PETA Pressures Rihanna Over Outfit, Uses Her Violent Past Against Her

Remember when Rihanna stepped out looking like a turquoise big bird? Yea, me too…and apparently others weren’t too keen on that outfit choice..especially PETA. They even went as far as referencing her past of violence against her!

The ostrich feathers that covered the entire top have angered PETA activists, as the feathers might have been collected in a cruel or harmful way — possibly while the animal was still alive. A PETA spokesperson spoke to the Daily Star about Rihanna’s offense, taking this interest tack: “We keep hoping that Rihanna, a victim of violence herself, will learn to open her heart and start empathising with the suffering of others.” Apparently Rihanna is quite the repeat offender — PETA called out the star for wearing “foxes, cows and reptiles” and we’re guessing there’s been a mink or two over the years. Guess Riri won’t be the next celeb stripping down for the animal rights organizations, which loves its celebrities and models. Christy Turlington, Christina Applegate, Alicia Silverstone and dozens more have posed in PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ads. Designer Stella McCartney has also been a huge fashion advocate of the cause.
