Katie Price called ‘cruel’ by animal rights activists for ‘wearing fur to court’
Katie Price has been branded "thoughtless and cruel" by animal rights campaigners for wearing what appeared to be real fur to court today.
The skint former model, 40, was mocked by furious followers over her outfit choice and now she’s been condemned by activists at PETA.
For her appearance at Crawley Magistrates Court this morning, Katie was pictured wearing what looked like a hat and coat made from the genuine article.
Her clobber sparked outrage among animal lovers, with Elisa Allen, Director of PETA UK, telling Mirror Online that Katie should hand over her pricey pelts.
She told us: "When it comes to wearing fur, Katie Price is a repeat offender who is driving animals to a painful death – and doing so wilfully, since she has been told again and again about the cruelty involved in capturing or rearing and slaughtering them.
"Today, most women wouldn’t be caught dead wearing the fur of animals who endured miserable lives, confined to tiny, filthy wire cages before their necks were broken…
"As the judge of the way animals are abused for their pelts, PETA would like to order Ms Price to donate her furs to us so that we can use them as bedding for orphaned animals or distribute them to refugees from war-torn countries to help them keep warm, as they’re the only people who have an excuse to wear fur."
Her followers flocked to Twitter to remark on her choice of clothes, with many slammed the vocal animal-lover for wearing what looked like real pelts.
One wrote: "Wearing real fur shows she’s truly is a vile piece of work.. So much for claiming she’s an animal lover, what she means is she only loves wearing their fur."
Another added: "Wat a grotesque looking fur hag. They say anyone wearing fur is either very thick or very cruel. Which is it Katie Price?"
A third tweeted: "Is that real fur she’s wearing?"
During today’s hearing, Katie pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and not having third-party insurance for her motor vehicle.
She was sentenced to a three-month driving ban and fined £1,100 plus costs, but the cash-strapped star said she needed some extra time to pay the penalty.
