Yo PETA! Over here.

I am not obsessed with PETA or the ongoing debate over the ethics of wearing fur. But I have to say that Mary J. Blige and Patti Labelle have outdone themselves in thumbing their noses at animal activists. Here's a quote from Blige, from last January, when she told PETA, in essence, to shove it:

"Those PETA people don’t want to mess with me, they don’t want to throw paint on my coat because it’s not just going to be throwing paint. It’s going to be Mary in the news the next day, you know what I mean?"

I know what she means. I suspect that Blige could maim a polar bear with her bare hands. PETA had better steer clear of her.

Animals, "pets" are over-esteemed in our culture. People should be more important. PETA shows us it's disdain for humans by protesting celebrities when I believe their time and effort would be better spent feeding the homeless. Why not protest WallMart for selling leather or McDonalds for killing pigs for sausage? Are cows and pigs less important than dolphins and chinchillas? Is it because they are less cute or is it because it's not as fun as throwing paint? I believe those PETA people revere animals to the point of hating humans and that is totally wrong.
