Lady Gaga Defends Wearing Fur

Lady Gaga heads out of her hotel and gets mobbed by fans as she heads to her concert on Thursday (August 16) in Bucharest, Romania.

The 26-year-old singer, in Moschino, recently took to her website LittleMonsters.com to defend wearing fur.

“To the fans. i want you to know that I care deeply about your feelings and views, and I will always support your philosophies about life,” Gaga wrote. “We’ve been having over-arching conversations about society, equality, and politics for the past five years, and we should continue.”

“I do not however support violent, abusive, and childish campaigns for ANY CAUSE,” she added. “Particularly one that I respect. ‘Animal Rights.’ I am choosing not to comment on whether or not the furs I purchase are faux fur-pile or real because I would think it hypercritical not to acknowledge the python, ostrich, cow hide, leather, lamb, alligator, “kermit” and not to mention meat, that I have already worn. This should already put me in a category as one who appreciates and adores the beauty of animals in fashion, but am not a strict vegan.”

“I have truly always stayed away from skinned fur, especially i have never been able to afford a nice one, but this does not mean my morals are rigid and that I won’t bend at the sight of an absolute art piece of a coat,” Gaga continued. “I have no chains about this. You see a carcass, I see a museum pièce de résistance. But I am truly sorry to fans who are upset by this, its a fair and applaudable feeling about the health and safety of animals. I respect your views, please respect mine. And to campaigners, Save your flour to make bread for the children who are hungry. And Kim Kardashian is fabulous.”
