TV chef and food write Nigella Lawson caused controversy last night when she announced that she'd happily wear fur if she killed the animal herself. Appearing on The One Show on BBC1 Nigella was asked if she thought the fashion industry should outlaw fur. She commented,
"Going into a shop and buying a fur coat would be an act of weakness. But if I could go into the woods and kill a bear myself I would wear it proudly as a trophy.’’
People for the Ethical Treatement of Animals (PETA) were unsurprisingly unimpressed by her views and commented Nigella’s comments were ill-judged and show her in an unattractive light.’’
What do you think of Nigella's views? Do you agree or do you think it was insensitive?

That sounds horrible. She is a chef, after all. Do you really think she cares about animals in that light? It's a shame, but it's true.
1There are too many animal lovers out there for her to say such things. I know she is a chef, but geez! I love animals and am even a vegan.
2I think she's sending a message to all the fashion types! Because AS IF you'd see some Hollywood Diva doing that!
3There again it definitely sounds pretty harsh to be coming from such a Lady.
I would have said I don't buy fur and left it at that.
wtf?? that is awful.
4I am such a huge Nigella fan so I am pretty sad about this as I am really against fur. It's like finding out Santa isn't real
5Well, her comment might be insensitive, but I guess she has a good in that if all the celebs who don't mind wearing fur actually had to kill the animals themselves, and rip off the fur, they probably wouldn't wear any fur. It's easy to buy something in a shop, another story to face killing an animal.
But then I'm not sure that's what Nigella was trying to say..
6If you are a meat eater, leather wearer, i do not think you have the right to call a fur wearer horrible
