Another GREAT idea PETA! Some of Sharon's words about China were spiritually true. A good thing would be to use her own words against her very own soul, that is, the reasons why she is horribly NOT balancing her own Karma.

Posted by: Gerry | July 3, 2008 10:54 AM

funny and all but i dont think that is going to get her to stop wearing fur.

Posted by: gavin | July 3, 2008 11:28 AM

Even if she doesn't care about animals, she should stop wearing fur because that fat thing she is holding is a fashion crime!

Posted by: NT | July 3, 2008 12:18 PM

You know the old saying, sticks and "stones" may break my bones but names will never hurt me. Well that saying is appling to Ms. Stone for her lack of spirit. Timely letter Ingrid but we only hope she can find it within herself to make changes to her lifestyle that will help decrease the suffering of so many helpless animals. I don't know about you BUT... Trollsen Twins' mother??

VERY NICE! SHE NEEDS TO QUIT WEARING ALL THE FUR CRUELTY, OR SHE IS GOING TO BE IN HELL

Posted by: liliana | July 3, 2008 01:45 PM

Sharon Stone is a washed up hag and the only publicty she is getting is from PETA. That's why she's doing it. That's how evil she is. Without PETA noticing she will fad into obscurity. Let her, PETA.

Posted by: pam | July 3, 2008 02:56 PM

Do you really think Stone will respond to that ridiculous letter? I never liked her and especially since she wears fur but come on! Do you really think she'll take you up on your offer? That will make her even madder and she will continue wearing fur just to spite you.

Posted by: Rex's Mom | July 3, 2008 03:16 PM

This ugly cold hearted piece of shit will never change. She is a nasty human being. She sold her soul years ago, she's just really a nasty person. No amount of surgery will ever help her.
Humans without a soul cannot be helped! But I do applaud PETA'S tenacity. Way to go!

Peace for all animals!

Insulting people only allienates them and serves to discredits your message.

Posted by: jay | July 3, 2008 04:10 PM

Sharon Stone is devoid of a soul, of compassion or empathy. Her surname suits her prefectly. Having seen her interviewed many times, how she gloats & mocks the mothers of the children she purchased, so she doesn't have to give birth herself, it is clear that she cares for no one or nothing but her own greedy wants and shallow needs. She comes across as pure cold "stone" evil. Hell is beckoning her I am sure.

Posted by: SW | July 3, 2008 06:09 PM

The letter and the money involved for Stone is a waste of time. She's a waste. Ignore her; a complete has been and just a nasty thing.

Posted by: Soliel | July 3, 2008 06:25 PM

don't particularly want to mention this.. but didn't she have a brain haerrmorhage or some sort quite a while ago?. she had a dizzy spell and fell and hurt her head.. and it turned out to be some brain haemmorhage and was life threatening.. gulp! Sharon.. could it. would it have been KARMA??.. and she was saved by surgeons operating on this particular part of her cranium.. you konw it's such a pity this cold hearted creature doesn't have or share the same compassion for animals that those surgeons who saved her life had for her ).. you konw.. I think that brain scan could be a seriously good idea afterall..

Posted by: lizc | July 3, 2008 06:36 PM

Someone should pretend like they are going to scalp her,and see how she feels about being brutalized for no good reason.

Posted by: Christine | July 3, 2008 06:50 PM

I agree that insulting people to the extreme will
only discredit our intentions
and people will not take PETA seriously. People have stressed that to me knowing I am a member. Not that it will change how I feel about people with no regard to helpless animals.

Posted by: Debbie Libby | July 3, 2008 07:10 PM

Although this on the surface seems like just another bizarre PETA celeb obsession, the neuroscience of morality is an extremely hot new subject.

This is intriguing, but it's just so incredibly complicated. One brain scan of one spoiled celebrity does not a theory make.

To prove the hypothesis right, Newkirk would need to hire (ahem....) real neuroscientists and professionals to do studies on many people. It would take years to prove the correlation.

Posted by: Maya, CVT | July 3, 2008 07:47 PM

I don't think Peta is insulting Sharon Stone. Peta is trying to help her, because she may be, indeed, a sick woman. There is a possibility she was influenced by her role in that idiot movie she plays a murderer. Being cruel in the movies, made her rich and famous. So, she decided to remain with that sad image of herself. It happens a lot, when the person is not too clever. She doesn't look like an intelligent person. Now, I am not sure she is going to hell after death. I don't know if there is a hell. Besides, it will be too late. It would be better if she tastes "hell", or something like that, while alive. For instance: start a huge campaign not to watch any of his movies. Make her movies flop. Tell Hollywood producers, we will boycott. If she starts loosing money, she may think twice. She may wake up. I, myself, have already started saying no to any movies on which she is on. Of course, the campaign goes for other actresses and actors.

Posted by: Virginia Abreu de Paula | July 3, 2008 11:16 PM

Your remarks as well as the brain scan in here are actually quite cruel to tell you the truth. Give her time to come around and completely understand... she has also been through some horrible times herself you know! If you choose to treat people like you do in this post then you are no better then the animal torturors.

Posted by: joe | July 4, 2008 01:38 AM

I read somewhere that Stone had recently converted to Buddhism. If true, she's going to have to get those mirror neurons firing. She may find herself one day looking out from an animal's eyes in desperate need of empathy. Karma, baby!

Posted by: lynda downie | July 4, 2008 01:49 AM

True, more work needs to be done but it's not a stretch for Ingrid to claim that MRI scans detect activity in certain brain regions (particularly the anterior insula and inferior frontal cortex) when test subjects experience emotions and observe another experience emotions. There is strong support for a neural basis for empathy.

Posted by: lynda downie | July 4, 2008 02:30 AM

what a heartless bitch. has she seen the horrendous things that happen to the lovely little creatures she is wearing!!!! i've watched most of the peta videos and nothing has upset me quite as much as the skinned face of that little racoon dog. what a waste of life. i hope every one involved in this goes straight to hell

Posted by: Daphne | July 4, 2008 11:11 AM

People like Sharon Stone and Jessica Simpson deserve to be insaulted. They're asking for it. They get some kind of twisted thrill out of it. They are very deluded people making lots of money with a measurable degree of influence over people and culture. I prefer culture for the good and I'm not afraid to say it.

As for the mean people who don't take PETA seriously their discrediting themselves and the planet, our culture, and their spirits. Life is not an accident, life is not a joke. This planet was a beautiful place that is being destroyed by greed and gluttony and vanity and lust for animal flesh and the wrath from the people that are gonna kick your A$$ for doin it. Jesus Christ folks how many years of collage did it take to get this stupid? Collectively.

What about sloth and waste, filth! And I think this is the part that really makes the devil laugh. Theyre proud of it, proud of their accomplishment, they wrap it up in a pretty bow and sell it. Award prizes to their inhumanity. Entire industries devoted to madness.

Fur is wrong, but even if the picture of her was faux fur, it's ugly, atrocious looking on her, and adds about 25 years to her age. How many animals were killed to make that big pile of fur, horrible. Stone is the ultimate movie star narcisstic bitch who seems to be getting even more selfish & hateful with age.

Posted by: Gina | July 4, 2008 05:38 PM

Posted by: Rainbow Warrior | July 5, 2008 03:54 AM

She wont stop wearing fur because to her it is bringing attention, no one would take any notice of her. This type of person doesn't care about anything else but themselves. Tell her she smells from that fur coat, she will catch a disease, get flies and more(we know that isn't the case) but she is stupid, she will probably believe it.

Posted by: Jaquie | July 5, 2008 09:58 AM

Yes, there is something wrong with Sharon Stone-heart. Any human that has no compassion is sick in the head. The good thing is she's terribly ugly, gross, and washed out so we won't be seeing much more of this fur hag. Maybe she has the beginning stages of CJD (mad cow disease), holes in the brain have eaten out the part of the brain that experiences empathy. I'd hate to see a picture of her soul. I pity her ugly soul.

Posted by: vegan4animals | July 5, 2008 11:00 AM

Rainbow Warrior, Wow, it is true, I just went there.
I am going to leave a message to them asking them if they give her free fur in exchange for her putrid voice. We need to slam them very, very hard! Hit them hard with our emails.

Peace for all animals!

Posted by: Judith | July 5, 2008 02:50 PM

This is absolute crap. You go after Sharon Stone like she killed someone. And dont give me this "she kills animals" rubbish, cause then you need to be prepared to condemn to "hell" 95% of society. I see no mention on this blog about Zimbabwe or Tibet or any of the other countless atrocities against humanity. Fair enough have your say about animal rights but temper you hatred with a dose of reality. Also what is PETA's obsession with celebrities. Most of these people live shallow self serving lives. Come take a walk in the real world.

Posted by: jay | July 5, 2008 05:23 PM

what the hell is she wearing?? that is disgusting. the way she behaves and flaunts all of her furs around reminds me of Jennifer Lopez. she too is a reckless wearer of slaughtered animals. is no one learning yet?? love the letter that was sent to her. would be more fabulous if she took Ingrid up on her offer.

Posted by: Kris Shulfer | July 5, 2008 06:06 PM

Sharon Stone, J-Ho (aka Jennifer Lopez), ghetto boy P. Diddy, or whatever his alias happens to be this year, and countless other celebrities and non-celebrities who wear fur are filthy excuses for a human being. They are all vile and useless people who evidently can't empathize with an animal that is trapped, caged, beaten over the head and skinned alive, only to be used for some vain asshole's look of the weak (pun intended!).

Posted by: Aleksandra | July 6, 2008 03:11 AM

Shes jUSt washed up as an actor and void of any humanity...same as with eveyday humans who have chosen to wrap their bodies in fur, leather and feathers for the their own self centered egos...
FUR IS WRONG...PERIOD AND WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT CHINA WAS JUST MISSING ONE SMALL POINT......HUMANS DO NOT SKIN LIVE ANIMALS....AS IF SHE THOUGHT TIBETANS WERE ANY BETTER...THEY ALL COME FROM THE SAME CULTURE AND MIND SET JUST LIKE THE PHILLIPINES AND KOREANS.

DONT PATRONIZE STONE, KOREANS OR CHINESE PRODUCTS EVER LET THEM FALL AND PAY FOR THEIR SINS

Posted by: r | July 6, 2008 10:58 AM

I can understand if people are ignorant, but ignorance is not applicable to Sharon Stone. I'm sure she knows the cruelty she supports; I am only to assume she doesn't care. Someone should wear her skin, then she would know how it felt to be skinned alive.

Posted by: Marjorie Hass | July 6, 2008 09:19 PM

I understand why PETA focuses on celebrities, although I still think they put too much emphasis on them. Celebrities are admired around the world, and whatever message they spout or whatever piece of junk they're wearing is sacred and trend-setting. I doubt, though, that anyone would want to emulate some of Stone's style choices, like her rat paw lapel.

Maybe she should just watch a video of how animals in the fur industry are treated. It's amazing to me that this industry is even legal since it revolves around extreme torture. Animal cruelty is illegal in the United States, so why is fur okay? I just don't get it.

Posted by: Anna | July 7, 2008 03:28 AM

jay: maybe my words shall astonish you but imagine that i am an animal rights fighter and in the same time an avid fighter for human rights! you can't have one thing without the other! a crime is a crime! we humans have no knowledge about other species' thoughts and feelings and the secrets of this planet and universe! our selfish antropocentrism has just come out of the shadow of our own limited brains like visions of angels and devils - which are nothing else than psychedelic delirium caused by drugs, old age, illness or religious fanatism! it is not up to humans to put animals and other living beings under their feet because such statements and others coming from well-known ancient scriptures are just psychedelic fantasy and very dangerous.....but have no real consistence - don't build a world into the void!

Posted by: FREE TIBET | July 7, 2008 11:03 AM

I love the letter PETA sent Stone. It was mean and insulting, and makes any person who would wear fur realize that they too could be the object of such revulsion and hostility.

People often don't do the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do-- they have to be shamed into or forced into doing the right thing. Peer pressure greatly determines people's actions.

For example: What's business like for pet stores/ fur shops/ KFC on the days there are protests outside the entrance? How many people are willing to walk through the protesters and listen to their insults/ comments?

How many people are willing to be accused of having something wrong with their brain?!

LOL!

I'm sure Sharon Stone is doing this for the attention. No rational person would wear a rat paw on their suit or carry at giant blanket of fur. The only way she is not forgotten is by being outrageously dumb and/ or cruel-- then she gets press coverage and people say, "oh, yeah. Sharon Stone."

Posted by: Bice | July 7, 2008 12:54 PM

Actually, the comment about china, I believe is a good one. China lacks the empathy and I think that PETA of all people should believe that being that are no animal welfare policies in play in china and skin the majority of the animals people wear alive. As soon as that event occured in China I thought the same thing Sharon did, they deserve it for all the wildlife they traffic in, kill and use and all the anaimals they skin alive and torture. Now I dont believe all people are like that in China and most of the people who dies in the earthquake were not affilated with the fur industry, I still think that Mamma Nature is MAD at us for that way we are treatign the aniamls and thier envirpnments. China takes down 25 million trees per year to make CHOPSTICKS alone for crying out loud. Nobody is perfect though, but yes, Sharon is discusting! Whta kind of fur is that anyway???

Posted by: CORIE | July 7, 2008 03:36 PM

you wouldn't turn a blind eye if you saw a man, woman or a child being skinned alive or electrocuted in the street.. in which case being.. why would it be any different for a defenceless animal.. ? going thorugh the same pain, fear and torture? .. oh.! SS.. she's mentally sick.. there HAS to be something wrong with this person as she is totally devoid of basic compassion and sympathy.. not to mentoin totally incapable of feeling EMPATHY for others yes.. and especially including animals..

Nice stuff, Ingrid! Tip: on the PDF file, if one selects the text she/he can still see your phone number. You should delete it, unless you can afford a legion of fur-wearing morons getting their free scan on you!

Sad words those of Sharon's. And I wonder: if leaders' actions were to be punished through natural disasters on their people, what would be the retaliation in store for US citizens after Georgie-boy's tour of carnage on Iraq?

@CORIE:

Wow!!! So long for sympathy and stuff.

Damn sure those freaking kids deserved to die at the earthquake!!

Besides... they're Chinese right? it's not like they're human beings or something.

So compassionate for animals, so careless about homo sapiens in pain... just like that Brigitte Bardot nazi piece of crap.

She has millions of fans in the world and insulting such an animal rights and cinema icon is provoking angry statements - that should be clear because everyone who's defending animals loves personalities like BB, Pam, Alicia Silverstone, Sir Paul or Jorja Fox, Emily Deschanel and many other famous animal advocates and it's hurting also my feelings to read bad things against them! Or if you can't stand our icons you should not spend your time on here - if you don't want to learn anything about a humane way of life and a healthy nutrition - so why are you losing time with us because i think if you would have some real honest interests on a new lifestyle you would be more polite, isn't it!!!

carol M..

(deeply deeply abominable I also agree it is) sorry.. but it doens't add up.. if it's true about 'country karma' ie. people suffering for the wrongs of it's country tehn dont' you think Germany would have been blown off the map by now?.. for what they did to so many Jews?

Posted by: lynn | July 17, 2008 04:30 PM

Seems to me that she has many of the characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Total lack of empathy is one of the key symptoms. There's no cure for it. It would be interesting, though, to see how her brain differs from the norm.

Posted by: Carol | July 17, 2008 04:32 PM

Sharon Stone, as a narcissistic, wealthy actress, overly inflated with her self importance offers little substance for anyone. Unfortunately, we see the "punishment" doled out at random to these innocent animals. I don't trust God to make this right with Sharon Stone either.

They try to say that there is no suffering,especially with farmed animals!! Well that is just as abhorrant as the street markets in China, and far east. Life of animals has no more respect than the life of a human being.

Posted by: Blacktiger | July 17, 2008 04:44 PM

Peta...
don't waste your money on this selfish screwed up old has been. She can't act, has no heart, care or compassion for anything. She looks hideous in this picture too, I feel very sad for her and her lack of respect for creatures. Her shallowness and sickly single minded oblivion is where you must leave her, but of course let's not forget to keep her in a cage, electrocute or skin her alive first...then I bet she changes her attitude.....

Posted by: Jan Graveson | July 17, 2008 04:46 PM

You know, I get so angry when I see pictures with people wearing fur. But I'm not going to let them affect me. If some people are incorrigible, forget it!

Posted by: Jalpa | July 17, 2008 04:47 PM

Although I totally agree about not wearing fur- I think that sending a letter like that and writing an article like this is a little tasteless. It makes PETA look bad- like if you're not going to listen to me then I'm going to start calling you names. PETA don't bring yourself down to her level.

Posted by: Jessica | July 17, 2008 04:49 PM

Way to go PETA! I am amazed at Sharon Stone's actions of wearing a fur, I thought any high profile would know better, whether they care about cruelty to animals or not, as to not want to upset her fans that do care..
Well, a fan of Sharon Stone I am no longer!!! She just made herself ugly in 2 seconds flat.
Down with fur and down with Sharon Stone I say!!! Ban the two of them.
Go PETA!!!! Thank you on behalf of all that love animals.

Posted by: lina goldstein | July 17, 2008 04:51 PM

I guess Sharon only has compassion for people with aids, not animals that are skinned alive and tortured so she can look like the self centered aging Hollywood actress that she is. I hope she realizes she is wrong and will stop wearing fur, but I doubt it. I think she'll become even more defensive in response to Ingrid's letter. She and J. Lo should hang out -- both fur skanks.

Posted by: April | July 17, 2008 04:51 PM

Why so many people hate her. She is not doing any different than Hollywood in general... not only cruelty to animals, how about to children and women, violence degradation, rape, incest etc. Hollywood has bred new bread of evil and violent people. How about animals you eat, how they have been treated pumped with steroids etc. kept in dark so the meat is tender for the fat bellies. Just couple of days I have seen a clip Geese for fois gras, made me sad and sick in my stomack. Horor, I will never eat that stuff. You people out there do not trow the stone on another person before you examine your own style of life. Sharon Stone and others like her should take a look at Brigitte Bardot, she gave everything for her love genuine love for the animals. She gave up her movies at the top of her game, all her money (not much for usa standards)goes to her cause animals. she found her cause beyond movie industry. Let say that was easier for her as European she had values. Ms Stone and others value self ego, without that they would not be able to exist and do job they do. How about Angelina Jolie she is so proud of her Wanted movie, that is piece of garbage 120+ minute of violence, and she is waiting for her adopted sons to grow up so that they can see that movie Mom is so proud of. People we can start changing all this, clean your house first, and than the rest. There is HOPE for us and animals and the air etc.
Thank you all who read my comment, also check the video "geese" for fois gras, etc

While I don't agree with Stone's comments, I would hope PETA would demonstrate a higher level of professionalism. I'm a bit put off by this "scan" suggestion, which only makes PETA look petty and caddy. I want to support PETA, but the level to which they/we disagree with someone else's comments/actions need to be addressed with integrity and leadership. We will cannot influence others by acting like adolescents.

Posted by: Renee | July 17, 2008 05:00 PM

As important as I think educating people on animal cruelty is, even if she decides to take you up on the offer (which I dought she will), don't you think that would be an complete waste of funds that could go to more important things?

Posted by: Raela | July 17, 2008 05:01 PM

She is either mentally retarded or a very cruel person who have no empathy for pain and suffering of other creatures. People like that tend to be like that with people too and not only with animals, they are so dangerous

Posted by: GIANNINA | July 17, 2008 05:02 PM

That is an amazing letter! It really makes her look like the fool that she is! These "women" who have children etc, then wear fur! I, most times, cannot believe it! How can mothers be so insensitive?! Just because she has money - just the cost of one fur coat could feed a small city for a day!!!

Posted by: Heather | July 17, 2008 05:02 PM

I agree, she's awful, but the prefrontal cortex is not responsible for emotions (you would need to look deeper at the amygdala and limbic region).

Posted by: V. | July 17, 2008 05:04 PM

Does nobody remember that Sharon Stone is a big advocate for HIV / AIDS and GLBT causes?! Or does this contradict your argument. Sending sarcastic letters to Sharon Stones agent is not going to do anything positive (for you). I dont agree with wearing fur, feather, whatever..but does it really validate shooting off an obnoxious letter to her agent which she will probably ignore anyway? Even if she agreed, its a a complete waste of PETA funds...is this really where you want your donations to be going to ?

Posted by: fongool, im sandra | July 17, 2008 05:06 PM

I agree SS comes across as an uncaring, callous, idiot. I agree she should be called out for wearing such a tragically unnecessary atrocity. I do not agree with equating her behavior with brain damage. That is NOT what causes her to make poor choices. Most people with brain damage would never do something as stupid and cruel as wearing a bunch of dead animals as a fashion accessory. And while I think she probably meant to hold China accountable for their incredible infringement on human rights (and not insult the millions of innocent people and animals effected by the disaster), there is no excuse for wearing this. I also agree, PETA is the only thing keeping her in the limelight right now. Otherwise, she's a stone left unturned.

Posted by: wleec | July 17, 2008 05:06 PM

While I support PETA in general, I am disappointed with this article.

It is inappropriate particularly since it is known that Sharon Stone had a brain injury several years ago.

How do you expect to promote sensitivity towards animals by being insensitive in this manner?

I hope PETA sees the light and removes this article.

Posted by: Dee | July 17, 2008 05:07 PM

I met Sharon Stone when she was touring for John Kerry in the 2004 election. Her compassion seems to be human animals only. There are those who just cannot extend their circle of compassion to other living beings other than humans. She made a haul buying furs in Norway not too terribly long ago. I doubt that she is one who will ever change and other stars like Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, still wear fur.

Posted by: Dennis Lee Cleven | July 17, 2008 05:10 PM

The only fur she should wear was revealed in an interogation room in Basic Instinct.

Posted by: Doug | July 17, 2008 05:12 PM

That is only logic when people eat meat, egg, fish and milk, etc..
Even if you don't wear fur, it doesn't mean you don't make suffer many animals !!!
Maybe it should be better to go to the root of the problem.
Learning people what they have to do to go VEGAN in a modern world. A vegan won't wear Fur !!
Have you send her a VEGAN starting Kit ???
By the way i think vegetarian is FAKE !!!

Posted by: Jean Laurin | July 17, 2008 05:13 PM

I have noticed that the level of hostlity in this thread seems to be directly proportional to the level of illiteracy in the poster. Attacking people who don't meet your moral standards will not only distance you from the very person you'd like to change, it will also change the distance at which others place you from their own heart. Try using kindness and intellect delivered with the compassion you profess to possess. No situation was ever made better by getting angry. "When your opponent resorts to name-calling, you've won the argument".

Posted by: Michael | July 17, 2008 05:15 PM

Sharon Stone has always been a big, mediocre fake not to be taken seriously. This well known fact has probably fueled her conscious endorsement of unspeakable cruelty to animals. Her bad taste, lack of talent and shallow emotional IQ only serves to make her as irrelevant as ever. Sorry, sweetie - this is a new millennium. The only thing more passe than you is fur.

Posted by: Elizabeth | July 17, 2008 05:16 PM

Just FYI... There are cortical areas involved in modulating lower areas of the brain though, so scanning those would be good.

Posted by: Lesley Millward | July 17, 2008 05:18 PM

Sharon Stone is about as cold-hearted as they come. The woman can barely act, barely looks good, and is barely a human being. She should be using what little Hollywood influence she has to maybe help out the ppl in China instead of laughing at them, perhaps save a couple thousand animals instead of killing them, and make an actual difference rather than breaking the record for 'Most Razzies Won"

Posted by: amber | July 17, 2008 05:20 PM

Sharon Stone is a cruel and insensitive human being. If she does infact have a brain defect then she needs to have a lobotomy. If she doesn't have a brain defect then she's just a piece of garbage. Maybe she should be skinned and an animal can wear her skin..

Posted by: epistar | July 17, 2008 05:21 PM

This is ludicrious. Do you really think that stunts like this are going to forward the cause? It makes PETA look like the fanatical moronic individuals that the opposition puts them out to be. If you are going to waste the money to verbally slander another human being, because they do not reach your standards to be deemed worthy in thier actions...then why would PETA have issues with individuals that treat animals cruelly because they consider them inferior? Think before you speak or act.

Posted by: Ericka W. | July 17, 2008 05:23 PM

Stooping to the level of insulting individuals who wear fur or eat meat is counter-productive and unprofessional. I expect better from Peta and it's members.

Spend the money on the animals, NOT Sharon Stone!!!

Posted by: Maureen D. Lahti | July 17, 2008 05:25 PM

She is a big disappointment to me as I use to like her. She is cold blooded and none caring for anyone but herself.
She probably thinks the furs make her look glamorous.
She and the other "Stars" who wear furs are living in the past when people didn't realize the suffering of animals or didn't care due to their lack of compassion. (she being in the latter group)

Posted by: Angela | July 17, 2008 05:26 PM

Everyone -complaining-shut-up.Yes she should not wear fur but at least she does not skin them alive and eat dogs and cats the way china people do.

Posted by: tktkr | July 17, 2008 05:27 PM

Has anyone actually seen those children after she adopted them? Or has she had them skinned and made into handbags and shoes?! It wouldn't surprise me.

Cold hard heartless woman. I feel sorry for her. But I feel more sorry for those poor animals that had to endure a horrible short life and a horrific death for her whims.

GO PETA

Posted by: jamia abston | July 17, 2008 05:28 PM

I read the letter sent to Sharon Stone and I am of the opinion that you get more bees with honey...if you get my drift. Why insult her, why not try to educate or recruit her? She might not have seen those videos sent to her agents(?) The viciousness I see typed on this page makes me think that PETA members are ONLY sympathetic toward animals and NOT humans.

The new Peta ads I have seen, with celebrities have made a difference in the World Opinion about animal cruelty and being vegan or vegetarian. Why not convert through positive messages rather than negative ones. I am vegan. I do not eat animal products. I do not wear fur, but I do live in a World where others are NOT of the same mind...and we all have to find a way to live together without killing each other over our choices in life. Try to educate others, rather than shove your opinions down their throats.

Perhaps Jessica Simpson doesn't realize what meat is doing to her body, or how the cows are treated and slaughtered for her to enjoy her steak. She is young and probably not really all that smart if her reality show was for real! She is dating a Dallas Cowboy and singing Country Songs now...she sees nothing wrong with meat. Isn't it our job to show her the errors of her way? But with kindness and compassion….the same compassion you might have for an animal?

The EXACT same thing cannot be said of Sharon Stone, as she is not young, singing Country songs or dating a Dallas Cowboy...but she is undoubtedly ill-informed or she would NOT be wearing fur. She is obviously going through some traumatic emotional experience, as well. Championing the Dali Lama, who is all about love and peace, and then saying China deserved the earthquake. She is not stable, obviously. OH yes and then there is that thing about her brain surgery! We shouldn't send her insulting letters, Perhaps instead we should send her some more information about the fur industry. As I stated above, maybe she was never shown the videos that were sent to her offices. Or she could just be cold-hearted! But either way, who are we to say such horrible things about someone we actually DO NOT know personally? If you declare yourself to be the kind of person who loves animals and cares about their welfare, shouldn't that extent to all creatures....human, as well? What goes around does indeed, come around and if we put out hatred, that is what comes back to us. “Turn the Other Cheek” does not mean take more abuse, it means take a different viewpoint…look at the issue differently.

Posted by: Sandy | July 17, 2008 05:28 PM

what as shame i have to use a disclaimer anytime i mention
that I am a "PETA" member. If several radical environmental orgs have evolved to the point of understanding that these tactics are counter productive to the cause, why can't PETA?

So many great deeds can be so easily undone by a single misguided one.

I remain committed to the cause but am ashamed that Ingrid has not yet evolved to a higher level and continues to act out like a spoiled child when absolutely EVERYONE does not march to her drum. It only turns those who may yet be on the "veggie" fence away.

Posted by: ds | July 17, 2008 05:29 PM

I truly believe that Sharon Stone has a mental illness. Either that or she is completely high on drugs most of the time that she doesn't quite know that the things she does is wrong. There is no other explaination. On the other hand - She might just be possessed by the devil. That would make sense.

Posted by: Kristen | July 17, 2008 05:31 PM

Fur is worn by beautiful animals and UGLY PEOPLE!! I agree that previous problem with her brain still exists. She obviously needs to revisit her surgeon to find out if her condition has caused her to lack compassion for other beings. People need to boycott her pictures and write her scathing letters regarding her bizarre dressing habits. Also, that high IQ she was stated to possess must have been a gross error as her mentality doesn't seem to reach double digits.

Posted by: Linda Seville | July 17, 2008 05:33 PM

funny and most of it is true, but P.E.T.A. does not have to offer cruel words to other people, even if they are doing horrible things. P.E.T.A. gives P.E.T.A. a bad name.

Posted by: Alex Carbonell | July 17, 2008 05:36 PM

i am so angry that we humans, the "smartest" creatures are so stupid to make a animal become endangered for its fur or be hunted for its fur. i thought we were smarter than that.shame on ANYONE who thinks for even a second that fur is a ok thing to wear. at least the indians used the fur to keep warm not for stupid fashion. as for sharon i am shamed for her. why would she do that? though maybe its fake fur. we should make fur wearing illegal. and waitaholdit, i agree we should go after the people that kil the animal for the fur but when people buy the fur its telling the hunters and skinners that its ok for them to kill the animals,so buying the fur is a horrible thing to do also ok?

Posted by: summer | July 17, 2008 05:37 PM

a bit extreme. wearing fur is so haggard.. that money used for a mri scan can be spent for better purposes.. and that comment left in the beginning by William Gillen LOL.. wow your calling PETA a bunch of losers then why are you even responding to the website haha why dont you settle down there and find some other site to bash.. loser.

Posted by: Lorena | July 17, 2008 05:37 PM

Dear PETA,

Please refraim from insulting individuals in getting your important message out. It only gives a bad impression on the organization by making PETA look adolescent and immature.

I believe very strongly in what you stand for and have supported you for years...but I cringe when I read pieces like this. I don't want to be associated with this type of lynching.

If we are always kind and compassionate, we'll get our message out more successfully and reach far more people than if we use violent and blaming language.

I think positivity it the way to bring animal cruelty to an end. Sending a letter to sharon asking her if there is something wrong with her brain, isn't what will help her to change. Peta stooped to her level. She should be confronted with facts and a good heart.

Anyone who thinks this is crazy and not good for Peta is CRAZY. Anything & Everything they do to get people thinking & talking about animals rights is amazing. Sometimes it is this kind of stuff that gets the people who would not normally care, to think about it!

Posted by: CC | July 17, 2008 05:48 PM

Sharon is a deadbeat. She can't act her way out of a wet paper bag. Her taste for dead animals as fashion is unforgiveable. China? Who cares about China. Every documentary I see about China makes me sick. Their crimes against animals is well known.

Posted by: Jayne | July 17, 2008 05:49 PM

I found the letter to be very well-written. Honestly, someone who behaves like Sharon does probably won't respond to this or change in any way, but i like the effort. Who knows, maybe it will be a slap in the face that will wake her up.

Posted by: Andy | July 17, 2008 05:53 PM

This, imo, is ridiculous. The snide little remarks and condescending tone do nothing to hurt Ms. Stone, but make PETA look immature.

You guys need to realize that you're doing too much, and spreading yourselves waaaaay too thin. Concentrate on one thing at a time, and that way the general public won't think you're all insane.

Posted by: cassie | July 17, 2008 05:54 PM

i get peta's newsletter for the info and not because i condone abusiveness in the name of compassion humanity and harmony. i became a vegitarian because peta showed me cruelty to animals-not people. look at this blog to learn what you're inspiring-disapproval and nastiness. the means and the ends are one and the same.

Posted by: christian gagnon | July 17, 2008 05:56 PM

It's a stupid idea and I don't want to be disturbed anymore whit this things.
You had better pay a scan to the president of your country to find out what happens in his brain.
President Bush invades countries all over the world where people and animals die (in spite of the fact that he doesn't exhibit their furs).
And if companion animals miss their soldiers, it is because they are fighting in injust and illegal wars.

Posted by: Alicia Monteagudo | July 17, 2008 05:56 PM

I met Sharon once and he is every bit the movie star she presents herself to be. But the way she has been wearing rabbits feet, furs etc ., has made me sick .
How can she be a humanitarian and at the same time do this.
Don't blame it on being a Texan either Sharon.
Shame on You!

Brilliant idea! Sadly, I think this will just upset her and she'll continue to wear fur...and will probably kick a puppy if she sees one just to spite PETA!
I think she's washed up and nobody has cared about her for years (as if they cared that much in the 1st place!)
I really hope she reads these ;)

I don't condone Sharon Stone or anyone else wearing fur, but the amount of hatred I see in these comments and within PETA itself is pretty disgusting too.
Have the courage to post this comment, PETA.

Posted by: Owen | July 17, 2008 06:12 PM

Dear Ingrid,

I feel it discredits PETA to make such an offer to Sharon Stone. If one truly believes in "bad" Karma, as she attributes what happend in China to, then her indifference to human and animal suffering should come back to affect her in some negative way.

I think PETA's time, money and efforts would be better spent dealing directly with those who torture and kill defenseless animals for profit.

I admire what PETA has done to benefit animal welfare, but this seems like a juvenile method of trying to make a point. It gives people permission to bash someone mercilessly that they disagree with.

Again, I would appreciate it if you would continue to focus on the actual perpetrators of animal cruelty.

Thank you.

Posted by: Deborah | July 17, 2008 06:14 PM

Sharon needs to relize it is inhumane to still be wearing fur in this day and age and the ASIANS are the biggest offedners and biggest exporters of this barbaric torture, along with DESIGNERS DONNA KARAN AND HER FAT ASS ALONG WITH MICHAEL KORS PLEASE DO NOT BUY AND FUR FROM ANY DESIGNER THIS HAS TO STOP!!!!! SHARON STONE PATTY LABELLE JLO DON'T LOOK GLAMEROUS WEARING SKIS OF INNOCENT ANIMALS.

Posted by: jacqueline | July 17, 2008 06:18 PM

You know, the "old hag" "cougar" and "ugly" nasty comments about her rotting in hell/etc. make me reconsider whether I really want to be a PETA member. If this is the sort of hate people are feeling, why would I want to be part of this org? I do not support animal cruelty, am a vegetarian, avoid leather and animal products--but this wasn't always so. My youngest daughter "taught" me in a loving and compassionate manner just a few years ago...for this as my "peer group" good luck on the recruitment.

Posted by: Christine | July 17, 2008 06:19 PM

I have met and worked with Sharon Stone and, unfortunately, found her to be mean spirited, insecure, highly immature and not particularly intelligent. Apparently, her near death experience did not do much to change any of that.

Posted by: Briar Rose | July 17, 2008 06:20 PM

I don't know why she doesn't understand animals . She acts like a pig in some of her movies and spreads her legs like a giraffe so she really should have compassion for her fellow creatures .Come on Sharon ..say "Bah" for me .

Posted by: Joseph Zani | July 17, 2008 06:24 PM

Old Shaza Stone looks 20 years older wearing that fur, someone must tell her this.

I think she is doing it to get some publicity, I mean it is not like her career has been anything special for the last however long.

To be honest I think she looks utterly out dated and rediculous wrapped in dead animals. Lets hope she starts educating herself as to exactly how that fur became her outfit.

Posted by: Stephanie Dyer | July 17, 2008 06:25 PM

It makes me sad to see my fellow animal lovers at each others throats over this issue of some movie star's choice to wear fur. We all agree wearing fur is wrong. We all agree Sharon Stone exhibits a profound lack of empathy with animals by wearing fur. Where we differ is in how to deal with it. Personally, I agree with those who say insulting celebrities is a waste of PETA's resources, not to mention that it's not exactly in the spirit of trying to educate people and hopefully bring about a change of heart. A protest is different in that it focuses on the practice (wearing fur, eating meat, etc), provides information, and makes people think about something they may not have thought about before. Attacking and insulting an individual is not productive, since it is likely to make the target more defensive, angry and spiteful. In the eyes of others it may even give them "victim" status--the last thing we should want! It also makes the one hurling the insults look bad, and reinforces the stereotype of animal rights people as a bunch of marginal, and possibly dangerous, fanatics. If you want to talk about karma, begin with yourself. Hatred begets hatred. Let's make a difference in the world, let's change things by being the voice of compassion and reason. Let's be the change we want to see.

Posted by: Kathleen | July 17, 2008 06:27 PM

What a b-tch, How would she feel if we pull her skin of off her and run around with hers.. jesus people like her must be banned from the whole planet! They must feel what the animals felt when people got their skinn off off them!

Posted by: Nathalie | July 17, 2008 06:28 PM

I am very sad to see her wearing this fur. I used to think she was beautiful but now she just seems evil. Can anyone email her the peta video of the animals skinned alive so she can see how horrible she is by wearing the fur? Whats up with JLO she is always wearing fur also.

Posted by: Shanti Bringas | July 17, 2008 06:31 PM

Anything could work and no matter how many times we try and fail, we have to continue exposing the truth of this people that shows so much lack of love, is obvious that if they can have love for others the lack of love in themselves is even bigger so I wouldn’t be surprise if she doesn't take the test.

So many movie stars think that what they do is okay. They are simply just plain people like the rest of us. Sharon needs to burn her furs and take a stand for God creatures. That is one of the main reasons that we are on this ole earth. To help the defenseless creatures that mankind is so cruel to.

Posted by: Shirley | July 17, 2008 06:59 PM

This woman is mental. I don't see how people want to wear fur because 1) It looks tacky and disgusting and better on the animals it came from! and 2) You know the animals it came from have endured the worst treatment and suffering ever.

These people really are a disgrace :(

Posted by: Zoe | July 17, 2008 07:00 PM

Ok, the only comments I think are appropriate. She has no right to wear that for that is still the animals property!! She has no mind to scan if she is wearing that! No doubt, is she going to hell!

Posted by: midnight | July 17, 2008 07:08 PM

takes all sorts to make up this world.. doesnt' it?

to preach China about 'Karma' and then be so callous and uncaring about animal suffering .. (in fact even ENCOURAGING it by buying and wearing huge monstrosities of fur.. ) if that deosn't smack of sheer barefaced jaw-dropping hypocricy .. then I really dont' konw what is!!

Posted by: yvonne | July 17, 2008 07:08 PM

Even if she has no reply it brings attention to this important topic by using her public position. Good for you. Any way we can reach people with this message is fine with me. These animals have no voice but ours and the horrid suffering that was felt by the innocent animals around this woman's neck needs to be stopped. Thank you!

Posted by: Shaaron | July 17, 2008 07:25 PM

In this photo, Sharon actually reminds me of the grim reaper. She has always been renowned for flashing her fur (see Basic Instinct for beaver fur). She did suffer a brain aneurism a few years ago so maybe this has caused her complete disregard for the life of innocent creatures. I think the letter is spot on and I hope she takes Ingrid up on her offer. It is time wearing fur for fashion was outlawed.

Posted by: Dee Dee | July 17, 2008 07:25 PM

I think PETA NEEDS their head examined...How dare they pick DITA VON TEESE as a model...The caboose of burlesk. The one who steals off of every burlesque star anyway! She does not wear feathers right? Then why in THE HELL PICK ON SHARON STONE? At least Sharon is not representing a this cause by wearing feathers. I think PETS NEEDS THEIR HEADS EXAMINED FOOLS!

Posted by: Patrick | July 17, 2008 07:27 PM

Here's a better way to make a lasting impression on Ms Stone and her industry. Since I'm sure this launch against her is costing PETA something, why not hire a alliance of like minded Paparazzi to show up at her next big public appearance. However, when Ms Stone makes her long walk down the runway, the photographers turn their cameras off and turn their back to her. It will destroy her sick and out of proportioned Ego!

Although I know your intentions are good...and I whole-heartedly agree with you, quite frankly these are the kinds of things that brings bad publicity to PETA. We want people to support PETA so imagine if this was your first exposure to PETA...it looks intrusive and extreme...and a letter certainly is not going to change her personality. Keep up the good work. Let's work on shutting down the furriers. And stopping the Ravens from using real birds to shoot out of a tunnel before their games.

That's HILARIOUS. Not that she wears fur and stuff, but that Ingrid thinks she needs a brain scan-- and told her so! Hopefully this effort to alert Stone of her own cruelty will not be fruitless but if she continues to be a dumb@$$, at least we got a laugh out of making fun of her...

It's amazing how heartless some people could be. Shameful

Posted by: LM | July 17, 2008 07:47 PM

she doesn't have a smart or compassionate bone. Mean people wear fur. period. No more supporting her work until she kicks this cruel fashion trend, no reason could support her use of fur, faux fur LOOKS better!

I am so disappointed after reading all of the insulting remarks directed at someone, for whatever reason. I am vegan, I do not support cruelty to anyone or anything. If Sharon Stone is so cruel, why does that give license to anyone to be just as cruel? Two wrongs do not a right make, one can state one's position without degrading and demeaning remarks.

Since she believes in karma, that means she will skinned, and worn one day ?

Posted by: Monique | July 17, 2008 08:08 PM

waitaholdit is a nice voice of reason. I still skim peta's emails sometimes and I have mixed feelings about the post, but some of the comments are just so old I don't even get angry any more.

Yes, her brain has a prefrontal region, so does yours. Yes, she has unique amounts of neurons and glia, so does yours. Yes, she...has a physical brain, and guess what, so do you. There SHOULD be nothing insulting about getting a brain scan, and absolutely nothing insulting about one's feelings, decisions, and actions being a result of the physical brain. Is it somehow insulting that my mind IS matter? Are you superior to people like me and Stone because you conform to "mind over matter"? Brain scans would never say anything about you, eh?

You can tell a lot about a culture by the insults they use. In this case, things like "retard," "crazy," "insane," "lunatic," "NPD," "bipolar," "belongs in a psych ward," "needs antidepressants/mood stabilizers/antipsychotics," "dropped on the head as a baby" all apply. Let's see people say "URI," "sneezing," "needs amoxiclav," or "should see an ENT" the same way. Things like NPD are disorders with diagnostic criteria to be evaluated by competent professionals. It's a pet peeve of mine when people "diagnose" to be insulting. This one moron (yes, I'm American!) I know of has about zero respect for his cats, and laughed at one for having "ADD" because playing with her would distract her from other things. And everyone's favorite, his cat must be bipolar for becoming upset when provoked--after being calm one moment ago! By this "playing doctor" "diagnostic criteria," most of you are NPD, BPD, APD, bipolar, ADD, HPD, OCPD, PPD...sheesh. If you think something is horrible, think about whether you'd like to be condemned for doing the same...because you probably are.

BTW, NPD is very treatable, and whether someone has NPD or not, acknowledges it or not, wants treatment for it or not, they deserve the basic consideration that every person does. Alexander Lowen did a lot of work with narcissistic patients, and some of his ideas are fascinating.

But that and everything else I post is wasted here :P So gnite!

I fully support Ingrid Newkirk's offer to scan Sharon Stone's brain. Sharon has said some truly objectionable and cruel things about the Chinese and wearing fur further reinforces her cold image. She must be just another of some, not all, Hollywood celebrities who thinks the world revolves around her and no one else exists!

Posted by: Avis Valdespino | July 17, 2008 08:18 PM

Oh yes this women is not pretty it all. She is an ignorant, they do need a real brain not a fake one. Let's just stop watch her movies, actually I never liked her and I never saw her movies but I heard. But later until someone will make it clear she will realize she did the worse mistake in her life by wearing fur.

Posted by: Juana | July 17, 2008 08:23 PM

Some ppl today just dont relize that the fur they are wearing was once an innocent soul. Those ppl need to be smacked upside the head. i ve never heard of sharon stone but if she is wearing all that fur she better not have a pet. if so she needs to think. WHAT IF THAT WAS HER PET? those people need a sever wake up call

Posted by: Savannah | July 17, 2008 08:25 PM

I agree that celebrities should not wear fur. To us that means they support the killing of many innocent animals. Go after the sick people that continue to make profit on torturing and killing these precious animals.

She kills me too!
What a SLUT! Filthy fashion victim holding mutilated "fashion victims".

she should burn in hell that animal skinner! she has no right to wear fur! she should be put in prison for her whole life, anyone that does anything to hurt an animal! god..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! i just want to go up to her and say "shame on you, you're the devil!".

Posted by: cheyenne gonzalez | July 17, 2008 08:48 PM

I JUST HOPE THIS WILL NOT BE FORGOTEN FOR QUITE A LONG TIME!!!
SHE SHOULD PAY A PRICE FOR GIVING THAT BAD EXAMPLE..YUCK SHE'S HORRIBLE AND MAKE ME SICK!!!!!

Posted by: Ana | July 17, 2008 08:52 PM

Very subtle way to tell her she's a cold-hearted bitch. I love this! I have brain damage caused by a tumor and it is amazing the variables in our brains and they DO affect our empathy for things. I know I have NO EMPATHY for people who kill animals. For example, if I were in Canada during their "Seal Season"; I would feel it perfectly acceptable to shoot the hunters. Or in Alaska, put a bomb on the plane of an Aerial hunter that would blow him out of the sky and leave him for the wolves. I have to admit,I do enjoy hearing someone is anti-China. I must say, China is full of heartless people who are terribly cruel to animals.
Great job, Ingrid!

Posted by: Teriqua | July 17, 2008 09:01 PM

I didnt know Sharon Stone was so heartless. Whats wrong with these people when they can get superb quality faux fur wihtout causing mass cruelty? Its ignorant snobbery and coldhearted mindless people that wear fur make me sick to the pit of my stomach! and I think her China comment is rich considering the gross cruelty that she is supporting in... Stupid woman...Does she think Karma will do things to her as she is most certainly a person that does bad things!

Posted by: Lindy | July 17, 2008 09:06 PM

Her comment about China being mean, well we cannot forget that their restrictions on how these poor animals die is unregulated. Remember all of the PETA websites documenting the cruelty? It does say something about Chinese people as a race. As for Sharon, where has she been, I wonder if she knows about the process of making her beautiful fur coat that should actually have remained on the animal.

Posted by: Anita | July 17, 2008 09:16 PM

I guess she wasn't really out of character in the ONE good movie she's done, Basic Instinct. She's like Dorian Grey, despicable and ugly on the inside. Not even worth the last breath of those poor creatures she's wearing.

Posted by: Ruth | July 17, 2008 09:25 PM

Mensa, schmensa, what an idiot she is. Did you also catch Vera Wang's comments in the current issue of InStyle magazine? She lists fur as one of her favorite things --- actually it is the first on her list. And she is pictured there wearing fur. Boycott her AND Kohl's stores, which sells her low-end clothing.

Posted by: Deanna | July 17, 2008 09:27 PM

I won't be attending any movie with Sharon Stone. I'll tell all my friends how insensitive she is. Let's boycott her!

Posted by: tammy harczak | July 17, 2008 09:40 PM

Whatever was commented by her was condemned. I do not believed she did it intentionally although it was emotionally biased.
The damages and consequences that she have to bear is enough for her to reflect for life. Let's forgive and forget her. By reacting is negative, by responding is positive and it have to be constructive. Let's help her to help the rest of US to be more loving to our very own human kind. God Bless to the unique human being, be happy and be blessed. * Service is the RENT we pay for the privilege to stay on this earth. "Help Others to help Ourselves"

Ms. Stone will probably try to milk as much publicity as she can as a result of getting the letter from PETA. To people like her, any exposure in the headlines is good. She seems like a very cold, calculating person. It is no wonder she wears fur. She has no compassion for animals and probably not too much for people either. Sad.

Posted by: Suzanne Marienau | July 17, 2008 09:53 PM

Sharon WHO??? Hopefully, her career is about as alive as the fur she is wearing. Money may buy a lot, but it doesn't buy respect, and obviously, no one on this blog respects her.

What's the use of wearing fur?it's a dead animal hanging on shoulders,it's not a pretty site...wearing fur is not a FASHION it's a CRIME!!!!!

Did she have a brain?... Its amazing how could exist people like that.

Posted by: Marya Jose | July 17, 2008 10:14 PM

Is Sharon Stone still around? I don't really care. I only care about the choices that Ingrid makes. I trust her, she sincerely knows the truth about animal abuse and cruelty and so I would never second guess her choices or the kind people who devote themselves to this, the most important of all issues. Sharon Stone, like most people, knows that wearing furs is not o.k., so I always assume people who choose to flaunt fur in public are desperately looking for any kind of attention from anyone. Her day in the spotlight has come and gone and heartless attempts will never bring back the attention she once had. Peace.

Posted by: egar | July 17, 2008 10:28 PM

To insinuate that people who wear fur and feathers, ect. have a 'brain glitch' or may have a physical brain defect sould seem only to insult and alienate the very people we are trying to reach. We don't have to agree with what she does or wears or say, but we don't have to be rude, either. What purpose does that serve? Who does it benefit? You draw more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, or so I've heard said. Our beliefs and opinions are just that- OURS. The whole world does not need to feel/think/act/believe as we do (though it'd be nice) and to try to insult people into changing their ways seems a crass approach. We're better than childish tactics like this- or we SHOULD be.

Posted by: K | July 17, 2008 10:34 PM

I'm sorry but I dont agree with insulting Ms. Stone the way this article/letter as done. You expect a positive out of a negative? So you dont agree with her attire, you ever stop to think she is under contract with FENDI she may have NO choice over her wardrobe.....cmon' people GROW UP....this is why the anti fur anti meat industry comes across like a joke....you're to negative in your attacks.

Posted by: Jenny B | July 17, 2008 10:38 PM

i think this letter had good intentions attached to it but i think its going a little over board accusing her of having a mental problem and then publishing a story on it and sending it to all the peta supporters

since- we are expecting- kindness and empathy from sharon- lets start extending that to her- - enough- cruelty toward sharon- she needed to be informed- perhaps directly educated. maybe she is just not that smart- or was raised with no awareness. when we kn
