I was going to post this in the Gaga fur thread but it got closed so i'll post it here

The flour line
I respect her so much for being honest and open about this
Here are my two cents: there really isn't that much of a difference between eating meat and wearing fur. For those of you saying eating is necessary, while fashion/clothing is not--eating meat is not necessary for the vast majority of people. Obviously starving individuals are in a category of their own and will understandably eat whatever they can get. But for most people, no one is forcing you to shove a burger down your throat just to so that you'll stay alive. Generalizing "eating" as necessary is very different from saying eating meat is necessary. And in some cases, wearing fur may be necessary for survival, though that is rare just like cases in which eating meat is necessary for survival. And in terms of preparation and killing, both the meat industry and the fur industry are guilty of heinous crimes against animals, so in that sense one is not necessarily better than the other. I eat meat freely and if I really wanted to, I would wear fur--in some sense, just like Gaga, I think we all try to avoid supporting violence and torture, however indirectly, whenever we can, but the strictness and level of this is different for everyone. For someone who loves high fashion as much as Gaga does, it's not surprising that she would make a few exceptions for pieces of clothing that she finds truly outstanding. I think she was being honest and respectful and that's all you can ask for.
