Madonna’s PETA Pelting

Madonna used to be a supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

But now the material girl is in PETA’s face. She recently went out in public in a full-length fur coat.

The $70,000 garment reportedly used the pelts of 40 chinchillas.

PETA called on Madonna to show the kind of empathy for animals that she showed for African children.

“We hope that Madonna's recent acts of kindness in Africa move her to extend her compassion to animals,” PETA said through a spokesperson.

The Left Coast Report says there’s no word yet on whether Madonna has taken any steps to adopt a chinchilla.
