Animal rights activists have recently began rave about Rihanna’s recent fashion choices even calling her a “freak”. PETA is slamming the pop star after she was spotted wearing a pair of snake skin boots last week as reported by Rumorfix.

This is what they had to say:

“Rihanna may not have a clue that snakes killed for boots are often nailed to a tree and skinned alive. Of course, they can’t go on Oprah to cry about it,” said a PETA spokesperson, referring to Rihanna’s recent appearance on Oprah Winfrey’s The Next Chapter.

“Wearing reptile skin is creepy and callous, and it makes her look even more out of touch. She and Lady Gaga seem so desperate to be freaks instead of recognized for their talents that you have to wonder if they realize that they are being laughed at.”

Lady Gaga has been at odds with the group for weeks now after she was spotted wearing a fur Hermes coat.
