The PETA affiliation is odd. Not only does Dita wear fur, she also eats meat and wears leather.

I'm upset with PETA for rolling over on their strict "principles". She dances with ostrich feathers and collects taxidermies.
Now on her messageboard, she said she met with the PETA president and asked if it was okay to collect taxidermy if it was killed humanely. Humanely decorating your house with carcasses?!
It's her personal choice to wear fur and dance with animal feathers, but why did PETA think it was okay?
On their website, I learned that their organization is very strict about the difference between believing in animal welfare (which is to eat and where animal products but think they should be treated humanely), and animal rights (which is to believe that animals are equal and their lives have equal sanctity. Therefore, no eating and wearing ANY animal products is their stance). They side with "animal rights".
Hypocrites.

Do they know that on her website when people have asked her if she cares about the animals that her fur coats were made from, she basically said you can't avoid offending someone?
I'm a vegetarian and I respect others who aren't. It's their choice. But c'mon, PETA, get a clue about who you're hiring or remember your so called principles.

I know she wears real fur too and although I don't and probably never will wear real fur, leather etc I usually don't mind others wearing it esp. if it's for example an inherited or vintage/second hand fur coat etc....it just seems that Peta (and I'm not a Peta fan) is inconsequent here.
Maybe they don't know about Ditas love for fur and someone should tell them? B)

I agree with you. Even though I feel animals are suffering and I don't personally want to contribute anymore to it and I try to be aware of that, I know others disagree and that's okay because I won't save animals by preaching to people. Only leading by polite example helps.
PETA is soooo hypocritical! I'm disappointed in their inability to walk the walk.
So as long as you're a celebrity, that's all that matters. They're just hiring random famous people.

As far as the possibilty of Vintage animal furs being okay for PETA? They always seemed like they were really strict about those things before. They advocate veganism, which is personally not for me but fine for them.
So, if they do come out and find it's okay that Dita collects vintage fur stoles (which she says she does and has a personal furrier dye for her in different colors) then I guess KFC can collect cryogenically frozen chickens that were tortured way-back-when and Col. Sanders will be okay.LOL!

Not only is Dita hypocritical, but mostly PETA. I'm sure she can believe animals shouldn't suffer, but the woman collects taxidermy, folks! She wears those old-fashioned fox furs where the fox clasp closes by the fox teeth biting on its' tail. That ain't subtle. I love the '40s but that was always eww to me and I've found other ways to be historically accurate, and for the sake of not scaring my dog, Fifi, I found it okay to sacrifice wearing the dead animal around my neck clasping its' own tail.

Thank you for posting Emilee!

I agree with these comments! I am a vegetarian and I do not wear real fur, but I don't hate Dita for doing so. I DO raise an eyebrow at PETA not minding, though. I just don't understand them. As pro-animal-rights as I am, I find most of their ways of preaching stupid and I feel they're hypocritical a lot of the time.

Dita's beautiful, yes, but that shouldn't be a sole reason for using her in a campaign. I guess she fits the theme of the whole... sex thing, but still, she isn't a PETA person and shouldn't be made out to be someone she isn't.

I saw one of her Viva Glam ads today in Harpers Bazaar

i don't think dita is a hypocrite - she's merely a model/celeb collecting a paycheck. if peta wants to use her despite the fact that she wears fur and collects taxidermy, that's their [unusual] business decision. i just hope she doesn't stop wearing fur...

i don't think dita is a hypocrite

Uhm, it's a little hypocritical to advertise for an organization that does tactics you have alluded to thinking was not right before (like spilling fake blood on fur-wearers), but as I said before, it's mostly hypocritical on PETA's part. I still love Dita, and you may too, but it seems to be a 180 degree turn no matter what reasons there are for her to advertise for this particular program, it doesn't change the fact that PETA is a strict organization she is representing. Don't get me wrong, I still love her, but you gotta say, ity's an odd pairing.

- she's merely a model/celeb collecting a paycheck...

Strange, I thought Dita had more going for her than to just collect paychecks.

So, you don't think she believes in AIDS awareness or spaying dogs at all? She's only collecting a paycheck? Hmm, as a fan I trusted her word more than that when she chose to represent something.

I don't think Dita's a hypocrite at all. She may be part of a campaign for a company that is against wearing real fur, but she isn't part of the organisation itself. She isn't doing one of those "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaigns, she's doing something else. She may very well believe in the benefits of spaying animals.

PETA is, though. A hypocrite.

I second that.

Dita is so hypocritical..

Yeah, I thought about the "I'd rather go naked than wear fur campaign" and how she didn't do that. I give her and PETA credit for that, but still marginal. I don't mean to be harsh on Dita, because I lay blame on PETA, but it's just ODD.

To a fur-wearer, PETA is an extreme organization that's pretty political. It isn't the Humane Society.

What would she have to do to be part of the organization itself? Work there? Answer phones and work the office? LOL.

She's a rep for their program which is even more than posing for an add.

That's like working on an anti-abortion committee's campaign to further their family values and then going out to get an abortion.

i was a little perplexed when i saw dita doing ads for peta. but as others have said, i think the most hypocrite is peta. why would you want to be represented by someone that wears leather and fur? i mean. dita might agree on the campaign she's advertising, but them? i find it really hypocrite of them, but its not the first time i fnd something strange with peta and people affiliated with them.
remember the prada campaing that joaquin phoenix did? i mean you're a vegan and you ad a company that mostly uses leather?

I'm laughing at the PETA ad. It's more hypocritical on their part. Maybe they didn't do their research and/or don't care.
