PETA Attacks Kim Kardashian for New Hermes Birkin Bag


PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is picking on Kim Kardashian once more for her love of all things leather and fur. This time, she's drawing their ire for a new Hermes Birkin bag.

Though all the Kardashian women must own about a hundred of these pricey items in total, with Kim having her fair share, it's just now that PETA is publicly attacking her for owning one.

A few days ago, Kim was photographed with a new Birkin bag, a black one made of crocodile skin. PETA believes she continues to be irresponsible in purchasing these items.

One crocodile-skin Birkin bag can cost up to $50,000 (€40,859.6), but PETA believes Kim should pay more attention to the poor crocodiles who have to die for it and not its value in money.

“For every alligator or crocodile-skin accessory, an animal was likely beaten but still conscious and able to feel excruciating pain as his or her skin was peeled off,” PETA spokesperson Wendy Wegner says for Radar Online.

“These animals feel fear and pain and they don't want to die. Alligators and crocodiles have no real legal protection, but they have done nothing to deserve the violent treatment that they endure,” Wegner continues.

“PETA urges consumers to watch Joaquin Phoenix's video expose of the cruel exotic-skins industry and vow today never to buy items made from the skin of alligators, snakes, or crocodiles,” adds the spokesperson.

As it happens, this isn't the first time that the group picks on the curvalicious reality star in recent months: in June this year, PETA issued an equally scathing statement after Kim was photographed in Paris rocking a pair of thigh-high python Louboutin boots.

Neither then nor now has Kim dignified an answer to such public criticism. One could easily conclude she feels the same way Kanye felt when he was criticized for wearing fur: “Imagine the pressure of being a true icon. Very few human beings are strong enough to take constant hate!!!” (in CAPS, as Kanye used to write on his blog).
