.

[MrCoffee]

11. That's just plain cruel to my eyeballs.

[Katina]

12. tacky, trashy & fake.....no, I don't mean her boobs!

but as someone said, no one would be that close to gators in high heels and based on the size of those gators..those are no babies.

[progmom]

14. well DUH - that isn't the album cover - that's a single

this is the album cover:

[Catchawave]

19. Looks like a bad "snuff" photo.....

...which is something involving stilettos and animals...euwwwwww.

[judaspriestess]

20. screw the bitch, I am not a fan of hers

yeah I know everyone else and their mother is but I just can't get into this chick. The fact that she uses fur is just ignorant and tacky.
