The Fur Issue
I had enough from all these horrible sites that take GaGa's words and turn it into something completely different. Help me spread the word;

First of all, I'm a little monster. I come to this site everyday, her music helped me through a difficult time and last week just bought my tickets to the BTWB. I love Gaga.
That said, the fur issue really bothers me, and I'm confused ever since. See, she may have said she stayed away from skinned fur. The coats may be fake (I don't know if I believe that) but the problem is: she said she would buy it, wear it, and she sees it as ART.
Is killing animals for fashion really art? Being "legal" fur doesn't make it any less wrong. Do we really need to kill animals for their fur nowadays?
Leather and meat should not be compared because they are a different issue. Also, it's not because leather and meat are consumed thar fur should be ok. It's not because there are "bigger problems" that one should be ignored.
So Gaga says fur is art. That makes a good deal of her fanbase agree and support her. Maybe some will buy a fur coat because Gaga would support it. The designers would sell more and "make more art". That's just making it bigger.
Most people still eat meat, but isn't it great that so many famous people and artists are vegetarian or vegan? Don't you think there are lots of people that have been influenced by them? It does make a difference, even a small one.
Anyway, to make it short, the main issues are:
1- She said fur is art.
2- She is famous.
By the way, I stay away from...
