"Role Models" of Today

In a society where media influences the majority of what we do, its hard not to follow what the people we look up to are wearing and supporting. One big icon and "role model" is our dearly beloved Jennifer Lopez. With her new fashion line in stores, many fans are running in order to support her and her new creations. The sad thing about this, is that Jennifer Lopez is strutting her models down the catwalk wearing fur.

It is no surprise to anyone what immorality it is considered to be caught wearing fur and even less supporting this horrible trend. But thanks to PETA, the world can now know the thought and process Jennifer Lopez is putting into her fashion designs. Unfortunately, you will discover no thought at all is being put when the poor animals she is solely depending on are being brutally killed.

"When the fur is finally peeled off over the animals’ heads, their naked, bloody bodies are thrown onto a pile of those who have gone before them. Some are still alive, breathing in ragged gasps and blinking slowly. Some of the animals’ hearts are still beating five to 10 minutes after they are skinned," stated an undercover PETA reporter. Now imagine this being done hundreds of time. Whats the end result? ONE fur coat.

The funny thing about this is, that PETA has let Lopez know about their knowledge in what she does to these poor animals, and still Lopez insist on denying these accusations. Now why go around looking up to a woman who can't even take responsibility for her own actions? She manufactured many fur items for her line "sweet face" and ended up calling it "high end." What this "smart business woman" doesn't know is that there are so many designers out there today making a living in designing clothes and not even once have they used fur, but are still considered high end. Things should be considered high end when its good quality, not when hundreds of animals were murdered just to make one clothing item.

Now, what us the people have to do, is start reconsidering our morals and values. A role model should be a person that motivates us in becoming a better person and being successful in life. Is Jennifer Lopez doing this by promoting the gruesome slaughter of hundreds of animals?
