NEW YORK - Beyonce Knowles had several surprise guests at a recent dinner, where members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals peppered the pop star with questions about her fur use.
An eBay auction offered fans a chance to dine with Knowles, and PETA secretly placed the winning bid. At the dinner Wednesday at the chic Nobu 57 restaurant, members of the animal rights group confronted Knowles about wearing fur coats and using fur in her clothing line, House of Dereon.
A video of the encounter, posted on http://www.tmz.com, shows a stunned Knowles, unresponsive to the allegations and appealing to others in her group to react. The PETA guests, whose tone was conversational but persistent, are eventually kicked out of the restaurant.
A spokesman for the singer told The Associated Press on Friday that Knowles, 24, had no comment on the incident.
PETA, known for its untraditional methods of raising awareness about animal rights, said it had previously attempted to reach Knowles through faxes, letters and rallies outside her concerts.

What "rights" do animals have? From whence do those rights arise?

It's a patented process using different epoxy and polyester resins. Takes about 2 weeks from beginning to end. They are very durable and we give a 1 year unconditional guarantee.

Correct you are. It is "The Luna Moth"
Actias luna . It is found all over the eastern USA. I raise all of mine personally...about 500-1000 a year over 3 broods (normally).
I've always done it. I'm kinda wierd...but, then, I am HERE on Freerepublic. Pretty much says it all.

Beyonce is prettier than Naomi.
Definitely. She's gorgeous and I've seen her on talk shows, very down to earth, not afraid to act goofy. Seems sweet.
Naomi, however, would've kicked some PETA butt. LOL
PETA is definitely a heinous group that should probably be outlawed for its pro-terrorist stand re the groups like Animal Liberation Front.
http://www.spikedhumor.com/articles/10624/Penn_and_Teller_PETA.htmlWhy didn't someone throw those jackasses out?
And you're right, Beyonce is gorgeous...
(Beyonce)
Sadly, after years of being bullied by Peta, Naomi finally gave in to them; now she's one of their celebity drones. Naomi may be tough on the "little people" but I'm betting Beyonce will turn out out to be the stronger one when the chips are down.
