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.

Posted by: Hope Ayers | July 17, 2008 07:33 PM

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...

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!

Posted by: Kathy lopez | July 17, 2008 07:56 PM

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!

Posted by: Teh Infamous Weatherlight | July 17, 2008 08:17 PM

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.

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"

Posted by: K.Will | July 17, 2008 09:49 PM

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.

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

Posted by: margie | July 17, 2008 11:12 PM

What a ridiculous person Sharon Stone is. She cares so much about AIDS, but obviously cares nothing about how animals feel when they are tortured or mutilated... and eventually killed for the sake of a coat??? That's ridiculous and completely inhumane. I'll never watch any of her movies..,now she's just an hold hag...without a heart!

Sending such a letter comes across as childish, and makes PETA look extremist, which just alienates. The same goes for all those references to 'hell' from various posters. Don't bring religion into it.

Posted by: PB | July 17, 2008 11:28 PM

PLEASE, stop spending my donated money on such childish & unkind behavior. I swear, sometimes I'm embarassed to be a PETA member! Such insults only allienate people (not only Sharon, but anyone reading about the stunt) and discredits our message. Grow up and address her openly and respectfully. Take a hint from the Humane Society. They get attention without acting like idiots.

Posted by: Kathleen | July 17, 2008 11:36 PM

Some of the posts here amaze me. A lot of angry people out there who maybe need to take a good look at themselves before passing judgement on others. If we can't show some common decency and respect for each other, then I see no hope for either the human race or the animal kingdom. I don't like the fact that Sharon Stone wears fur, but I think there are other ways this could have be approached.

Posted by: shearerbug | July 17, 2008 11:48 PM

I intend that Sharon Stone have a massive awakening within one month and realize that what she is doing is not serving her highest good or that of the animals and the planet. Sharon Stone will wake up within 30 days and in doing so, will decide that she must donate a great portion of her money to saving the animals and bringing her newfound awareness to the attention of the public and media. So be it and so it is. Please join me in this intention by saying it out loud to the Universe and end with So be it and so it is.

Posted by: Kass Callaghan | July 17, 2008 11:51 PM

As a supporter of PETA, I'm actually kind of saddened by this approach. I think we can influence others without cheap schoolyard tactics and name calling. Seems a bit infantile to me. I can't imagine how a letter like that would persuade anyone, which is what we would hope to do.

And on another note, I find it very insensitive and offenseive to people who have mental challenges.

Posted by: Mary R | July 18, 2008 12:02 AM

She claims to have converted to Buddhism but it does not appear to have helped her find her moral compass. She has said the Chinese deserved the earthquake because of their oppression of Tibetans. As intelligent folks know, the average Chinese citizen plays no role in the policies of its government, just as the average American citizen plays no roles in the crazy policies enacted by our similarly lunatic president.

I don't mind the letter that was sent to her about wearing fur. But I have no expectation it will work because in order for it to work, she would have to demonstrate the ability of introspection and the humility to admit she is wrong. These are character traits she does not have and cannot buy.

Posted by: Janet | July 18, 2008 12:03 AM

Some of the letter was good in pointing out and reiterating how animals die to make fur...........but to offer to pay for a brain scan?
She will view PETA not as having a point but for acting absurd and flaky.
Whether she gets a brain scan or not, which she is saying ""who the F are they?" at this moment.
You just brought your hard work down a notch by even asking that question.
Now she will really ignore your message.
I agree that she seems like a flighty drugged out..loose lipped asshole lately with the rude comments to P diddy
in France.accusing him of spending his money on crack during a auction ...that was the comment that shocked me..in front of thousands of people ..stereotyping and slandering someone...that was worse than the china comment.
Very crass and rude.
I can't believe he didn't throw her under a bus for that one.
She comes across like a nasty bitch...but she enjoys that so your letter will be shrugged off as just a bunch of whack jobs reaching out to her.
Maybe she should be asked if she would like to go visit these places where they abuse and kill animals for their fur and then she can decide if she still wants to wear it afterwards..that would of sounded alot more educated, respectable and more like an intellectual challenge that people will not look negatively on.

Posted by: Lisa H | July 18, 2008 12:08 AM

ugh get over it...some people jus have there own opinions of what they they like and what they think is wrong and not wrong......remember....the Native Americans relied on killing animals to live! without there killing we wouldn't be alive you idiots

Great idea Ingrid. Braindamage does not constitute cruelty or lack of compassion.However ignorance does.So perhaps educating miss Stonecold would help. However by wearing fur she merely shows her lack of understanding and her nack for cruelty. However both of these things will be price taged in the future meaning if you are cruel person there will be a price to pay at some point in the future. We all get paid for what we do by the fates or Karma. This is called action and equal reaction.This is a lifelesson that Stonecold never listend to. perhaps we can change her mind by showing her the truth.On behalf of those with braindamage I will say this sometimes they don´t lack compassion and they respond to love. Perhaps there is a lesson in that somewhere.

Give Sharon Stone hell, Ingrid! Go for it! I am absolutely vicious when it comes to fur. If I ever saw someone do skin an animal, I think I would tear them apart with my bare hands. What are these so called people anyway. China has felt the wrath of God, I believe. I live for the day when they are out of the dog and cat fur business. Those people will do anything for a buck. As for people who still wear fur, they should go to hell! Those who kill animals should rot in hell for eternity!

Posted by: Rebeca | July 18, 2008 01:04 AM

Animal cruelty is extremely unfair and should be dealt with in the most professional of manners. Asking someone to get a brain scan is offensive and in no way a good means of turning someone against their guilty life style, it might perhaps even escort them farther away from it out of retaliation. Good for Ingrid for starting PETA, but I think we need someone who understands how humans think to take over or atleast assist in the confronting of animal abusers and the like. PETA seems to have become more focused on bashing and offending than reasoning and explaining like humans should. PETA should focus more on dealing with the source of such problems than the people advertising them. By not being able to deal with the problem in a professional manner, the animals are being done more harm. Bullying the person at the other end of your hate mail will not solve anything, unless your goal is to fuel a war between animal lovers and everyone else and feed your need for vengeance, just remember who's suffering whilst doing so.

Posted by: manny | July 18, 2008 02:02 AM

Sharon allegedly has a very high IQ but the parts of her brain that let her understand what is wrong and what is right seem to be completely atrophied. I don't know how she can not see the hypocrisy crying for the people who have aids for the camera and wearing fur the same time!
I think its a VERY smart thing to do offering her a brain scan.
There is more thought behind this that one might see at the first glance.

I can't stand Sharon Stone. She's a "has been" actress and needs to spend her money on more surgery rather than fur. Because she wears fur, I never watch anything with her in it or buy a magazine that has her in it. She can't even act anyway and isn't even pretty.

Posted by: Daphne Birkby | July 18, 2008 04:23 AM

I do not believe that insults are the best way to encourage people to act with kindness.
I was horrified when I first saw this picture of Sharon Stone. I truly believe that a lot of people will not let themselves be subjected to the horrors of animal cruelty, so they are not fully aware of what goes on.
Yes, it is naive and shows a lack of empathy, but if they do not have those images in their head, it's easily condoned in ones mind.
I support all animal welfare because I inform myself and I am aware of the suffering of animals all over the world.
I do not believe anything should have to suffer or give up it's life to satisfy another living being.
As for Sharon, I hope one day she will inform herself on the life of a fur coat.

Posted by: Sophie | July 18, 2008 04:37 AM

Dear (!!!??) Sharon:
Know that the WORLD is aware, through the INTERNET, of your enjoyment in promoting wearing fur, hence torturing/killing animals.
Remember that whether it's praise, love, criticism, money, time, power, punishment, space, sorrow, laughter, need, PAIN, or pleasure... the more of it that you GIVE to either people or animals, the more of it you will RECEIVE. IT'S ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME.

It's sad that we have people who just don't care and real sad what people are capable of and real sad our gov. allows the cruel actions to continue or be ,behind it. I think abusers of all sorts,should be treated the same way ,they abuse,they get abused.the ones who can stop the pain & suffering are doing nothing(gov) infact they condone alot of it,like testing no-matter how cruel or over done or pointless and stupid it is. I say we need to point fingers at the source of who is allowing all this.

I HATE people who wear fur! Fur wearers are so stuck up with all their millions they don't care who suffers. Well I don't think they should be allowed to have pets. Why should they have that joy of owning a dog etc when they've got skinned alive ones hanging in their wardrobe? And as for China. How dare they ask for money? What so they can skin more animals? The cheek of that wasteland. What makes them think animal lovers are going to give them money? That country's a waste of space. How can losers like J.Ho and Sharon Stone live with themselves. But then it's ovious. THEY HAVN'T GOT A HEART!!!

Posted by: Zoe | July 18, 2008 08:10 AM

It must be a mental thing...I mean, she isn't really that great of an actress! What, she got famous for not wearing underwear and practically f*cking 1/2 of Hollywood's leading men in movies! She's not just a fur hag, but a fur skank!

Posted by: MeL | July 18, 2008 08:21 AM

I was dropped on my head by the babysitter and rushed to hospital as a baby, it's hardly something to joke about. How about I start joking about little kittens being dropped from the 7th floor?

"Oh hey that cat is really cruel to those field mice, I wonder if it was dropped from the 7th floor as a kitten, hahahah."

Although I was dropped on my head I still care about animals, even though I have a slight dent in the top of my skull. And maybe I'm a bit slow sometimes too, but that doesn't mean I don't have empathy for other beings.

Posted by: Mark S | July 18, 2008 08:24 AM

Well any normal person would agree that animals are simple and pure innocence! So for sure insulting those who care for them is sick! Unfortunately this planet is over filled with sick and unrespectful people. PETA and B. Bardot along with other animal lovers are angels and without them there would not be a single animal left! GO AHEAD PETA! We love you!!!

Posted by: Julia | July 18, 2008 08:28 AM

Sharon actually had a stroke several years ago and has been on major medications since then. At first they thought she had an anyurism..so, this is an inappropriate/cruel approach.

Posted by: Peaceful | July 18, 2008 08:32 AM

To be sure it is disgusting and appalling that she continues to wear fur, and the like, even though she has all the facts of how the fur is obtained. However, an even greater injustice is being done here. She has at least two adopted children now. Her actions are teaching by example, and otherwise, that it’s “OK” to wear fur and torture innocent creatures. After all, to her, they’re “just” animals! Perhaps her children will make a different decision when they grow up and realize that their mother was supporting the murder and heinous conditions of these poor animals and choose a better way. All we can do is hope and pray and try to reach them before it is too late.
The letter that PETA sent to Stone may never even reach her. Who knows, she may have told the staff that collect her mail to simply throw anything away that comes from PETA. She’s a parasite and parasites are one celled creatures with no brain at all. How can you scan something that does not even exist?
Her comment s about China were incredibly hypocritical to say the least. She said, and I quote, "I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans, because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma, when you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?" Hmm, ok Sharon, you say you, “don’t think anyone should ever be unkind to anyone” and that “karma is when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you”. I had to laugh out loud to that one. I mean, jeez lady, and I use the term “lady” loosely, are you really as dumb as your portray yourself to be?
I believe that Ms. Stone says things that she thinks are PC and may get her to look good in the eyes others. Be damned if she truly feels these things or not. Which clearly she doesn’t if judged by her inhumanity to animals is any guide. She has proven o’er and o’er what a bubble headed bleach blonde she really is and it is pathetic to watch such a train wreck. She should never receive any more publicity of any kind. Let her waste away and fall into ruin. Because truly Sharon, which you would know NOTHING about, the wheel of karma spins slowly but it spins surly and you will get what is coming to you in good time.

Posted by: Shannon LaCorte | July 18, 2008 08:35 AM

There a lot of things I would like to do with Stone, but a brain scan isn't one of them. It might show nothing

Posted by: J.W.Beerhow | July 18, 2008 08:45 AM

Hi,
I am a definite protector of animals and I admire a great work that you are doing and your achievements and I support all known to me actions to protect the animals, children and the envoirment but.....the way you approach to the Sharon Stone case is for me a bit ridicioulous - first of all you are creating concence and teaching people to be more human but I do not like the way you speak about the people who doesnt want to be like you expect them to be....they have the right to do what they want and I think that that this letter from the President about her brain etc. is out of place for such a respectfull and known Lady as she is......or calling Sharon Stone a bitch or similar is very childish, emotional and does ot go with the profile of this organizations in my opinion.

I love animals - but to be honest if someone would use such pressure techniques to make me do anything - I would not react at all. The best way is to make the world aware of what happends and.....let the people take actions in their envoirmente ( like better education of children,boykott etc/....

I never expected from the President of Peta to go so low in her comments - I saw her as a mature, respectfull Lady and now I dont know what to think.
All we need is love - so cruel people maybe need just love and attention and thats why they want to attract attention of the world with their bad actions and look.....

And if they are really bad - putong pressure on them makes only things worse.....

We do not know what really makes people the way they are - so instead of judging them we should let them grow in their own pace.
sooner or later they will understand - but not always in the same way as we do....

....and by the way.......Sharon Stone is being created, approved, financed by many....so where do they have their eyes and minds?????

Posted by: ewa zamiecka | July 18, 2008 08:55 AM

I do not agree with PETA's behaviour, more and more I feel unattached to their position and views. you can´t expect to suceed with attacking people, why don´t you try another strategy as you are instead of getting more PETA supporters, driving them away in consequence of the agressive (which is not necessarily bad, but in this case it's blinding the supporters and instead of promoting peace it's promoting hatred)position you stand for and the actions you take. If you'd rather take such childish actions I do not wish to support you anymore!

Posted by: jana | July 18, 2008 09:05 AM

I highly doubt she will agree to the procedure but at least she is going to know PETA is keeping an eye on her. I can’t believe she walks around showing off that fur like is some kind of treasure; I bet you that if she had to kill the animal herself she’ll be horrified of even looking at it.

Posted by: Elizabeth | July 18, 2008 09:08 AM

She is and always has been a no talent bum, as they are saying she was washed up from the begining of her "career". Let's just ignore her and she will become the next Joan Crawford or Gloria Swanson, spending the rest of her days watching old movies of herself. Good Riddance to her!!

Posted by: Beau | July 18, 2008 09:14 AM

I wouldn't bother to pay for any scan for her, she's just plain ignorant and cruel like the rest of the "fur whores". Look at Beyonce, she was shown a video of anal electrocution of a precious little animal and still continues to use fur in her clothing line. There's no hope for these people with more money than good sense, they are too far gone. Sorry for my language, just keeping it real.

Posted by: Linda Sue | July 18, 2008 09:21 AM

That letter was NOT a great idea. I am really dissappointed peta. I can't believe you actually sent it, do you really think insulting her is going to help? Nomatter what she's said or done, I don't think this is the right way to go about it, especially from a group like you that is supposed to be serious and professional. Mean, pointless campaigns like this one do make people less sympathetic to the cause. I am planning on becoming a member but this makes me wonder what my money will be spent on.

Posted by: Bee | July 18, 2008 09:24 AM

I am new to the vegetarian lifestyle and to PETA and altho I love animals, I also use to wear leather and eat meat. Not because I am a BAD person... It was simply because it was 'what I knew'. I didn't take the time to learn more about what was behind it until now. I've loved and saved MANY animals during my lifetime (I am 46) and once I LEARNED of the horrors of our meat industry, THAT is when I decided to make the change. But the nasty, name-calling insults I read on this page only confirms some of the things I have heard about the organization and it doesn't necessarily make me proud to be a part of it. Give up meat and furs because YOU want to. But don't act like you are God Almighty because you choose to do so. I'm sure there are other areas of your lives that aren't so pure. Remember... He who is without sin... Unless of course, this group is nothing less than a bunch of earthly saints. But I doubt it.

Do you tell your family members that they are EVIL and GROSS because I'm sure they are not ALL vegetarians or vegans. Your mother... and grandmother... I bet they owned something with fur on it at one point in their lives. Those fur collars were pretty popular back in the 60's.

People... If you can't TEACH people what's right from wrong in a kinder way - Stay in your glass houses.

Posted by: Gigi | July 18, 2008 09:31 AM

Maybe you could send that letter to Usher too, he was showing off his closet full of furs on tv. What a jerk! Think of all the good these stars could do for animals with the money they have. It's just sad.

Posted by: Sue | July 18, 2008 09:32 AM

We all know the saying, "what goes around, comes around". Hopefully this woman will get some professional help. I definatly think it is warranted!

Posted by: NICOLE | July 18, 2008 09:54 AM

Re Sharon Stone I've read many of the comments and agree that Stone probably will not change her ways because of PETA's letter. However, celeberties love, crave, and need attention from the public. Our attention to them is the scale for how important they are or are not to people. Movie directors & casting directors hire celebs who can not only perform the role well, but also have the ability to draw the public to see the movie. The best cure for Ms. Stone is to ostracize her--ignore her, act as if she does not exist. Quit going to her movies--do not rent movies in which she plays a role--do not buy a magazine which has any article about her. You will see how fast she fades from Hollywood and the public scene in general. She will then have limited opporutnity to wear her furs, etc., for she will not be invited to any events at which celebs attend SHARON BE GONE!

Posted by: Jane | July 18, 2008 09:54 AM

I think this woman doesn't need to wear fur, feet, and feathers, she's beautiful but sometimes a bit stupid(because this). Stars should always think more about animals and earth than fashion.

Posted by: Marine | July 18, 2008 10:07 AM

Well, i did'nt know that about sharon stone. All the animal wearing stuff. But come to think of it, the last movie i saw her in she was wearing a beaver.LOL

Posted by: molly | July 18, 2008 10:13 AM

wow! shocking! but yet even if she reads the letter she might say "I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS NON-SENCE!" i cant believe anyone would wear fur!

Posted by: guadalupe | July 18, 2008 10:16 AM

Stone's got a heart as hard as her name suggests. Let her rot in hell, I say. Who needs the washed out old slag? That's all she ever was and that's the only acting parts she's ever been offered. Don't give her the publicity.

Posted by: Lesley Robinson | July 18, 2008 10:18 AM

Posted by: carol | July 18, 2008 11:04 AM

From seeing that picture of Sharon Stone with the fur is a bit upsetting.She needs to get a grip on life and look at reality I hope that all actresses have seen this picture and hope that they are not following her fashion trend..

Posted by: Ernie | July 18, 2008 11:14 AM

Personally, I don't see a problem with it if the Stone finds the offer insulting. The disgusting things she chooses to advertise on her her body are an insult to many. She doesn't seem to mind that.
I doubt that the scan would show any defect in the brain. I think being cruel is more of a CHOICE. However, I've been wrong before and it would be worth a try. Who knows, she's been known to do almost anything for publicity, she might just go for it.

Posted by: Pat | July 18, 2008 11:15 AM

I'm a PETA member but I'm considering ending my membership and continuing to fight for this cause in my own way, and let my vegan, no-fur way of life speak for itself. I find this sort of activity and many of the comments posted here as childish at best and hypocritical at worst. Where's the compassion for Stone and other people like her whose hearts simply haven't accepted the truth yet? So, everyone here was born a vegan? I wasn't. It took me 42 years to become vegetarian and 43 to go vegan and get rid of my fur and leather. You undermine the righteousness of this cause by your self-righteousness and hatred and lack of compassion. You preach hatred and violence when you should be teaching love and compassion. Jesus said: "Judge not lest you be judged."

I'm outta here....

Posted by: Leslie Strovas | July 18, 2008 11:16 AM

If SS knows how fur gets to be fur and still chooses to wear it, she is obviously a soul-less, cruel, lesser being as wel all know fur is for beautiful animals and ugly people.

Posted by: Linda Camac | July 18, 2008 11:22 AM

I agree with what has been said about her negativity and i just wonder how come she is a certified Mensa member (with high IQ). One of only a few from among our celebrities. We now have to revisit this Mensa thing for it may not be a good thing after all !

Posted by: boy sanchez | July 18, 2008 11:22 AM

This may sound stupid but... Why is wearing fur worse that eating meat or wearing leather? The animals get tourtured either way. I agree that it is sick and sad, and that Stone is a washed up hag. But, to me her wearing fur is no worse a sin than eating a chicken or pig that suffered before it died.

Posted by: Autumn | July 18, 2008 11:27 AM

Sharon Stone apparently isn't very bright because she already knows the pain and torture animals go through to be turned into furs and she uses them anyway.

I give her a thumbs down. I view her acting skills in a different light now as well as I do not think very highly of her.

Posted by: Georgia Smith | July 18, 2008 11:35 AM

Someone should tell her that she's a used up "D-list" celeb, and I for one will boycott any movie or anything that has to do with that piece of white trash. When I see her, it reminds me of that saying, "You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of her." I believe this because, truely high class and intelligent people are aware of society's ancient mistakes along with what is barbaric and uncivilized. Perhaps stone can play a cave woman next movie, she's got the role down already.
Also, some one should tell her that she's depriving a village of an idiot along with George Bush Jr.+Cheney to start naming a few that don't care about anyone but themselves...
They can all go start a colony of village idiots and name it moron-ville's finest barbarians. I believe that word fits best. Stone's picture should be in the dictionary under this term,
------------------------------
bar·bar·i·an:
1. a person in a savage, primitive state; uncivilized person.
2. a person without culture, refinement, or education; philistine.
(Source: www.dictionary.com)
This describes even better what I am trying to convey...
------------------------------
"Barbarian" is a pejorative term for an uncivilized, uncultured person, either in a general reference to a member of a nation or ethnos perceived as having an inferior level of civilization, or in an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, insensitive person whose behaviour is unacceptable in the society of the speaker.[1]
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbaric)
Stone is a barbarian along with anyone else who buys or wears real fur. It's show thier true ugly character.

To those of you on this blog insulting PETA, please don't waste your time. This site is for people who have COMPASSION..that is what PETA stands for. You obviously lack empathy and are not true of heart. It always blows my mind when someone says "well what about human beings", well...what about them, everyone has their cause, I believe PETA members, and any animal rights org. goes above and beyond human compassion. We are not out there torturing people, our cause is to make a better, more humane life for gods most innocent creatures. Remember, they are the ONLY beings born without sin. God put them here for us to take care of, NOT to control, and condemn to a life of unbelievable pain and suffering. Animals need caring people to stand up for them. It just baffles my mind to know that there are people out there that have no compassion for the way animals are being treated. All I can say to you people that are in here blasting PETA, is, go watch the videos of what is happening to these animals. If you can STILL post these ignorant comments after seeing the atrocities these poor animals go through, then all I can say is that you are truely hopeless, and NO one on this blog will give your thoughts any consideration. Show me a human being being tortured by an animal, and I promise you, I will show some concern. But until then, my compassion goes out for these beautiful souls, that are of pure innocense. Obviously, you people have never had the pleasure of owning an animal. If you're compassion is for Germans, Jews, Blacks, or even the poor misguided Sharon Stone, then spend your time on THAT website. Do not bother coming here and insulting PETA members. YOU WILL NOT BE HEARD. And, if you think for a minute that your opinions will change the way we feel about these animals...you are VERY SADLY mistaken. You are not wanted here, so fly away pesty bug. And by the way, I donate hundreds of dollars to childrens organizations, homeless, and any natural disater occurances. Do not tell me that because I have a spot in my heart for mistreated animals, that I don't care about human beings. Do not come on this site and judge us because we are more evolved as to have such empathy for animals. Have you ever once thought about what it might feel like to be electrocuted, skinned alive, or dipped in boiling water and then skinned alive....yea...I didn't think so.

Peace to animals!!!!!!

So Ingrid, are you implying that cruelty is out of our control? If that were true, child molestors, rapists, murderers of human beings would all be in mental hospitals instead of prisons.
By the way, Sharon served Veal at her wedding to her x husband. You remember veal Ingrid, the stuff Martha Stewart showed how to make on her tv show while you put her on your old "compassionate" birthday list.

Re: Sharon Stone

Who is she really? She does not know. She can only relate to finding a way to get attention. At whose cost? She does not care. She is in my opinion a preditor! Weather it's abuse against a person or an animal; they are all the same. For some strange reason they believe that they can put out negative and expect to get something other than negative back.

Posted by: Judi Bechtel | July 18, 2008 12:49 PM

@SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION
CC @LIZ, CAROL JOY

SR, thanks for arguing instead of insulting.

I am no liar. And please don't think that being a nazi is about wearing the swastika, shaving heads or declaring hatred on the Jews.

Being nazi in the broad sense is about aggresive racial bigotry and hatred, carrying out--or legitimating others to carry out--harmful actions on allegedly inferior/damaging ethnic groups without even considering the individual deeds.

"I’ve had enough of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts." --Just one quote from BB.

It doesn't matter if you do it for the best reasons. And having millions of fans doesn't change things at all. You can't defend animals rights and condone this.

Nazi killed some number between 9 and 11 million non-belligerent people in ghettos, concentration camps, etc. About half of them were Jews, the rest where Roma ("gypsies"), homosexuals, masons, idiots, communists, etc. Not only Jews, Liz (though they were their "favourite" group). Doesn't matter if it was within 4 years or paid money in retribution, Carol.

The Germans were not all crap, but most were responsible for actively or passively supporting a mighty bunch of bastards that killed everything that didn't fit their plan.

Those deeds don't fade away just because time goes by. It happened. And it may happen once more if we let ethnic prejudice set in our minds. Be it about Muslim, Jewish, African, Chinese--you name it.

SR, sorry if I hurt your feelings, but you cannot be a true animal life activist if you don't include the human being--or Homo sapiens, as you wish.

PS: And for God's sake, I'm not insulting PETA.

Posted by: lexlythius | July 18, 2008 12:54 PM

Sharon Stone is like many women in Hollywood extremely self-absorbed and beyond selfish. Most actresses have the me complex and could never wrap their head around an idea of not eating meat or wearing the flesh of an animal. And to boot she runs at the mouth without thinking first. Shame on her!

Posted by: eileen | July 18, 2008 12:54 PM

Sharon Stone is "supposedly" Buddhist. Although, you'd never be able to tell with what she wears on her body, what comes out of her mouth and what goes in. Please scan her brain, because, from where I stand she looks like just another Hollywood flake.

Posted by: Selena | July 18, 2008 01:24 PM

I thinks its completely pointless, sorry. I'd use that money towards freeing the animals on death row who are still alive, rather than wasting my time on scanning the brain of some idiot who nobody cares about anyway to see why she's wearing animals who are already dead....

absurd...put that money to a good use, I dont donate money for sharon stone's brain to be scanned. i donate it so maybe ONE alive animal can escape the fate of being put down or beaten to death with a stick for a sport.

thank you

Posted by: yanar smoyer | July 18, 2008 01:26 PM

she is most famous for flashing some fur in a scene of one of her movies. maybe since this is all she is famous for she just can't stop wearing fur!? I am shocked to hear this about her. I assumed she was a very progressive and caring person. I am glad to know now what she really is.

Posted by: chris mccasland | July 18, 2008 01:49 PM

I do not think that Sharon Stone would ever consent to such an offer as it was put in an offensive manner that would only put any person who has some amount of pride on the defense. If she chooses to wear fur, she is no different than people who choose to eat animal products, yet many of those people have empathy. I feel that most people are just ignorant and do not want to think about the pain and suffering that innocent animals went through into their clothing, make-up, hair products, shoes and food. "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." Don't force it upon anyone. Just live a pure vegan life and spend PETA donations on good causes, like rescue farms and literature. Please don't cause anger - attempt to promote peace and understanding.

Hi everybody,
reading all comments I realise how arogant or ignorant many still are........who are we to judge, to say who is wrong or right, to scan somebodie's brain and not our own one??? :) I completely agree with her idea that China as all people and countries in the world have to pay for what they are doing, so karma is valid for both China and its vicitms and her....and us as well...disasters happen to awake people compassion in the world - and you know why????because many people have forgotten about respect, care, compassion and only the nature has got the power to draw worlds attention and make governments take more care about citizens etc. and not all of them help as we know. All p[eople are just mirrors and teachers so Sharon is teaching many of us a lesson - you will find out what lesson she came to teach us. And about karma I tell you a story.......a goat that was going to be sacrified spoke to the priest and he was surprised that an animal spoke with human voice and asked the goat why she was speaking....the goat answered: long time ago I was a priest like you sacrifying goats so now its my 500th life as a sacrified goat....so as the priest heard it he let the goat live.
Think about it.....and maybe the animals that suffer were once Sharon Stones and animal opressors so they are in karmic lives to experience pain????? how do you know? and besides they also came to the earth to awake our minds and teach us many things. It sounds tough but this is the karmic law and our mission on the earth - teach and learn in many different ways.....our biggest lesson in life is unconditional love....and this is a good test for everyone to see how much we already approached to understand what it means....

anyway, there is a lot work to be done...lets just work and not criticize

Posted by: Debbie | July 18, 2008 04:29 PM

I have been self-associated w/ PETA for upwards of FIVE YEARS now, and THIS has GOT to be at LEAST in the top TEN of Most Sensationalist Things.

Has it occurred to anyone that Sharon Stone is a bit of , uh, an "ITCH". And thusly PRONE to such thoughtless statements and/or actions.

However, if one is to set aside their pre-disposal(s) and actually FULLY assimilate the comment that she made about the victims of the EARTHQUAKE (totally separate from anything to do with her stance on Animal Rights [or lack thereof]) and be somewhat objective about it, then the comment in fact makes sense.

China's record on HUMAN rights, ESPECIALLY regarding the Tibetans, is f-ing HORRIBLE!!

And to use the standard viewpoint of MANY Tibetans and even quite a few CHINESE, this IS a matter of Karma.

And, those who are truly familiar with the dynamics of Karma would know that Karma has little or even nothing to do with what is considered "fair".

The loss of human lives is seldom "fair". But, the balance(s) of nature were enacted to divvy-out the losses of CHINESE lives to those of TIBETAN...... to approach this whole thing from a Buddhist viewpoint.

AND...... I MUST beg the question of how the comment she MADE about the EARTHQUAKE has ANYTHING to do with her shameless donning of animal products as fashion.

WELL?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

I feel that THIS what is truly "SHAMELESS"..... the coupling of this COMMENT with her WARDROBE.

The point could have VERY easily been illustrated withOUT making the OTHER.

PERIOD.

And, though she very well MAY BE, stating up-front that she is "horrible person", etc. is absolutely NO place to begin.

I know that I wouldn't even THINK of replying to such a bequest were such language were used at me.

Makes me wanna have a Bacon Cheeseburger!!!!

By the way, the idea that a comment need be "approved" (including my OWN!!) furthers highlights the sometimes-extreme thinking that PETA takes.

In fact, I know DEVOUT Vegans who won't be at ALL associated w/ PETA for this very reason.

This is so simple. Don't wear fur. Don't support any industries that profit from the selling of furs.

Pet the real fur (on the animal's body) as often as possible.

I agree with Jay: Along with throwing paint etc.
Insulting people only allienates them and serves to discredits your message.
Posted by: jay | July 3, 2008 04:10 PM

We are all moving towards higher spirituality. Not to judge, but to help and love each other. This letter seems very ego driven to me. There must be a better more productive way to reach people that are so destructive.

Posted by: Julie | July 18, 2008 09:51 PM

She is a f**king racist. She is implying that innocent people deserve to have their lives ripped apart by an earthquake just because of the certain people in China who have hurt the Tibetians.
I despise her racist attitude and don't particularly want to defend her but Iagree that insulting her is simply as antagonistic as she is.

Posted by: obsydian butterfly | July 18, 2008 09:59 PM

PETA
I am a member and I dislike animal cruelty, but you are being counter productive by stooping to these silly methods to get attention,and/or teach the general public.
Insulting a celebrity because she wears fur (etc) discredits PETA and ultimately backfires on educating the public about animal cruelty.

Posted by: Terry Proveau | July 18, 2008 10:05 PM

Sharon Stone is reported to have had a stroke in 2000. Ingrid Newkirk must know this...or she wouldn't make this particular remark.

Ingrid you are losing me...I have been a vegan for more than a quarter of a century and don't wear leather...well, I could never afford leather anyway. I will continue to campaign for animal rights, but you are beginning to turn ME off...

Posted by: withgoddess | July 18, 2008 10:05 PM

It is unfortunate, as I actually like Sharon Stone as an actress. You would think that someone who has overcome cancer which by the way, thanks to medical research on animals, that she would appreciate animals a little more. It's this research that saved her life in some way. It's awful to see she would flaunt her furs and dead animals without a care in the world.

I would hate to be Sharon Stone's karma.

Posted by: Cathy | July 19, 2008 12:14 AM

You know, I've held my tongue for a long time, but I've got to say this.

I really love that PETA is raising awareness the world over about the cruelty of the fur, leather, and meat industry, and I subscribe to the emails, and do as many things as I can to help prevent cruelty, such as not wearing leather and fur. But one thing PETA does that makes me not respect them as much is vehemently and hatefully insult people.

From the throwing paint on people wearing fur (which in some cases might be faux, may I point out) to staging personal smear campaigns of certain celebrities who don't hold the same ideals as PETA, some of the things the organization does...well, they just don't make me proud to say I am affiliated with them. And that is so sad! Because I love that the main motive here is to educate people on the cruelty of wearing fur and eating meat, etc. It's just that when it comes to showing bloody, nightmare-inducing, inappropriate videos to little kids, I draw the line.

And here, when they suggest Sharon Stone was dropped as a baby, and that she is "trash," I honestly just think that is low. An organization with such respectable and beautiful motives and mission should not lower themselves to the point of calling someone "trash!"

The truth is that Ms. Stone and other people who choose to wear fur and eat meat are HUMAN BEINGS, even if they are not compassionate toward animals as we are. I know, I absolutely hate when people are cruel to animals, it just makes me sick. But I will never resort to calling another human being "trash." For one, it is just crass and unkind. Repaying unkindness with another unkindness will get us nowhere. Also, people are way less likely to listen to the message when it is littered with junk like this. If we keep calling people names and assaulting them, they will never want to listen to what we have to say, not in a million years. And that is a shame, for the message is so valuable.

All right, rant is over. I love you, PETA, I just wish you'd not be so hateful and snarky.

Posted by: Cattie-Bree | July 19, 2008 12:30 AM

I am often impressed with the results PETA manages to get but this campaign is childish and offensive. Sharon Stone will not change her mind by such letter, rather it shows PETA as aggressive, not sophisticated and rather simplistic. I am against wearing fur, I support PETA but I am very disappointed by this action.

Posted by: FP | July 19, 2008 05:13 AM

This woman is obviously senceless. Or at least she has a problem with her eyes and she doesn't know what she is holding in her hands. A dead bodies of animals. It's perfect she doesn't have any children. Stupid people must never have children.

Posted by: Gergana | July 19, 2008 08:12 AM

Getting her brain scanned is a good idea....but she's already looking so moron in fur that she might not need one to determine that. Maybe we should just get her hospitalized...

Sharon Stone is not worth one cent of Peta funds. She is one of the many worthless human beings, particulary women in this case, who have sold whatever souls and dignity they might have for fame. Usually based on their sexuality and stupidity.

Sra. Sharon,

En español su apellido significa "PIEDRA" y en su anatomía, este material, es parte de su cerebro.

No entiendo qué le ve de especial o glamoroso, usar un animal muerto para satisfacer su ego y su falta de respeto por la vida.

No la saludo atentamente.

Ok, I understand the frustration with people and companies who are cruel. However, I think it's quite ridiculous to single out one person when there are other huge problems to face. Seriously, though... brain scans? Is that where my donations are going? Because I can donate to local animal charities instead and rest assured the money is going to be used in a responsible manner.

Posted by: Dani | July 19, 2008 04:36 PM

Sharon Stone is a worn out has been who is desperately trying to stay relevant - even negative attention is better than no attention.

She also misses no opportunity to let everyone know she is a member of mensa. Whoopee!

Newsflash Ms. "Genius" - true geniuses are curing cancer, putting space craft in outspace or making scientific and medical discoveries that advance humanity. Not parroting lines written for them and opening their legs in grade B movies.

Posted by: Glenn Randie | July 19, 2008 07:42 PM

She said "Is that Karma, when you're not nice and the bad things happen to you?" She didn't say "Gee it's great that so many died". What is all this bull**** about? Insulting someone will not get them to see your point of view!!! As for wearing fur, yes she's not progressive in that regard, but so are 95% percent of the population who stuff themselves with meat and wear leather!!! Give her a break. Given time and information, people may see the light (like myself), but not if you abuse them. That will only entrench them in the views they hold however mistaken.

Posted by: DS | July 19, 2008 09:09 PM

Posted by: Fen | July 20, 2008 01:33 AM

The pages of history are written each day of our lives. As we view within a mirror we are inspired to view compassion, but for Ms. Stone she instead views a completely different image of herself.
For compassion to materialize, we must admire ourselves as well as that of another.
Sharon,being the curious type,i believe your personality requires yourself to step back from that mirror and envision a better projection for yourself.
That image of yourself shall be written within the pages of history yet to be shown.
Shall you change for the better or continue within the path of spite.
Sharon,that choice, you can only make yourself.
For others, your path may have already materialized,but you can change that image.
Now, look into that mirror once again.
What do you envision?

Posted by: ronald | July 20, 2008 02:28 AM

I have read Ingrid's letter to Sharon Stone and thought it is fantastic! I know that to some people this kind of letter would sound offensive, but I firmly believe that after all attempts to "reeducate" a person about a particular topic are failed, there is nothing left to do but to start attacking, embarresing and offending that person. Since Sharon has not shown even the slightest interest in animal issues, and she only values herself, maybe the best thing that would work is attack on the only thing she cares about - herself! That could make her think!

Posted by: Mirela Saban | July 20, 2008 05:04 AM

Everyone defending her China comment needs to work on his or her comprehension skills. If you can't understand the difference between opposing a government's actions, and suggesting that innocent civilians deserve to die because of them (did you agree when certain people said the same thing about 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina?), maybe YOU need a brain scan. Oh, and thanks for the "lesson" in Buddhism, Adriyn, but my family is Hindu, and that's NOT how karma works. Just because you looked it up on Wikipedia does not make you an expert, okay?

Posted by: Liza | July 20, 2008 07:31 AM

She wouldn't like it if someone killed her and then I wore her... So why does she think it is ok to wear another animal she must be SICK in the head to keep wearing real fur!!!

Being an RN, I realized that this "lack of sympathy" is not the result of an unresolve childhood issue. It just plain stubborness, stupidity, immaturity from a supposidly responsible and I guess supposed to be intelligent as well in the eyes of the public?. Is she still around? I remembered the very few times she was on show biz I willingly switched the channel because her movies were not captivating or motivating but was a exellent substitute for an ambien or restoril. You do not have to be a rocket scientist, again you do not .........science to be against wearing fur. My friends all you need is simple common scense.

Posted by: Therese | July 20, 2008 05:10 PM

I think this letter is just terrific. I'm not offended in any way whether she had a brain aneurysm or not prior. The truth is she's barbaric and an evil fool to be promoting herself with animals tortured for their fur. I could care less what approach is taken. There is nothing more evil than killing, torturing, and skinning innocent animals. Do what you want, and say what you will, to Beastly Stone. Who cares if what anyone does is cruel to her?

Posted by: D2or3 | July 20, 2008 05:37 PM

Okay,
This is my first message on this long and entertaining blog. Sharon Stone has a HORRIBLE reputation in Hollywood. I know, I worked in the motion picture industry and everyone just despised her and had horrible stories of her bad attitude. Even though I was never really a big fan of hers, maybe cause she's a pisces, I didn't understand all the hate. Then I read her bio on IMDB and found out she was really bright-still is a member of Mensa I think, and had some kind of accident as a child leading to a scar on her throat. Who knows? This made me wonder. Then I saw glimpses of her parents and wondered if she was adopted. Possible. Her name itself seems some how like a contrivance derived from the Bible. Wasn't Sharon a whore and wasn't she going to be stoned until Christ intervened? Was she trying to channel some ancient spirit in order to gain popularity in Hollywood? I don't know! BUT, I have to empathize with her China comment, for as for myself being a huge fan and student of Tibet and its religions, it was the very first thing that crossed my mind when I heard about the earthquake, I'm ashamed. I would never repeat it because it is so vile, but I must admit that part of me thought "Yeah China, start getting suspicious, start backing away from Tibet. Look how soon this earthquake followed the crackdown you launched in Tibet." She's only human, and sure she needs to stop wearing furs, but damned if I wouldn't like to meet her and talk conscience sometime. She has a conscience about Tibet. China slaughtered monks, put cattle probes in the vaginas of nuns, razed 6,000 monasteries, etc. etc. They are committing Genocide and the world community has failed to properly act. Why? No oil deposits there, despite the countless other natural resources in Tibet. H.H. the Dalai Lama wrote to Truman for help against the Chinese...to no avail. A handful of Marines would have done the job, but it wasn't in the interest of our military-industrial complex so we took on Korea and later Vietnam instead. Stone's comment was shameful, but had probably crossed the minds of every single Tibetan and Tibetan sympathizer with any knowledge of the atrocities and horror of Chinese ignorance and repression.

Posted by: Marconius | July 20, 2008 09:56 PM

Also,
Karma, as Buddhists understand it, is much more than the western concept of "what goes around comes around." H.H. the Dalai Lama once mused that perhaps the suffering of the Tibetans was a kind of punishment for previous wars the Tibetans had waged. A Tibetan created the language used by the Mongols, while trying at the same time to convert them to Buddhism. The Tibetans were kind of pressed into service and obedience like everyone else in most of the world. But in the west, we tend to think not in terms of karma proper but in terms of justice, vengeance, and "payback time." In the west, we get carried away with karma when the concept is taken lightly or not understood.

Also, Basic Instinct was an evil movie. If there is any single entity in this world Ihope suffers brutal payback, it is Hollywood. I'm talking perhaps a comet to wipe out was is an evil force in the universe.

Posted by: Marconius | July 20, 2008 10:09 PM

Why the celebrities believe that to use fur is synonymous of classy???
I wish that this intelligent woman accepts the offer and also a transplant of brain and heart!!!

Posted by: Karla Sanchez | July 20, 2008 10:16 PM

There have been many reasons to not "really" like Sharon but this tops the list!Seeing that his self-absorbed person can't find happiness and control in her own life ,she will control the more prettier and helpless being. Just remember Sharon.. WE ALL HAVE THE SAME BLOOD COLOR !!!

Posted by: STracy | July 21, 2008 01:17 AM

That once beautiful, loving animal wrapped around her neck, not only makes her look trashy and low enough to wear it; but cruel.

FUR IS DEAD!

Posted by: maddy | July 21, 2008 03:07 AM

Stone,Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria or however you spell it...their brains are never going to work right no matter what you try on them. What they do not realize is that when they die, they will be reborn as one of the creatures they wore or ate or sat on... and then some other Hollywood horror in this or a different planet will do the same to them as what they are doing to the animals in this glamorous life they have right now. The beauty, fame and fortune is only temporary, they did not know how to use that blessing and will pay as many times and for as many lifetimes as they hurt others in this one.

Posted by: Margarita | July 21, 2008 09:46 AM

Fur aside, let's not forget that some of the organizations Sharon Stone supports use animal testing. Example: the AIDS research she supports tortures and kills primates. As for her being Buddhist, doubtful. One of the Buddhist teachings is to cause as little suffering to all sensitive beings as you possibly can. Essentially, one cannot wear fur and be Buddhist.

Posted by: pam | July 21, 2008 10:33 AM

I was a real supporter of PETA but after reading these comments I think the cause is great but the people might be wacky! Personally I take offense to how lightly you talk about a brain bleed since I almost died of one and I don't think it's funnny at all. Also CJD(mad cow & other kinds) is not a joke either. My best friends father died of this and it was a horrible death. So maybe you should look at yourself and listen to what you sound like before you post. To me you sound just as cruel.

Posted by: Heather | July 21, 2008 10:54 AM

Sharon Stone is "long in the tooth" hollywood jargon for OLD she has to do/say out there stuff to keep working. I guess she's to be pitied more than anything like a dinosaur when is she going to know to just lay down and "die". Old broads have it tough in hollywood because the old boys network still likes the "young puppies" and it's tougher for old women to get roles. so yes pity her and turn to the successful older female actresses who are making a difference.
Giving her attention is a bit akin to wondering why Dahmer was a cannibal, and spending time writing about it.
Celebrity types say there is no such thing as bad press, or that the only bad press is no press.

years ago stallione really socked it to the paparazzi and when he showed up in paris they all walked away from him.

isn't it time we walked away from her. Now who i'd love to see a story on is Glenn Close, I loved her as the live action Cruella Deville. She was priceless. I would like to know is she really cruel(la) and does she really drive cadillacs.
In closing let sharon return to the stone age and don't give her a second thought.

Posted by: Kim Hayes | July 21, 2008 11:23 AM

sharon Stone is nothing but a stupid,ignorant and heartless bitch. Stupid and ignorant because she blames the chinese people for the inhumane treatment of the Tibetans. It's not the people who persecuted the tibetans, it's the Chinese government. It was the Chinese govn't who fired on and murdered young Chinese government protesters in Tienamen Square. It is the Chinese government not the people who violate Human and animal rights. As far as I'm concerned people like Stone and michael Vic should be tied together and thrown into an active volcanoe. But since we can't actually do this to them, the next best thing is to boycott anything that they are involved in.

Posted by: shannon saunders | July 21, 2008 02:52 PM

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.

*****************************Hey um I am vegan too for over 10 years and I know what real cruelty is. Calling Sharon Stone names is not cruelty! You need to wake up and smell the coffee. Cruelty is skinning and electrocuting animals, cruelty is slicing open animals throats and snapping their spines. I tire of these comparisons to human cruelty to humans. Humans deserve what they get as a species because of what they do to INNOCENT animals...that's KARMA, case closed. Animals are never deliberately cruel. Humans should skin each other for human leather/fur/corpse meat and leave the animals alone. At least humans have laws and families to protect them. Animals have NOTHING but a handful of humans born with empathy and compassion trying to help them. Humans with empathy and compassion ARE allowed to get angry and pissed off about what humans do to animals. It is real expression of our grief and pain in our souls that we must be witness to human cruelty and virtually powerless to stop it such is the disgusting selfishness and gluttony of most humans. All of you whiners who don't know the difference between calling someone names and chopping off an animals head need to go watch some more of the videos showing what humans do to animals. BIG DIFFERENCE. I support PETA's creative and often times shocking campaigns because I know that real horrific cruelty is what humans do with every purchase to our animal friends that have no protective rights. PETA's sardonic wit is spot on.

Posted by: Deborah Ellyson | July 21, 2008 04:32 PM

Ms. Stone seems to have acted her real character in that movie where she is an ice-pick murderer who shows her naked crotch to a room full of detectives. (Don't remember the name of the movie with Michael Douglas.) She may not respond to PETA, but at least the publicity shows the public what kind of person is hiding behind that aging overly made up pasty face.

Posted by: Ana D. | July 21, 2008 05:23 PM

Has anyone experienced PETA NOT posting your message on this blog? It is very frustrating to see PETA staffers do this after I spend alot of TIME on them. Most of my posts are completely appropriate in everyway. Animal haters are allowed to say the most ignorant things but if someone relays their experience in how PETA could be MORE competent in activism, they are deleted, even while admitting that you love PETA and are a paying member as well as acknowledging their victories: SOMETHING IS WRONG!

Posted by: Gerry | July 21, 2008 06:41 PM

Posted by: Marjorie Hass | July 21, 2008 10:27 PM

just curious.. how do you think that degrading a human being by making rude comments and assumptions, calling them names, etc. is going to make them any kinder or sympathetic to your cause? I do not eat animals, nor do I wear fur or support any cruelty to any living thing, and that would include humans. Am I not allowed to state my opinion without you (vega4animals) turning on me as well, making self righteous judgments about me without knowing me at all? It is just ridiculous to make it so personal when you have no idea what I do or who I am. Really, the vitriol I am reading on these posts reminds me of an episode of "Jerry Springer" , which I have watched in horror on one occasion for 5 minutes as I flipped the channels on my t.v. What on earth has happened to good manners, and yes, I would include animals on the list of those who should also be treated with respect and love. FYI, I think that the picture is awful, I cannot believe that people actually wear fur OR leather, it sickens me, but so does name calling and hatred, for any reason.

Posted by: Lisa P. | July 22, 2008 01:11 AM

Its sad to think that someone in the Media with such an influence on other humans would still not take time to REALLY think about what shes doing. Because when people take time to stop and think about thier actions thats when they really see right from wrong. Hoprfully the letter will make her both stop and think. :)

Posted by: Elizabeth | July 22, 2008 12:34 PM

wow some people live in little glass bubbles, humorless worlds where every one is a saint. Be sure never to watch stand up comedy for you may faint at all of the insults. I laughed out loud at this new tactic by PETA. I love it and I love many of the witty cutting edge creative educational things they come up with. The new spay-nueter spot with the parents talking to the teenage daughter is brilliant. Do you have any idea how boring and ineffective PETA would be if all they ever did was ask please, pretty please to heartless scum who WILL NEVER have any compassion for the pain and suffering of others? For those who live in the real world...this is an FYI...PETA has stated in the article that they have patiently and compassionately tried to educate Sharon "heart of Stone" about the horrific fur industry for YEARS TO NO AVAIL. When reasoning fails, you must try a new tactic. Oh and keep this in mind, you may be defending Stone from well deserved insults..but she has no empathy...she would probably not blink an eye to have you skinned and make a handbag out of you.

Posted by: vegan4animals | July 22, 2008 01:51 PM

lexlythius: thank you for your interesting comment and endeavour! concerning human rights i can just agree with you but concerning BB i have to focus on the point that she is only against the cruel practice of kosher and hallal killing of animals and she made peace with the great imam of Paris Mosque who confirmed that she is right to ask that animals must be stunned before being killed! the same misunderstanding happened to Erwin Kessler in Switzerland who was put to prison because he asked the same thing! being against kosher and hallal killing doesn't mean to be a racist! i think being against this kind of cruel animal killing doesn't make a nazi of someone! i have many muslim and jewish friends who think exactly in the same way! isn't it! Peace!

Guys, look. Most of us are angry and maybe some would like to kill her but remember, She is just human.Would you like to be called bitch? hag? cruella devil? i wouldnt. but wih all the fur? i definately think she could use a wardrobe change... but that DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN BE SO BITCHY ABOUT IT. Guys chill, okay... PETA, you could do much more with that money.Think Animals...

Posted by: kelsh21 | July 22, 2008 03:30 PM

Animals are beautiful. But why waste such beauty by putting it on a human. Animals have their own beauty und we humans have our own. Fur is probably nice and warm...but what is it worth hurting an animal for it? Why can't companies go looking for fur that has been shed off instead of killing a beautiful creature? Looking for beautiful fur, well that's just UGLY!!!

Posted by: KJ Luna/Sangei | July 22, 2008 03:55 PM

Sharon, baby!, you are so egocentric that you wouldn´t mind live in the planet on your own being observed by monkeys only. Do u understand (I´m not sure) that people won´t go to see your films more because you wear fur, does not go because they are simply bad. Think baby think you have done enough films do something for the world, use your time and your money for something good to the natura and the animals of this planet, you can do it, DO IT.

This comment did not get posted July 21, so I'll try again:

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7423089.stm:
"I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else,"
"And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma?"
But Stone added she "cried" after the Tibetan Foundation asked her to help quake victims. Stone, 50, said: "They wanted to go and be helpful, and that made me cry.
"It was a big lesson to me that sometimes you have to learn to put your head down and be of service even to people who aren't nice to you."

The Chinese are paranoid about the Tibet and that's why they picked on her. The interview was given to a Hong Kong TV crew and the whole thing snowballed from there.

Thanks, PETA

If this aging 2d rate starlet was hit by a bus tomorrow I would not care one bit. Cruel self indulgent people like Sharon do not deserve the money and success they have.

this 'fur hag' (oh yes she is.. and big time too) who insists on lecturing other people about 'it's not nice to be unkind to other people'.. DUHHHH!!! (urhm.. would possibly animals also come into this self preach to others equation of hers?) and who revels in adorning her ageing physique with the skins and furs of so many tormented and tortured animals is quite frankly a blatantly and obviously hopeless case..
that is the simple fact of the matter..
and ps. yes.. there IS something the matter and very wrong with this person.. there is no doubt about THAT!!

LOL Great idea, but it might be a waste of money after all I doubt there will be much there to scan in the first place. =} I just call the pound & report a rabid coyote on the loss, next time she steps out for a night on the town. It be a easy mistake to make after all.

i hope she fucking rots in hell

Posted by: olivia | July 26, 2008 03:03 AM

well, I really think she's got a problem, maybe a little disturbed, if you only see her movies, you will find out what's her problem. But I think that a scan will be a waste of time there's gonna be NOTHING inside her brain.
Maybe we should try a publicity where a bear has a coat of Sharon's skin to see her reaction and we should do it with everyone in that business i mean Paris hilton, jennfier Lopez etc... that would be nice to see. Sometimes you should see yourself in someone's place in this case there are gonna be the fur.

I can't BELIEVE the utterly retarded dribble I have to open my Inbox to sometimes!!!!

SHIT!!

Are we actually DISCUSSING this???

Posted by: Adriyn Grey | July 26, 2008 08:46 PM

OK, here is MY deal.

I eat meat.

I have no real intention of the CESSATION of eating meat, as it were.

I HATE factory-farming in addition to scores of other animal-rights and environmental atrocities that happen as a result of animal agriculture.

Even in the pragmatic of lights, it's bad for the CROPS, that of course being the flesh of said animals.

What I hope will eventually happen is that vegans and carnivores and everyone in between (ME!!) to get their heads out of their malnourished keisters and come to a REALISTIC middle-ground that takes the needs and even wants of everyone, even the animals to a rational extent, into account.

Until then, we are going to be gabbing about celebrities with no apparent end in sight for NO APPARENT REASON.

This is PETA.....

not TMZ!!!!

Excuse me, tktkr?
What gives you the right to proclaim all of China are fur-wearing, pet-eating barbarians?
What, do races affect the brain? That, because I'm a vegetarian and sickened by Sharon and Chinese, I'm brain dead?
She looks like she's wearing an ENTIRE ANIMAL. Or if a bear is mauling her. Which would be what she deserves, with the fur,fin,feet and China comment thing and all.

Sharon stone, her face says it all.She is nothing but a cold-blooded bitch!!! She does not have a brain to start with, she's a lost case!!!

Posted by: priscilla | July 29, 2008 10:27 PM

i don't think she will stop wearing fur. she might eventually come around, but humans do what they want so if what she wants is to wear fur then we can't stop her. but what we can do is try our best to convince her that her wanting fur is killing animals. if we can convince her then we can have her as an example that people can change for the better.

i really hope one day she'll reliize how cruel and disgusting it is to wear fur.
i really did like her up til now.

This woman is fuck up !!!

Posted by: karina | August 7, 2008 07:08 PM

She is a cold hearted bitch maybe that is why her movies suck. Obama didn't want her to be at any of his events. He doesn't even know who she is. Why did she waste her money going?
