PETA JUST GOT A LITTLE CRAZIER

Talk about crossing the line!
A PETA activist got into designer’s Donna Karan’s house and showed her a video, much to the designer’s surprise and dismay.
When Karan, who has been targeted by PETA throughout Fashion Week for using fur in her designs, finally came home, she was accosted by the infiltrator, who immediately turned on a graphic DVD of animals being harvested for their pelts.A horrified Karan said, “I can’t watch this now. I have somewhere to be . . . I just really don’t have the time.” When the PETA lady protested, Karan said, “I’ve seen all these [videos], but for me it’s just purses and accessories.”
That prompted the PETA woman to shoot back, “But for me and millions of other people, these are animals. They suffer terribly as they are electrocuted, gassed and skinned alive for their pelts.”
According to McGraw, Karan said, “Look, nobody loves their dogs like I do . . . I feel like my privacy is being invaded. How did you get in here?” Then she walked away.
The house manager then told the infiltrator, “Whatever you were trying to do, you can forget about it,” before screaming at the doormen for letting the prankster in.
Karan didn’t get back to us, but PETA isn’t letting up. As the designer displays her collection today at her showroom on Greenwich Street, protesters wearing Donna Karan masks will be outside bludgeoning bloodied stuffed rabbits.
While we love animals and we’d do anything to protect them, breaking and entering is where we cross the line!
