Dear Kylie Minogue...

Written by PETA

Posted 02-27-2008

Before singling her out on PETA’s Worst Dressed List last week, we contacted Kylie Minogue a number of times to let her know about the cruelty she was supporting with her weird proclivity for wearing reptile skins out in public, but so far she hasn’t even bothered to reply. Well, as Kylie is doubtless figuring out at the moment, we don’t exactly give up around here. The hope is that this latest letter—along with the accompanying video of exactly how reptiles suffer in the exotic-skins industry that she’s been promoting—will appeal to her conscience, while the press she’s getting over her Worst Dressed List appearance continues to do its work on her vanity.

Kylie needs to "come on and do the LocoMotion" in her brain to get it working. Cho told Kylie millions of times to stop supporting the skins industry not to be confused with the skin magazine industry which is another story... and yet Kylie being the blonde Aussie she is didn't take the advice.

Why is it no one said anything about Kylie's costumes when they are made from feathers. Why is it that only when Kylie carries something that could be snake that then PETA steps in. I am all for cruelty free for animals however why doesn't PETA show a humane way. People will always eat animals and wear leather. Why not find a way to do this humanely instead of abusing people and guilt tripping them into being like you and into doing something that you want them to do. I support most things that PETA do however it is extremely one sided. Educate people however shaming someone is also not okay. Leave Kylie alone you have made your point. There are laws against what PETA do and what they may do to Kylie and they should abide by them.

DEAR JACK.... YOU DID NOT PRINT UP MY BLOG ON THE ARRONGANCE OF PETA AND WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO ANSWER THEM IF THEY DON'T WANT... and if they don't why should they have to be afraid of the peta machine..... YOU HAVE NOT PRINTED A FEW THINGS LATELY WHICH WOULD LEAD ME TO THINK A YOU ARE TIRED OF HEARING THE OTHER SIDE Bor i'm hitting too close to home on a lot of my comments c or the powers that be told you to lock up my lips....

We hurt when we skin our knees. How unimaginally painful it must be to be skinned completely alive. Who are these people?

why could she be wearing fake snake skin? i doubt most celebraties would wear fake skin she's not trailor trash and obviously even if it's fake it still promotes the wearing of skin. if she's against it she needs to be fully against it

what a superb letter by michelle cho!!! i applaud PETA'S efforts to wake up so many high profile fashionistas. let's HOPE that with education and outreach more pple will turn away from skin and fur. PETA's already helped other celebs change let's hope kylie follows their lead.

Erin and Flora I'm sure you see yourselves as loving caring and compassionate people....so I don't understand why you would automatically assume that Kylie does wear animal skins when there is clearly no proof this is true. I find your comments really extreme do you need some medication?? Or are you just jealous that you are not able to afford designer clothes and accessories? Hugs to you both x

Clearly Jeff doesn't care that very few celebrities truly share our cause. Those who kill are scum plain and simple. Stop defending the celebrities and join the fight to make them all give up these things they hold so dear! If we can force all of the famous people to quit wearing the things they like to wear then we might actually win for a change! But people like Kylie are the rule not the exception right now. So quit helping her!

Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights? Read more.
