PETA to Aretha: Lose the Fur, Keep Your House

Posted Mar 26th 2008 1:50PM by TMZ Staff

PETA is trying to help out Aretha Franklin with that whole foreclosure mess she's in. The animal rights group has written a letter to the fur-ocious Queen of Soul offering to pay her $19,000 tax bill if she promises to never wear fur again and donate her unwanted furs to PETA - like Mariah Carey and Kim Cattrall have done.

Aretha should know, fur is definitely out of fashion. Hasn't she seen all those shots of Paris and Britney getting out of cars?

61. Peta

1. does not use donations to actually help animals in need. They use them for fruitless crap like this, and to pay millions of dollars to stars like Pamela Anderson to be a spokesperson for their cause.

2. People are technically animals yet they don't see anything wrong with harming them to further their cause. Do unto others obviously doesn't apply to peta.

your money is better spent at the ASPCA or your local non-kill shelter where you know the majority of the money goes to making sure the animals get medical care they need instead of automatic euthanasia due to lack of food, space and ability to properly treat illnesses.

62. Typical PETA eco-nazi BS. Exploiting poor black women to FURther their warped causes.
