Pipes Up for PETA
Want to find out more about what P!nk thinks about mink? Read
her exclusive interview with PETA below.
1. When did you first become concerned about animals and about
killing animals for fur?
I’ve always felt that animals are the purest spirits in the
world. They don’t fake or hide their feelings, and they are
the most loyal creatures on Earth. And somehow we humans think we’re
smarter—what a joke. Every time I had to do a report or a debate
in school, I would research the topic of animal rights. I was horrified
to find the cruelty and pain that they were forced to endure at our
hands. How we used them in our race for “evolution” (i.e,
better products, more expensive hair dyes, better-tasting toothpaste,
prettier jackets). I wish every person was forced to know and learn
and experience the horrors that these animals go through at the cost
of our trends. We should know about the realities of the relationship
between humans and animals.
2. Did you wear fur at one time and have a change of heart,
or have you always been fur-free?
I would like to say I’ve always been fur-free so I could be
proud of myself. Unfortunately, I went through a selfish phase and
wore fur on a couple of occasions. But since then, I’ve wised
up and now boycott fur completely.
3. What do you say to people who wear fur or are pro-fur?
I believe in the saying “to each his/her own,” but I hope
they someday get bitten in the ass by the same kind of animal they
wear on their back.
4. Do you have any animals? Can you tell us any stories about
them?
I currently have two dogs and two rats. Oh, and a boyfriend—does
that count? My dog’s name is F**ker, and I let him eat whatever
he wants (except stuff that would make him sick) because I want him
to be happy. My other dog is Corky, and my rats are Thelma and Louise.
I love them very much. I aspire to have a lot of land one day, where
I will rescue and board many animals.
