PETA Blasts ‘Trollsen Twins’ Over The Row’s Fur Backpack
Good news, Kim Kardashian. You're no longer PETA's Public Enemy No. 1.
That distinction now belongs to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who are under attack for designing a luxury backpack constructed from patches of animal fur for The Row.
Though Rachel Zoe—no stranger to flak from the animal rights group herself—has praised the $16,900 Pre-Fall 2012 backpack as "next season’s staple," PETA is seriously taking the CFDA winners to task.
"If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it's probably a Trollsen Twin—or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes, which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals," the animal rights group says in a statement to E! News.
"What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value. Sadly, it's the foxes, calves, and alligators—who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain—who pay the dearest price."
Ouch! If only Danny Tanner were here to usher in a feel-good resolution ...
