Good, exposing this to a national audiance will also get Peta more recognition.

Are these Sex and the City skanks at it again?
When in one episode all the girls were wearing fur, that was enough for me.
Then in a magazine two of the girls were bathed in furs.
I have never watched it again.

"And for the record, PETA doesn't throw paint on fur wearers."

That a shame, LOL

my religion teacher made a comment this year about how its wrong for peta to throw paint on peoples coats (and i have a peta2 messanger bag so i think she new i support peta) and i totally flipped out on her saying that isnt done by peta. and i mentioned all the great things peta does for the animals. i actually got a weeks worth of detention for starting a debate and "trouble" but it was worth it cause i made a point. if this scence makes the final cut more people will have negtative views about peta. we have to do something to stop this scene from making the final cut.

as long as she's being condemned for wearing the fur in the movie's storyline, i wouldn't be too ruffled. i mean yeah, we don't throw paint and it sucks that people think of us that way, but if the movie makes samantha jones look idiotic for wearing fur, i'll bear the insults.

Kim Cattrall signed a petition to eliminate the use of "cruel" leghold traps, but I have photos of her wearing mink fur coats :|
It's interesting how people are so mixed on this issue.
Like Kimberly Stewart who used to attend PETA parties.
Or Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford who used to be anti-fur.
Or Kate Moss who signed the compassionate super-models thing, then wore shitloads of fur, then signed up with that company that is against fur, then PETA sent her flowers, then a week later she wore this hideous purple fur for Versace that looked like a grimace outfit.
Or Madonna, sweet sweet Madonna, who used to wear those shirts saying "Ugly people wear fur" - yes I have those pictures also, aswell as 30 pictures of her wearing fur after and before she wore those shirts(ironically she was named by Maxim Magazine as the fourth ugliest female celebrity on the planet, well that's not really irony - that's poetic justice)
Or John Lennon who wanted to give peace a chance, and sung in Imagine "Imagine a world without possessions" - and used the money he received from that song to by an apartment in New York to store his fur coats. People are so hippocritical, just chose a side and stick to it - it's not that hard.

I was disgusted to see a picture of Sarah J. Parker dripping in fur with a caption about the wonderful costumer responsible for this great outfit. I just wonder why an attractive relatively young woman wants to look old and passe. I mean no offense to those who are old by this, but that is what I would like to say to such people. As for their pathetic come-back attempt with this movie, taking cheap shots at PETA is not chic. Is there a slander lawsuit in the works from PETA over this?

Antoinette,
I GREATLY admire you for standing by your convictions!
The teacher's reaction and the outcome just goes to prove that some people fear the truth, and some even feel threatened by it. So it is not uncommon for people like that to try to "hide" or even try to disgrace someone else from telling the truth.
Many an a/r's activists have faced and had to deal with much, much worse re-actions, but nonetheless, you proved to have TREMENDOUS bravery and courage. And - please - don't let anyone ever take that away from you! : )

Posted by: Ariel | November 8, 2007 12:11 PM

Antionette, I am so proud of you for speaking the truth! What your religion teacher failed to mention is how wrong it is to wear fur.

Posted by: Ana | November 8, 2007 01:07 PM

what if the furs were fake. I thought you people thought that was okay.

Posted by: sarah | November 8, 2007 01:26 PM

I'll bet with PETA's lawyers on this they will have to drop this scene or drop out PETA's name which is defamation of character. I'm sure the show's writers thought it was a witty scene but PETA does not throw red paint, PETA uses stickers and cards.

Honestly I think it's great that someone would throw fake blood on fur coats but in reality this just doesn't happen. Too bad.

Posted by: vegan4animals | November 8, 2007 01:39 PM

If anyone get the video of activists throwing paint, post em! It's nice PETA gets more media attention. Its the only way to get our msg across.

Posted by: Niranjan | November 8, 2007 11:35 PM

It's just a movie, and I'm sure they are nothing like the characters they play.

Posted by: Genni | November 9, 2007 12:26 PM

Where are the, "I'm an Asshole, I Wear Leather," labels? Or do we like the near gender specificity of fur? Shades of Virginia Woolf's, "The Plumage Bill," anyone?

Posted by: Anon | November 11, 2007 04:19 AM

I didn't know any of this...as a huge fan of SATC I am very disappointed.

I don't like the "paint thrower" image too much. I have had discussions about animals with alot of shelter workers, rescue people and my birds' vet tech.

And they all give me a similar line. "As long it's not one of those crazy PETA people".

I then point out to them that I am one of those "crazy PETA people".

I *always* love the look on their face*. LOL

I don't know what they expect a "crazy PETA person" to look like but evidently I don't look like one and they are shocked. LOL

I explain why PETA does its' stunts. It's to get people's attention and THINK. I also explain briefly about pet store selling small animals incl. birds (since that's pretty much my "cause" or whatever)

I always like the looks I get when I wear my PETA t-shirt. And I wear it alot, at least I have been lately. It's just comfy. I think people think I'm gonna jump on them or start yelling at them about animals or something.

But I don't think this scene in the movie is going to help...or maybe it will. Maybe we can let people know we are "crazy PETA people" and we really *don't* throw paint etc.

The problem with that is it's only gonna work for those "crazy PETA people" who get out there and have a chance to dispel the image.

Posted by: Tamara | November 11, 2007 02:19 PM

I dunno...I like to think that if John Lennon were alive today he would have gotten rid of all the fur coats.

That happened probably pre-PETA or very early PETA and alot of people just didn't realize.

PETA has made alot of people aware of these issues. Then the people can choose or not choose. Of course we want everyone to choose the compassionate way. And if they don't, PETA keeps making their point and educating.

I'm not making excuses. But I like to think once it was pointed out to him that fur was cruel and unnecessary that he would have done something about it.

Posted by: Tamara | November 12, 2007 08:25 AM

I hate how PETA supporters get a bad name by a few nutty individuals that do go out and act like "terrorist" (as I have heard them been called) I really think that the PETA people who do this are detremental to the message and what peta is really trying to do (This means you Lacey from Rock of Love!!!!) It's hard to be taken seriously when the most noteable news of PETA is when the nutsjobs are acting up again.

Posted by: Colleen | November 12, 2007 02:12 PM

How do you know if they're wearing real fur or not? I wouldn't judge them unless you knew for sure it was real.

Posted by: Melissa | November 12, 2007 07:24 PM

i don't get this. what's wrong about the paint? do you consider the fur coat to be somebody's property?because the way i see it, it is only property of the animal bearing it on his/her skin.

Posted by: me | November 12, 2007 07:43 PM

Isn't using a real organization's name in reference to actions they don't do or condone some form of illegal?

Posted by: Jessica | November 12, 2007 11:36 PM

Well I never liked the show anyway. But why the hell is she wearing fur! Only ugly peoaple wear fur!
GO PETA!

Posted by: Jazmine | November 13, 2007 02:52 AM

I have mixed views about this scene. On the one hand it is not correct information as PETA do not do vandalism, however I feel that it does highlight a fact that wearing fur will make you a target for hot debates and it raises the issues again in the public eye that it is a humanistic faux pas.

Posted by: lisa gass | November 13, 2007 07:48 AM

Wait until we have actually seen the movie and then pass judgement, who knows the storyline may end up condemning the fur industry.

Posted by: EA | November 13, 2007 04:59 PM

im sure people wouldn't be stupid enough to think PETA would acutally throw paint of peoples' fur. they only did that because it would be FUNNY. damn PETA people get so worked up about things.

Posted by: kaitlyn | November 13, 2007 06:08 PM

I LOVE the faux furs this company sells: fabulousfurs.com They are so gorgeous, but even if I could afford to buy a coat, I'd feel like I'd need to wear a sign that said "FAUX" !!! I'm a peta supporter and a vegan, but I'd still feel guilty wearing faux-fur. GO PETA

Posted by: Friend of animals | November 14, 2007 01:14 PM

The coat probably is not animal fur. And, Antoinette, I loved how you stood up to your teacher. And I love all you PETA & animal supporters.

I seem to remember when Pink was getting an award from PETA she mentioned that we throw paint on people. I believe its a general misconception to throw PETA followers in with that group. You have to admit though that it does get into the headlines and have people thinking about it. Once that happens people talk about it. Maybe just one person will change their view on fur or who knows will even start being a vegetarian. It might actually be worth it just to get the message out there to that one person, cause who knows how many others that one will touch.

Posted by: melissa | November 20, 2007 08:38 AM

I think that PETA is bogus for throwing paint on people fur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: karsen | January 9, 2008 11:03 AM

I think peta should be outraged by this... it makes a mockery of the anti-fur campaign. the ruining of a fur coat would make them go and buy another one.

Posted by: Tanner | May 22, 2008 09:04 PM

I just saw the trailer for the movie, looked all over the internet for an avenue to complain to In Line Cinema or HBO and found none.

I will not be seeing this movie. I am sickened that these stars can make light of the cruelty of fur.

Posted by: Cheryl Williams | June 8, 2008 07:19 PM

I think it's silly to ruin a perfectly lovely fur coat. Wouldn't it be better to prevent their production than ruin ones that have already been produced?

Such a waste.

Posted by: B. Kramer | June 9, 2008 12:50 PM

sjp and kim cattrall do not wear real fur in real life

Posted by: froggy | July 3, 2008 03:03 AM

I was watching with my husband when it just came out on video adn was sort of enjoying the movie (not too much though because the movie itself is pretty lame) and after that scene made fur protesters look like wackjobs it ruined the rest of it for me and I couldn't even focus on the storyline.

Posted by: tjep | October 1, 2008 08:34 PM

Real fur or not, once that scene came on, i could have cared less about watching the rest of the movie. It was ignorant. If anything good came out of it, it would spark interest to a viewer who might want to visit the PETA site and would find out who we really are and what we do. The world needs to know we aren't crazy!
