Queen Bee fur hag Anna Wintour didn't really think we'd let her spread her fashion drivel gospel to the masses unfettered, did she?
As the Vogue editor prepared to give a talk at the New York City 92nd Street Y about the "cultural impact" of her rag magazine last night, two PETA members disrupted the event to let attendees know about the ethical impact of Wintour's relentless promotion of fur.
As one fur foe unfurled a banner from the balcony reading, "Anna Wintour: Fur Shame," a second activist addressed the crowd, saying, "I apologize for the interruption, but I need to let you know that this woman is contributing to the suffering of millions of animals every year through her continued endorsement of the fur industry, even though she knows that the animals in question are beaten, anally electrocuted, and frequently skinned alive."
The protesters rabble roused until security escorted them out. We're hoping that the audience now realizes that Ms. Wintour's days as Vogue's editor should be numbered.

Re: Sophia. Anyone who promotes stealing fur from animals in the name of fashion is not “brilliant.” Rather, Anna Wintour is the epitome of cruelty, who, sadly, can influence people's decision to wear fur by promoting it in Vogue and by wearing it herself.

I am not a supporter of fur, or animal abuse, but i think that peta should leave anna wintour alone she is a brilliant woman, and I love Vogue Magazine. If she wants to wear fur, that is her choice alone and I highly doubt she is affecting peoples decision to wear fur. I think people can make their own decision about that.
