Fur-Loving Beyoncé Frightens Zoo Residents

Beyoncé Knowles took some time off after finally wrapping her upcoming movie "Dreamgirls" and spent an afternoon with her entourage at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney yesterday.

The singer-actress-designer -- and sometimes-target of animal rights organization PETA -- spent the day visiting all the fuzzy and furry creatures residing at the Zoo, presumably not searching for inspiration for her next clothing line.

The former Destiny's Child diva took all sorts of heat for the use of animal fur in her fashion line House of Dereon after she was ambushed by an angry PETA member at a charity dinner earlier this year, as TMZ first reported.

151. keisha this is so true. people hate hearing the truth. i usually surf the internet for world wide information on things that are going on in this world. but this was the first web site that i commented on. but when i go to the other sites it is the same thing. people are commenting about whitney houston and her drug problem. halle and her new white boyfriend. oprah trying to be god. that was stupid. the game and 50 cent not having fathers. and the one that was really sad was the one about fishburne. he is a good actor. so it is easy for #152 to comment that we can do better. there are racial slurs everywhere. i am going to stand up every chance that i can. when will the white race stop. i am glad that tara and all the rest have stop posting. they needed to. and if someone else picks up where she left off i will be ready for them. i love my black people. i feel sorry for the white race. they have someone to answer to, GOD. i fear no one but him.

152. STOP BEING A BEYONCE-HATER AND GET A LIFE. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS AND STOP ACTING LIKE YOU'VE NEVER WORE FUR IN YOUR LIFE, THOUGH MOST OF YOU HATERS HAVEN'T AND YOU ARE JUST HATING CUS SHE CAN AFFORD IT AND YOU CAN'T. BEYONCE IS A WOMAN WHO IS DOING HER THING. GET OVER IT.

153. # 137 WHILE YOU ARE SAYING THESE IGNORANT THINGS ABOUT BLACK WOMEN WANTING YOUR SILKY HAIR, BLUE EYES AND ETC. HAVE YOU STOPPED TO THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE TANS YOU GET, THE LIP INJECTIONS YOU GET AND THE ASS SURGERIES AND INJECTIONS YOU WHITE WOMEN GET IS FOR SH*T THAT BLACK WOMEN ALREADY HAVE YOU DUMB ASSES.

154. It appears I gave humanity more credit than it deserves. For those still posting: people wanted to get you riled up and upset and that is just what they've done. They are gone yet you are still here refuting what was said. Don't fall into that trap. If you do they have won in the battle of hate. Take their comments for what they are and move on. Yes it's easy for me to say but as I said, can't we just treat each other with kindness and respect? Is that asking too much?

155. Keisha-you're only 21 so you dont really have sh*t exept that you still live with your parents. I also doubt you've read more books then me. Reading your choice of words in your comments makes me think that you dont read much of anything. By the way, I'm an accountant and I have my own firm. I went to a college of my choice, graduated with honors like I always have and I live in one of the safest cities in America. And why is that?? Because none of your kind live around here

156. this is not keisha but I will speak on her behalf, you stringy-haired ugly bitch you need to do something with yourself besides being so colored struck and you sound even more ignorant now that I found out you're supposed to be a educated woman but sound like redneck uneducated trailer trash.

157. #156 i will take things as i see them. after reading your post, you try to sound neutral but you really aren't. have you ever heard of freedom of speech. their is no reasoning with a devil. and i am not riled up. my ancestors would not speak up for themselves but i can. you noticed after you said that bullsh*t, angela turned right around and insulted keisha. shavonne that was nicely said. angela, none of you live in my area either. thank God, i would not want my children on cocaine or speed. dont get mad because keisha is smatter than you. angela read my response to tara. you are good for the same thing. don't get me started on you.

158. Actually i am neutral, you must look for hate in everyone and everything. That's very sad. If you see all white people as the devil you are going to have a VERY rough life. Your generalzations and foul language will not serve you well. As no one here is interested in constructive conversation I will leave you to hate.

159. #160 i do not look for hate in anyone. i give respect when it is given to me. i have a happy marriage and life. but i was not raised to be stupid. i know how to get along with white people. but, i am not stupid enough to think that they like black people. and if you think that, then you are stupid. any time that they can get away with the mistreating blacks, they will. you should have known that from hurricane katrina. #161 you started off making sense. i agree people should mind their own business. but then you contradicted yourself. if beyonce wants to wear a fur coat, that is her business. that means, you should mind your own business. you did not buy her coat.

160. What about the whites who left their homes and volunteered, for no pay, to help those in need? What about the whites who opened their homes to black families who had nowhere to go? They received neither pay nor recognition for their efforts. (As several did in my city) The mayor of New Orleans is black, HE was the one who should have seen to it that people were taken care of. What responsibility are you putting on his shoulders? To say that "white people don't like black people" is ridiculous. Some don't, just as some blacks hate all whites. But all? I will never believe that.

161. Beyonce is pretty but shes boring fur on the other hand is so stupid to trip about whoever has a problem need to get a life if someone gave you fur worth thousands of dollars lets see if you'd cut it up I don't think so get over it or sign up with peta Beyonce don't lose sleep over it Not in her million dollar home she don't Beyonce never let her true feelings show but I bet she laughing at how much yall rant and rave about the baddest bitch in the game!

162. Jennifer Hudson is the baddest bitch in the game! And Beyonce knows it. If someone gave me a fur I would donate it to one of the many organizations that rescue orphaned animals. They use these furs for the benefit of the orphans. (To sleep on, etc..) There is no way in hell I would keep it, no matter what the cost. I have seen the videos of how these animals are killed for their fur. If everyone could see with their own eyes fur would be a thing of the past. Material possessions are not the most important things in life, believe it or not...
