By now, you probably know what President Obama thinks about Kanye's VMA stunt.

We want the president to rest assured that PETA, for one, can sympathize with his sentiments. After all, this isn't the first time that Kanye has been insensitive to the feelings of others.

Brien Wolves in the Continental U.S. are under the protection of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. I'm sure that something must be going on to stop it. Also since the 90's the U.S. and Europe have been reintroduction programs where they get introduced to areas like Yellowstone where they were previously extirpated.

Brien I look forward to reading your posts you always sound like a reasonable person but on the grey wolf issue please give President Obama some time he has a lot of other things on his plate. I don't know if you read or heard about the Tea Party protest on the mall recently which was supposed to attract only a few thousand people but ended up with a lot more than that an understatementmost of which I believe were using being against his policies as an excuse to be there when they really just do not like HIM. Hopefully he will get to the wolves before they are extinct but I think PETA should apply a lot omre pressure on the government of Idaho until President Obama can get to it.

Kate Moss another fur wearer is also best pals with Stella. Given the number of campaigns Stell has been involved with I'm sure those two nasty women are well aware of the horrors of the fur industry but clearly looking good is more important to them than the welfare of animals. Short of holding a gun to their head there's not much Stella can do. As for Kanye what an obnoxious little idiot. Not content with supporting animal abuse now he's intimidating young women.

Too bad the President did not protect imperiled graygrey wolves that are currently being massacred in Idaho. He's an improvement over Bush but he's not a panacea by any means.

At one time Madonna was claimed to be stoically antifur. She was even seen wearing a tshirt that said 'fur is worn by beautiful animals and ugly people'. Because of her change of heart now lots of people will think fur is 'okay' again. She has been given such great power over the hearts and minds of people and chosen to use it to inflict suffering on a massive scale. It is so sadshe's gone from iconic artist into attentionseeking shriveled up wreck!

I just clicked on to see who else is wearing fur and the number one fur hag is Madonna. I know she is good friends with cruelty free Stella McCartney so why can't Stella convice Madonna not to wear fur? If she is trying to convince her not to wear fur she should be trying harder!
