PETA Slams Kim Kardashian For Sporting Fox Fur Wardrobe (EXPLICIT PHOTO)

This is one publicity stunt Kim Kardashian didn't orchestrate herself.

Amidst the reality star's scandal over her remarkably short nuptials to Kris Humphries, PETA is targeting Kim Kardashian in a new billboard campaign that publicly criticizes her fox fur wardrobe.

First reported by Hollywood Life, the billboard shows an image of Kim Kardashian wrapped in fur next to a pair of young foxes and a message that reads: "KIM: These babies miss their mother. Is she on your back?"

"Kim knows that animals on fur farms are beaten, electrocuted, and often skinned alive," PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange wrote in a statement on their website. "We've explained it to her, and she's watched a video expose that was filmed inside fur farms. When Kim is ready to put an end to her relationship with fur, PETA will be happy to take her discards and donate them to the homeless."

PETA's fur campaign has received plenty of attention lately. Earlier this week, the group criticized Nintendo for the Super Mario Bros. character's Tanooki suit in the newly-released game for the Nintendo 3DS. The suit, modeled on Japanese raccoon dogs called tanuki, gives the video game character super powers in his quest to save the Princess.

PETA writes on its website:

When people learn that millions of innocent animals are beaten, boiled, hanged, and electrocuted for their fur every year; that each fur coat, each piece of fur lining or fur trim, and each fur cat toy represents the intense suffering of dozens of animals; and that furriers intentionally mislabel the fur of cats and dogs as fur from other species or as faux fur -- then every decent human being will want to go fur-free.

While the E! reality star prefers animal-skinned fashion, The New York Daily News reminds readers that her sister has taken a completely different stance on the matter.

Khloe Kardashian stripped down for PETA back in 2008 as part of the organization's "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign.

But PETA doesn't stop with simply criticizing the fur industry and its customers; they also propose some solutions. On their website, PETA's cruelty-free clothing guide offers tips on looking trendy without hurting any animals.

Kim would look alot better in clear plastic wrap. Hey, it would keep the rain off!!

Shameful. Are we still living in the caveman (or woman in this case) days?!

Kim deserves to be ripped for wearing fur, especially after she had seen the film of what they do to those poor animals, to get their fur...Shame on Kim...I can't believe she could be so ignorant, and heartless to wear fur...

Kim darling now a days we do not have to kill furry creatures for their fur when we can simulate their fur. It may not be as beautiful but you have assets that are left better visible and this is such a trivial amenity that you can do without. Remember behind you stand your fan club and although, in our opinion, you are exempt in this case because of all of that license you've back there you should concentrate on keeping the males who are men happy and the females who are in disparate need of what it takes to get motivated to get what you have, a pastry named in honor of you called "Tasty Cake'" for having all of that sweet sugar back there.

Isn't Kim's biggest fashion fail A WEDDING DRESS?
08:28 PM on 11/22/2011
The only real men are in Christ and about the dress I agree.
11:46 PM on 11/22/2011
Are you saying Christ is gay? Or is he straight and all those men inside him are forcing themselves on him?

I don't get it. The PETA spokesperson says that "when Kim is ready to put an end to her relationship with fur, PETA will be happy to take her discards and donate them to the homeless." So are they saying it's OK for homeless people to wear fur and not celebrities?
11:36 AM on 11/22/2011
Don't be obtuse. Obviously they would want no fur products to be made. They aren't going to just destroy them thus the poor animal suffered in vain. Homeless are always in need of coats in the winter. Best solution to a horrible situation.

F*** PETA, anyway. They've killed 20,000 animals in the last 12 years and no one gives them crap.

I know, they euthanize far more animals than they rescue, and no one seems to realize it. They are NOT the same as the ASPCA or any other animal rescue group.

The ASPCA is hardly a beacon of light, they kill animals also. http://www.nathanwinograd.com/?cat=8

Kim Kardashian is a parasite and no amount of censoring from some uneducated HP moderator is going to change that.

Kim Kardashian is a par asite just like her entire clan. They found an easy way to milk the stupid american public for every penny they got and then some; someone who makes a sex tape to get a TV gig and marries a man for publicity and endorsements and tells him about her intentions to divorce him at the same time as she tells the the public and press is nothing but vermin lacking a moral center. But I guess she is pretty so that should be fine.

BoycottKim.com - Boycott Kim Kardashian

WHY BOYCOTT KIM KARDASHIAN?

Kim Kardashian has made a mockery of American culture, doing whatever it takes to extend her fifteen minutes of fame so that she can selfishly profit from her celebrity status, by aligning herself with brands and products to promote. Through a series of distasteful and carefully planned publicity stunts, beginning with a strategically released sex tape, a scripted "reality" show, and now a (for profit) 72 day marriage, Kim Kardashian continues to bait the media into giving her more unjustified coverage and allowing her to cash in financially. Setting a horrible example for her young viewers and insulting Americans of all backgrounds and ages, Kim Kardashian cares little about the example she sets so long as her lust for attention and profits are met. Unfortunately, for many parents it is near impossible to monitor their children and keep them away from parasites like Kim Kardashian.

I agree completely. Good post. Well written.

If I was on a fist date, and my date said that she watches the Kardashians, i'd be like "Check, please!"

It's a deal breaker.

It would be indicative that you and me have NOTHING in common and that i basically hate everything you stand for: Stupid selfhishness, superficiality, false, deceptive, paid for, so-called, pretend 'beauty" and complete and total insensitivity of everyone else other than herself.

Her insatiable desire and embarrassing pursuit of attention is only slightly more nauseating than the level of response she elicits from all the wanna be spoiled princesses out there.

That's not fox fur. That's the shavings from her mustache, back, and beard.

Okay, that could be her biggest. But I would venture to say her second biggest fashion faux pas was the Vera Wang wedding gown she wore. For reasons too obvious to state.
