Janet Jackson has gained much praise and scrutiny for her new ad featuring beautiful black mink created by BlackGlama fur firm. Although Janet is surely the right pick for the theme “What It Takes to Be A Legend Most”, PETA animal activists seem to think differently!
Here’s a recent post from starpulse.com in reference to Janet’s new ad:
Animal activists have taken aim at Janet Jackson for signing on as the new face of fur firm BlackGlama.
The pop superstar was announced as the brand’s new ‘What Becomes a Legend Most?’ spokes model on Thursday and she’ll model high-quality mink items in the ads – and PETA bosses have been quick to react.
Spokeswoman Amanda Schinke says, “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. We are asking her to think again and to donate these stolen skins to be used as bedding for animals orphaned by other human-caused disasters, such as loss of habitat.”
I beg to differ. Janet looks absolutely fabulous in this ad and the furs are AMAZING. However, we all have our differing opinions. Her words on “what makes a legend” are very touching. Check out the video for the photo shoot below…
