Who are you calling a fur-ball?

Catherine Zeta-Jones - is that wool?
The animal activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) knows how the world of news works. It used to be that such groups would cry "shame" when someone wore clothing which previously kept an animal warm, but PETA has marketing know-how several levels above this.


Just ask Catherine Zeta-Jones, that sultry siren who is famous for being beautiful and for being Welsh.

PETA has just tried to add infamy to her trophy cupboard, naming her the world's biggest fashion offender.

According to PETA, Zeta was spotted wearing an outfit that included leather pants, a fox coat and an alligator bag. Zeta, PETA said, "looked like she was working her way through Noah's Ark with a knife".

PETA's acerbic finger-pointing was also aimed at Jenifer Lopez, who was dubbed "Jenny from the butcher block" for wearing "old-school corpse coats", whatever that means, and at Kate Hudson, who according to PETA may have been dumped by boyfriend Alex Rodriguez because she loves wearing fur.

So is this a case of all's fair in love and animal rights? Or would we prefer PETA to stop behaving like a tabloid newspaper?

Great comment Beth. It's interesting to imagine some other-world anthropologist writing up a description of the species homo sapiens: "naturally aggressive" he would write, before possibly crossing it out and replacing it with "war-like".
