I think everyone has the right to have a point of view. PETA has their principles and well....THOSE WHO LOVE TO WEAR FUR AND EAT MEAT (SUCH AS MYSELF) should be able to exercise that right too. I don't think one preference over another makes anyone more or less compassionate when it comes to these sorts of issues and I just think that is the point Kelis is trying to make. It's just not fair for PETA to target individuals, particularly celebrities to enforce their own viewpoint any more than others should insist PETA change their points of view. I do however think they should change THEIR TACTICS. By changing their tactics (for example the finger pointing, the throwing the paint on individuals that choose to wear fur....etc..) I think they would gain more respect, hence the letter Kelis wrote to PETA does not acknowledge respect towards their tactics. SHE IS PROBABLY JUST ONE OF FEW CELEBRITIES that has spoken out about HER preference and PETA tactics....the only other one I know to have made a comment about paint throwing on her fur was Kimora Lee Simmons:-) Other celebrities just run, duck and hide and stay silent when they get "busted for wearing fur". Maybe others may think Kelis is being selfish or arrogant but in essence, I think PETA is also being selfish and arrogant by using certain tactics.
