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.

61. Okay let me get this straight, all of you bored, ignorant, dumb and probably lonely azzed people have nothing better to do than to sit on this site and call B a bitch among other horrible things. If you don't wear fur good for you, but don't say ignorant stuff like she needs to be skinned herself. Damn what's wrong with you ladies or gents for that matter, don't you have a man or woman in your life that could give you some attention. You all are weird.

62. Keisha, the only person that has mentioned racism so far is you. How did we get off the subject about fur and Beyonce and go straight to racism?? Clearly you are black and it doesnt surprise me that you are so passionate it about the subject. It just amazes me how blacks talk so much about it and they are the biggest racists in the world. Everyone is a racist except you, right? Quit feeling sorry for yourself, dont be ashamed of who you are. If you want to talk about racism then maybe you should be on a different web page. We're talking about animals little darling

63.
Not only Beyonce needs to see a video of the animals being skinned alive on fur farms: but all you other meat eaters need to see what goes on at the farms before the anmials' carcass finds itself in your refridgerator.
As far as the comments about Beyoince and other celebrites being skinned you guys must be a serious nutcase. I guess thats why celebrites require so much security when out in public. Before suggesting that someone be skinned think about all the meat you've consumed so lets all save the animals one bite at a time!!!

64. Katie and "don't be stupid" (there's irony for you) you're morons. What several people have pointed out... oh never mind. You wouldn't understand the big words. Now why don't you both go treat yourselves a nice artery-clogging pork chop? Wut up with that?? Did you finish elementary school? O.K. I'm finished, now run along to your minimum wage paying jobs.

65. Beyonce is rich and most of you on here judging her are just maybe middle class and you had to work and go to college for that salary. Could it be that you're really upset that she's young, rich and black? (Especially Meril )Maybe so thats why you same ignorant bigots hate Jennifer Lopez and all other people of color.
Theres no problem with wearing a fur as long as she didnt steal it like some of you bigots might think she would.

66. Deborah Moschowitz sounds like an idiot who really needs to eat a burger, or a slab of ribs. The lawyer from earlier should be somewhere working on a case not wasting a clients money online with all the other idiots and the fat lady with the kids dancing in a basement in Florida is just upset that her DREAMGIRLS didnt have as much talent as Destiny Child.

67. Beyonce is such a hypocrite and an a**hole. This bitch should roll in dog sh*t where she belongs!

68. I'm the lawyer. And gee, thanks for looking out for my clients but I'm on vacation. And I hate to point out the obvious but if everyone online is an idiot I guess you are an idiot as well. It amazes me that those not intelligent enough to convey an honest opinion on this site resort to name-calling. Now you can go have you're burger or slab of ribs and add a few more pounds while I enjoy myvegetarian lifestyle and rock-hard body.

69. Numbers 1 thru 66 you all are a bunch of f***ing SOCIOPSYCHOLOGICAL wackos who would benefit from a few sessions with Dr. Phil or myself. Khristine I hate to advise you but studies have shown that most people are racists in some way or the other. Having said that some of the fiery responses may have been derived from secret hatred that people on here might have. Now I've just become an idiot too for responding. Beyonce remove the furs better yet remove all clothing and send me a pic.

70. You're damn straight that I'm African American. I was born Black and will die Black. There is no shame in that. Can't you tell by my proud black name? Yes, I sure did bring up racism, but I did not make this discussion about race. Because stating that African Americans should stick to fried chicken, jheri curls, and afro sheen is nothing but racist. So is suggesting that Beyonce lightens her skin and wears a hair weave in an effort to look white. Thats how we went from Beyonce to racism. Little darling, all African Americans are not racist. Neither are all whites. Stop making generalizations. But if the shoe fits, wear it. And to the person who said that "some people" always talk about race, "some people" love to accuse minorities of "playing the race card." And "some people" bring up a person's race when it has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand. Like Merril. And, by the way, I attend the university of my choice. And when I graduate, I am certain that I will have a job. I have no reason to feel sorry for myself. Like B, I get what I want. And these people probably aren't even middle class. I bet they live in trailers.

71. Keisha get a life and go back to studying. Nobody cares about your racist troublemaking remarks. I'm here to read about more intereting issues then your biggot remarks

72. Right on Keisha you effectively made your point. So thats 2 points for black power and 1 point for the white team I'm sorry but the Hispanic team is lagging way behind. Buy artificial furs and eat more chicken!

73. Hecklers back and Im keeping score I can make some serious money off you people #70 has just earned another point for the whites.
