Yesterday, at Rihanna’s book-signing at the Fifth Avenue Barnes & Noble in New York City, one animal-loving fan asked the pop sensation a question that clearly had been weighing on her mind: “Would you consider going fur-free?” To the fan’s delight, Rihanna replied, “I will.”
Is Rihanna being sincere? Let’s hope she’ll realize that fur is “rated R”—as in repulsive, rotten, and ruthless—and will leave animal corpses out of her closet for good. As you may know, Rihanna was included on last year’s Worst Dressed List, but if she makes good on her word, she may escape the dishonor this year.

Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

In this modern day and age, no-one should be wearing fur. Where do we get the right to kill and skin a living thing just so that we can flash fur. In today’s time, it is not about keeping warm, it is all about being flashy!! In the dark ages, I can understand the need, but we no longer need to do that, we can make our own fabrics in order to keep warm. Come on get with the programme!

I think she wasnt being sincere, she is cynical and she loves to schock. She is a VERY BAD GIRL. She is rude, really rude. She only thinks of HERSELF and doesnt deserve her sucess.
One day she will lose everything and nobody will remember who she was.

She’ll never pledge to go fur free, she is just as dillusional as all the other celebrities still wearing fur! she contributes to the killing of millions of animals, she deserves to be skinned alive!
