PETA Put Fur on the Menu for Stunned Beyonce

SF Chronicle / Adam Traum, 2005

Beyonce Knowles and her mother were forced to flee a dinner fans won at an

auction when the devotees turned out to be activists from People for the Ethical

Treatment of Animals.

The PETA pair, who won the chance to dine with Beyonce at a VH1 Save the Music

auction, bombarded the pop diva with questions about her decisions to wear fur

and include fur in her clothing line, House of Dereon.

The onslaught didn't stop there as Beyonce and her mom sat awkwardly at New

York's trendy Nobu 57 Thursday night -- the unnamed PETA pair placed a portable

DVD player and forced the Knowles women to watch a video expose, narrated by

Pamela Anderson, of the fur industry, featuring footage of animals who are

trapped, drowned and electrocuted for their pelts.

Beyonce and her mother quickly excused themselves and left the restaurant.

PETA spokesman Michael McGraw says, " PETA has contacted Beyonce numerous times

over the years, begging her to stop promoting the violence of the fur industry.

" By wearing and designing fur, she is setting a terrible example for young women

who look up to her and want to emulate her. She is promoting one of the most

violent industries on the planet. "

McGraw hopes that Beyonce's awkward dinner date has made her think twice about

using and wearing fur: " She must be truly heartless to be unmoved by the images

of foxes being anally electrocuted and minks having their necks snapped. "

Defending this corruption on which you are sat

You tell me what to think, you tell me this and that

`Freedom is O.K. you scum` but make sure it`s never used

In your defence of liberty I always stand accused
