Somebody, Please Slap Pink

US singer Pink, aka Alecia Moore has joined that crazy PETA group and is urging people not to buy Australian wool. Oh please, give me a break.

In a video narrated by Pink, she said: "I am calling on consumers to check labels on sweaters before buying them, and if they're merino wool or made in Australia, to leave them on the racks." The video also includes scenes of sheep having their throats cut.

Celebrities should be careful about what they say. Or at least be aware that what they say could be detrimental to say, that country’s economy. Clearly celebs don't always have the full facts. Treasurer Peter Costello has now invited the singer to speak with local sheep farmers in an effort to change her mind.


Considering the Australian wool industry is big business for the Australian economy, I’m sure farmers will be pissed off after losing money first from the drought, then a cyclone, and now some animal rights group launching a gruesome campaign to stop the sale of wool.

Not cool Pink. I'm so never downloading Pink's music again.


See, this sheep looks so happy.
