So what? Well, here at PETA, we love Pink because of her compassion for animals. She is a longtime PETA booster and a lifelong animal protector, and she kicks some serious derrière when it comes to shining the light on animal cruelty.
She's had a hand in so many of our campaigns—from that enormous billboard in protest of horse-drawn carriages that we erected in Times Square this year to the anti-fur ad that she shot for us a few years back. She called out Beyoncé for wearing fur, and she's written to both Prince William for his support of hunting and to Queen Elizabeth II for not ditching the bear fur for faux fur on her Guards' caps. But wait, there's more!
Pink narrated our Australian wool exposé, and called for a global boycott of Australian wool during a live concert in Paris! Then—not to leave our Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign hanging—Pink reached out to her fans about the cruelty that goes into every KFC bucket and box by placing a link to our Web site on the front page of her official fan site! Oh, and did I mention that she did that to coincide with the release of her 2006 album I'm Not Dead? Brilliant!
And believe-you-me, she works behind the scenes, too, often penning letters to animal-exploiting companies and individuals, including KFC and Siegfried and Roy, just to name a couple. The singer was even gracious enough to open her home and host the kick-off party for PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk's book Let's Have A Dog Party! last year! OK, did I mention she rocks?
Pink is seriously hardcore when it comes to helping out the animals, and we at PETA adore her for everything that she does. We wish you the best success on your new album, Pink! And you—get off your derrière and go buy it!

Pink could beat me up. I think I like that about her.

Animals need strong people (not just physically but morally) to stand up for them and their rights. I'm glad Pink is one of those strong people. And I love the green tights!

I admire Pink's straightforward, uncompromising stand for animals. Go Pink!

I love you Pink for all you do for animals. Your music rocks and your heart is genuine and extremely empathetic. I feel the way you do about all animals and I appreciate how much you are helping them. I heard once that you had pet Rats...I have had Rat kids for 15 years now and they are the best. Thanks for showing your beautiful heart to us Pink. The animals and all of us who love them thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Pink's OK! Much better than that so-called "next big thing" Katy Perry: i saw the tiresome singer with an "astrakhan skin" coat on (on Perez Hilton site).
You must beat a pregnant sheep till she has an abortion, and that treatment make the lamb's wool curl. After skinned the lamb, you get "ASTRAKHAN". Think about it when you hear her boring tunes...
