A pair of PETA members entered a competition to enjoy dinner with pop star Beyoncé Knowles, won and then used the opportunity to confront her over the use of fur in her own fashion line, House of Deron.
The pair won a competition run by VH1 in aid of its Save The Music Foundation. They met the singer - and her mother and sister - at Nobu in New York, and upon arrival asked her why she chooses to both use fur in her own designs and wear it herself. They brought a portable DVD player to the table, which they used to show Beyoncé footage of animals being killed for their fur.
Apparently, the former Destiny's Child star sat in silence as the video played, while her family defended her. The PETA members were asked to leave by restaurant staff after only a few minutes.
Look, see: that's fur she's wearing, right there. Bad Beyoncé...
ace
:D
.
that's brilliant
video
she just sits there and lets her family defend her. dumb bitch.

PETA are scum.
amen
hmm.
while their views are justified (re: animal torture for skinny bitches to walk around in their fur), they should really re-think their tactics. shock tactics don't work for everyone.
in fact, do they have another tactic apart from showing that same fucking video over and over?
surely
scum is a bit strong, yeah they're extreme, but its for a good cause- skinning alsations alive is pretty fucking nasty!
i can gurantee....
that if an alsation could skin me alive it would, in fact several nearly have on numerous occasions. Fuck it I say, why should an animal have the right to be kept warm and not me, its not my fault i don't have my own personal rug!
shut up
ok.
Just being a twat as I'm bored!
wow
i always thought that bouncy was a pop star, but it turns out she's a powerful political figure who can be a real ally for PETA.
And, of course, trying to humiliate people in public is the best possible way to win them over, and the rest of us...
ah well, i bet the PETA monkeys had a lot of fun being all self-righteous in front of TV cameras and that - surely that's the main thing, i can't think of any better way they could have encouraged ethical treatment of animals.
i actually can't
no joke. that sounds like an ace publicity stunt to me. and making things personal is good, rather than just doing demos and stuff which don't necessarily get in one person's face and say 'we think what you're doing is wrong'.
...
What if - like me - you enjoy the sight of furry little critters being tortured and mistreated? What other weapons do organisations like PETA have in their arsenal. Because I don't know about you, but every time I walk past an animal rights protest and I see posters and placards of monkeys with electrodes in their brain, I don't think "Wow, do people really do that to monkeys?!", I think "Nothing I haven't seen in that Japanese snuff film I saw once..."
Supporter of Peta? Then you support murder
are you going to allow animal rights terrorists to dictate on what we can eat, what we can wear and what animals we are allowed to own? They purchase stock in companies, so that they can have a say or enforce their doctrines. Peta are murderers and they justify it, by placing the blame on the public. They advocate terrorists activities, no, they encourage it.
Do you have enough guts to say NO to Peta? Think of all the millions of dollars that is donated to Peta to save animals, but your donations go to Peta to use to infiltrate companies, local governments, buying companies and buying stock. They are far from the savers, they are the destroyers.
PETA employees Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook were arrested in June 2005, for allegedly killing 31 adoptable animals and tossing their bodies into a trash dumpster.
From July 1998 through the end of 2005, PETA killed over 14,400 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" -- at its Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. That's more than five defenseless animals every day. Not counting the dogs and cats PETA spayed and neutered, the group put to death over 90 percent of the animals it took in during 2005 alone. AND, that is only at the Norfolk, Virginia headquarters. What is so alarming, is that a majority of those murdered, were pets. Owners dropped off their pets to be cared for, and were "accidentally" murdered due to a mistake in the paperwork.
But was Peta brought up on animal cruelty charges, no! They justified this terrific act, by saying the Peta employees did not have their approval. Approval because they used a dumpster to dispose the bodies? or approval that they murdered innocent pets? Bottom line, they were employees of Peta.
Supporter of Peta? Then you support murder of innocent animals.

Peta Encourages Terrorists Activities
excuse me
if i don't believe someone with the user name "PetaMurders" can give me an unbiased and vaguely accurate picture.
i've said it once, i'll say it again:
"people with little emotional attachment give the most convincing arguments". maybe.
Re: Excuse me
wow, I guess school is out. I keep telling you and telling you, do not take my word on it, do not take Peta's word on it, do not take anyone's word on it. DO YOUR RESEARCH! and stop this belly aching bull. How are you going to learn anything if you do not research? Are you always going to believe what Peta and other orgs are telling you as the ultimate truth.
As far as emotional attachment, if you have seen and witness the things I have seen, you would not critize me so quickly.
I have spent many a heartache day and night, knowing that animals were delivered to a no-kill facility, and then ownership was transferred to a kill facility. Next time you are talking to a no-kill facility, ask them where do their surplus animals go. If they say Peta picks them up (or whoever), please investigate thoroughly.

murder?
IDIOT!!! don't you realise that, that site is funded by the meat, tabacco, and dairy industries. You shouldn't beleive everything you read - or you'll end up looking like a twat! oops too late!
Though its good to hear that you care about animals, you should look up goveg.com and find out what happens to animals on factory farms, i'm sure you'd be very upset. thanks
The Idiot Speaking here.
You shouldn't believe everything you read either, especially on the net. I can create a website, upload info that is false, and claim it is true. I can even give myself a title or proclaim I am a professional. Who can disclaim it as being false?
I said I have been researching Peta and other animal rights activists for quite a few years now.
Name calling is not going to work, it only shows your immaturity. I have other sites that are not supported by the Meat/Tobacco/Dairy Industries. But would you believe those sites? I doubt it.
You mentioned, "goveg.com". Did you know that vegetables are alive? that they react to music, to your tone of voice? does this mean they are alive? Of course!
But, ummmm...., "goveg" site, is it the truth or fiction? is it make up? do they quote professionals, that truly are not professtionals?
Like I said, research...research...research! Do not make assumptions, do not believe me or anyone else, or any organization. Spend time in researching, and please, do not react quickly in making assumptions.
yes, i'm the idiot
yes it is, that site and organisation is funded by THe meat.dairy and tabacco industry, that is fact.
And as you use the 'vegetables have feeling's too' argument am I inclined not to take you seriously, as you clearly eat animals and think its ok to do so, even considering all the 'research' you've done - where presumably you found animals being skinned alive, having their throats cut while they're still fully concious, animals being hung up by their legs and sliced open.
The fact is we're talking about fur - is it ok? no its not. end of, maybe your time could be better spent 'halping animals' by actually being active for them rather than shitting on animal rights organisations who's objectives are the same.
RonnieViolet
Wait a minute! How old are you all? Did I say I eat meat? Are we assuming again?
Did I deny that site is not from the Meat/Dairy/Tobacco industry?
I am a rescue and relocate facility for exotic animals. I take in or rehome exotic animals. It totally ticks me off, when people make assumptions. Animal owners, especially exotic animal owners who discover that they can no longer care for the animal, or their life style has changed, or they lose interest in the animal, or a ban or new regulation is enforced within their area, want to "get rid" of the animal. Does your area say you are only allowed to have two dogs and three cats? Does your area ban you from owning spiders, iguanas, or dogs over 30 lbs? It is me that fight for that animal to live. Once a owner gives the animal to Peta, in hopes of Peta finding a suitable home, Peta kills that animal 75% of the time. DO your research, rather than bashing me, or insulting me.
Do you happen to know your animal ordinances for your area? Do you know what you can own? People praise Peta without investigating. Do not believe their propaganda, do your research!
We live in a society that easily discards animals, don't want it anymore, well, get rid of it - right? Well, that animal has feelings, emotions and depends upon you for love, for comfort and for nutrition. Peta members were caught murdering innocent animals in a van and then discarding them in a public dumpster - twice! So who is Peta in defaming someone who wears fur, when their own employees commit horrible and depictable acts against animals. Don't do as I do, but do as I preach mentality!
heartless
Ya know what? This isn't about Peta. The VIDEO of the skinning alive of the animals speaks for itself. You should watch the video moron or actually I bet you wouldn't care anyway.
She shouldn't be supporting the skinning alive of animals for "fashion fur" that are then left to languish in agony and die. She should be ashamed of herself. I don't blame Peta, yeah it wasn't the best way to go about it but Peta had tried several times over the years to secretly get her to stop promoting such a barbaric abuse on animals and she ignored them. She sucks. What a heartless bitch.
Heartless? or Clueless?
Yes, it is about Peta. Peta advocates won this dinner under false pretenses. Their true indent was to make a publicity stunt out of it, by confronting her in public.
But isn't it her right, to make her own decisions, whether that decision is right or wrong? why should we allow Peta or any organization dictate to us or infiltrate our governments, or force companies only to sell what Peta wants? Peta encourages the killing, and places blame on the American public. Didn't that link bother you? I am sure it did by the way you responded. I have been an animal rights advocate for over twenty years, do your research, investigate Peta and other animal rights organization. Better yet, join Peta and learn from the inside out on what they are truly about.
If I did not care, I would not have brought this topic up.
I fully support for every animal to have a full and active life.
Do not allow your emotions over ride the truth.
PETA ROCK
FANTASTIC!!! that fucking fur bitch needs to get rid of her furs, she thinks she's such a good person while parading around in the fur of animals skinned alive. Good for PETA!!!
Skinned Alive?
Please note, it all depends on the fur. Some fur can be removed without harming the animal.
Over the years, I have read some horrific killing sprees in foreign lands, to remove the fur from living animals, which ultimately resulted in the animal's death.
But remember, not all fur is removed in this manner.
There are however, fur farms, which totally upset me. Even though the animals are dead, before the fur is removed, it is still murdering innocent and helpless animals.
This is what I fight against.
yes, skinned alive
other methods of killing animals used for include chemicals being injected into animals stiomachs, gassing, trapping (where animals bleed or starve to death) The majority of furt these days comes from china where yes, animals are beatehn and skinned while alive. The fur industry is a violent and bloody industry, i think that is the issue that we are all trying to bring to the attantion of celebrities and the public alike.
I like PETA
Essentially PetaMurders argues that celebrities shouldn't be challenged about anything... Surely comp-winners shouldn't lose the right to freedom of speech, just because they're with somebody famous!?
I like PETA, they have courage and conviction, plus they're funny. I don't think they're terrorists, just campaigners.
150 years ago people like PetaMurders and spadger_spotter were fighting to keep slavery and arguing that black people were only two-thirds of a person.
no...
I was joking you daft arse. As I made clear. Fact. There are more genetic similarities between a londoner and an aboriginie than there is between a londoner and a scouser, so if we are going to argue who is two thirds human then maybe we've found a starting point!
I like peta2.com
I wholeheattedly agree. presumably he's a fur coat dealer or something.

Insulted
You are making assumptions that are incorrect. Plus you are reading between the lines, words that do not exist.
Am I arguing? no
Did I state that celebrities should not be challenged? no
Slavery? black people? I am black. think everyone who responds is white?
your arguments
are up there on a level with (though on a different topic to) those of The_Glory's hilariously flawed Oasis defence.
Sorry
If it's not Fathers for Justice I'm not interested
...
what products have peta made the governments of the world stop selling? im just interested
replica....
alsation minges, come on, you should know that, you got it confiscated at heathrow 2 weeks back no?
oh please
and what about the poor silk worms that get gassed? what on EARTH can we do other than just stop living?
......
i dont see the problem with wearing fur.
i do see a problem with animal cruelty.
ethical means should exist for gaining fur, and thus devalued.
i have a bigger problem that we are selective over the unattractive animals that are also being killed off, (not just silk worms) but sharks and others deemed evil by disney.
anyway, whos to say destiny's slut uses skins off tortured animals? can PETA prove that?
no, they can not.
and im sure they wouldn't like it if someone turned up infront of their families with a load of accusations, reguardless of how worthy they are
I despise PETA.
It sickens me that vegetarians and vegans have to be associated with such a hypocritical organisation (as much as I don't support the fur trade at all).
What I don't support is an organisation that compares chickens to the Holocaust, argues against medical testing to cure life threatening diseases (while certain members themselves depend on medicine that likely would not exist without medical testing), funds extremist organisations and uses scare tactics to hook children to their cause.
animal abuse not justified
First of all, it's not just peta. peta was not the one on the videos skinning animals alive as they are in agony. Peta is the messanger, while I don't always agree with Peta's tactics, unnecessary animal abuse is pathetic.
yes there is proof. look at the video-you chicken shit, that's how the animals are skinned alive for their fur and this is how it is done from where Mrs heartless gets her furs that she promotes to young people. Skinning them alive preserves the whole fur longer and it is the way it is done. look at the video for the facts you chicken shit.
you say you don't see a problem with animal cruelty? do you know that there is a strong link with animal cruelty and cruelty to children and woman? I guess you don't care about cruelty to anything. your pathetic.
i think you need some
glasses, and two brain cells to rub together before your mouth starts moving 'you chicken shit', and come on, 'you chicken shit', lets not disgrace animal toilets with this thread.
i am sure fur can be retrieved off an animal that has just been killed in the same fashion as one that is alive, and with more ease as it wont resist.
now strip off, im sure something died to clothe you, fool.
watch the video
Your own words, "Your sure fur can be retrieved off an animal that has just been killed." You need to do your research, you OBVIOUSLY WILL NOT view the video of the animals alive, fully conscience being skinned ALIVE in agony--that is what is wrong here. Obviously you looking at the video is the facts and you can't handle that.
And as for your attack on me that something died for me to be clothed is nonsense. I am now educated about the fur industry and I am not heartless like you. Karma goes and comes around. If you want to avoid looking at the video of the animals in agony being systematically skinned alive in pain and agony, then don't be surprised the crap you will get in your own life. Geez, maybe when you die, your hell will be being skinned alive. You can just keep your head in the sand rather than see the truth.
I don't know if you have a dog or cat as a pet???---Yeah in the video you will see a beautiful dog fully conscious being skinned alive all bloody crying---this is used as what they call in the fur industry "accesory fur"=---It is used for lining on coat collars and gloves and many caring people wear these garments with dog fur and they don't even know it. Fine, keep your head in the sand. Thank god alot of people don't think like you. Your heartless.
for a start
i am no attacker, vegaterian or buddist.
I wear leather, I eat beef, i feed my dog some beef, whats the big deal? your obviously too caught up with your own words to actually see that i said "i do see a problem with animal cruelty." but you cant help it if your a retard. I do not wish to watch some dog being killed on my computer, or watch snuff films and people who look at car accidents sicken me aswell, it is just something I do not need/want to see.
I think anything suffering is unnessesary, yet i do believe that if the fur industry was regulated better, the nessesary measures would be taken to avoid suffering. Now tell me, do you like chinese people who eat dogs? How about muslims that bleed their animal meat to death in order to consume it?
Why are dogs high up than cows or veg?
You obviously have some kind of attachment to fluffy animals and if you really believe your wearing material that doesn't involve some sort of death, you need to be sterlised, unless your naked of course, but i would still recommend it.
you don't understand
Back in your post you said you see nothing wrong with animal cruelty--you said it not me. And I don't think that animals in this modern day and age should be killed for their fur just for fashion. There are so many wonderful alternatives to fur that are even warmer and great quality. Any animal should not have to lose their life for pure vanity. To top it off the way the animals suffer and are skinned alive only makes it even more horrific. There is no justification for fur. And it's not just cute fluffy animals like you accused me pof, chincilas actually look like rats. And yes pigs and cows are not above dogs, they should ALSO be treated humanely. Eating is a necessity and fur is not in this day and age.I buy only organic, humanely raised meat because these animals deserve also to be raised humanely. And you talk about people eating dogs, have you educated yourself about what happens to those dogs before they eat them? They are beaten for example in Korea because they believe the stress hormones makes the meat taste better. You just don't understand that killing an animal simply for vanity is pathetic. And yes my clothes do not support killing an animal. You can buy these clothes, just look around and educate yourself.
!
Fashion is a really pointless thing, it serves no purposes, thus surely killing for fashion is equally pointless if not more so?
Educating ones self is a good thing.
im sorry
can you show me where i said 'there is nothing wrong with animal cruelty'?
misread
Dear Tumbleweed- My apoligies, I thought I read that and it angered me because I am against animal cruelty and un-necessary killing and suffering of animals for fur. I do think we all need to be aware of what is really going on. Have a good night.
PETA is a bunch of idiots.
I'm sick of PETA. Leave us alone you morons. There is nothing wrong with using fur, eating meat, or wearign leather. If you want to be vegetarians then go ahead, btu you don't deserve to tell the rest of us normal people what to do.
heartless
Go ahead be sick of them for exposing the gruesome truth about what is really going on. Look at the video, the animals are skinned ALIVE in agony for their fur. Fine keep your head in the sand and be heartless.
