(Undated) — Pop superstar Janet Jackson is catching heat from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for appearing in a mink coat in a recent ad campaign for furrier Blackglama. PETA has released a statement claiming Jackson is simply trying to revive a dying career. They state, quote, “It’s amazing what celebrities will do when their careers are on a downslide, but we didn’t think that Janet was this desperate. Surely she knows enough about suffering and unjustified death to recognize that both occur in the production of a fur coat.” PETA goes on to say that they would like Jackson to donate her mink coat so that it can be used for animals that have been orphaned by “other human-caused disasters.” Janet Jackson has yet to respond to PETA’s comments.
