PETA Slams Lady Gaga’s Meat Bikini
We totally called this! Just yesterday, we revealed Lady Gaga’s meat bikini for the cover of “Vogue Japan”. We said in that post that it was only a matter of time before PETA digs their claws into Gaga — and we were right!
Are we surprised?!?? Of course not! We expected the backlash! And PETA is not standing down.
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, said, “Lady Gaga’s job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body. No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so that’s the look they were going for, they achieved it.”
Okay, so that wasn’t as bad as I initially expected. Maybe they’re going easy on Gaga because she has publicly denounced wearing fur?

I am so not surprised that PETA piped in about Lady Gaga’s meat bikini, but I stopped taking PETA seriously a very, very long time ago. Most of their campaigns are very misogynist and they have succeeded in alienating a lot of women who support the ethical treatment of animals. Too bad PETA has not realized how to take part in the ethical treatment of women.
The thing is, they have men going naked too – so I don’t think they’re as misogynist as they’re made out to be. It just so happened the people most willing to strip were women – and let’s face it, fur is mostly used by women and female models, so it makes complete sense!
Gaga has publicly denounced fur, wears faux fur, and wore the Kermit outfit to show how ridiculous wearing real fur is. The meat bikini and eating the heart in one of her tour videos both demonstrate exactly what Ingrid states.
