PETA Targets Jessica Simpson Over Snakeskin

Jessica Simpson has been targeted by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) again — this time for wearing snakeskin.

Simpson was recently photographed wearing a jacket and shoes made from animal skin. Even the handbag she was carrying came courtesy of some dead animal — and that doesn’t go over very well with the folks at PETA. So, she has been sent a video by the controversial animal rights group urging her to change her ways and stop wearing outfits made from lizards, alligators and snakes.

“Did you know that mother snakes keep their eggs warm by wrapping their bodies around the eggs and then shivering to generate heat? Exotic animals are mostly unknown to us, and so is what they suffer before being turned into belts and bags?”narrator Joaquin Phoenix says in the video.

The clip has also been sent to stars including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Victoria Beckham, Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton.

This is not the first time PETA has attacked Jessica for her alleged mistreatment of animals: In 2008, the group ripped into the blonde for wearing a shirt baring the phrase “Real Girls Eat Meat.” Late last year, Jess was chastised for remarking that she was looking into buying a pet pig.
