Kim Kardashian: Crocodile Skin Handbag Lands Reality Star in Hot Water With PETA

KIM Kardashian has come under fire for owning a crocodile skin handbag.

The reality TV star has been seen carrying a Birkin bag made from reptile hide in recent days and the animal rights organization PETA has lashed out at her for causing pain and suffering to an innocent animal for the sake of style.

“For every alligator or crocodile-skin accessory, an animal was likely beaten but still conscious and able to feel excruciating pain as his or her skin was peeled off,” said PETA in a statement.

“These animals feel fear and pain and they don’t want to die. Alligators and crocodiles have no real legal protection, but they have done nothing to deserve the violent treatment that they endure.

“PETA urges consumers to watch Joaquin Phoenix‘s video expose of the cruel exotic-skins industry and vow today never to buy items made from the skin of alligators, snakes or crocodiles.”

Meanwhile, Kim has reportedly been talking babies with beau Kanye West!

Kim gushes about how happy she is with Kanye all the time and she is already talking babies with him too,” a source said.

“She is really head over heels for him and she’s always wanted to be a mom and Kim is really hopeful that Kanye will be the guy she finally has a family with.

“They’ve both talked about how they would love to have children, and about how they both think the other would make a perfect parent. She won’t get pregnant before her divorce is finalized but I would not be surprised if they start trying for a family the second the ink is dry on her divorce papers.

“She says she wants a baby with literally every guy she dates, but maybe this time she actually means it.”

    She is too stupid to care about animals.  All she cares about is a $30,000.00 purse and mink coats.  Shame on her for not caring what today’s world thinks of animal abuse and is wearing them!  PETA should kick her ass next time a little harder than just throwing powder at her.

    What absolute and utter nonsense from PETA, as per usual. Alligators and crocodiles being skinned by any responsible farm have the brain destroyed and the spinal cord severed at the neck, so it’s patently impossible for them to feel any pain while they’re being skinned because the brain doesn’t exist anymore to feel pain and the spinal cord doesn’t connect to it to transmit any nervous impulses to it even if it did. Unfortunately nobody at PETA understands anything about alligator physiology such as the fact that the muscles continue to twitch for quite a long time after death making it appear as though they’re still feeling something. Spoiler: they’re not. The crocodile skin industry is one of the better and more sustainable of the skin industries and often has important links with remaining wild habitat, and I say that not as a farmer or anyone who supports the industry but as someone who works for the conservation of crocodiles. Get off our side PETA.
