Whoever threw the flour over the FURHAG may not have been with PETA but doing it for her own reasons. Maybe a less invasive approach could have worked better, however maybe she just needed something to make her wake up and smell the blood coming from her fur.

Lindsay Lohan stop acting like a victim, get a grip of yourself, afterall your the one who’s saying its 21st century and killing animals for fur is noticed more these days.

What’s even worse she wants to be seen as a good person, then she’s wearing somethings dead body! COME ON.

this whole thing is very strange! please go to check the hsus-site where the two – gyllenhaal and lohan are seen in actions against fur – and though they seem to wear it! i think honestly that some celebrities of the show-business are suffering from schizofrenia and are not able to control themselves! so we have not to give them too much importance! that means we got an animal-protecting hard core from hollywood and bollywood – like pam, joaquin phoenix, sir paul, john abraham etc. so we actually know them – and the rest are psychotic followers who don’t know what they want! so let’s just consider the positive ones and the others should be ignored…….

While the fur industry is unmitigated evil and brutality, committing assault does not exactly help our cause. It makes animal rights activists look crazy, and we really, really do NOT need that. I’d like to think we could ignore idiot celebs who wear fur, but star worship is engrained in our culture. Boycotting the movies of fur-wearing celebrities is an idea, but that unfairly penalizes actors who don’t wear fur and probably won’t discourage people from working with idiot girls like Maggie Gylenhaal and Lindsey Lohan.

As for throwing things on or at idiots wearing fur, the only thing I would hurl is invective.

I wouldn’t do it, but I can understand it.

First and foremost, it was flour. It wasn’t going to hurt anyone. It just creates a little mess.

But, in this climate of “terror” where governments and industries have LIED about the “threat” posed by “animal rights extremists” it is probably reasonable for someone to get fearful and worry that flour is something more dangerous, like anthrax. And that’s why I wouldn’t do it.

But the level of anger that the activist felt against Lohan is, in my opinion, completely justified. Fur is wrong and celebrities who wear fur are sick, nasty, assholes.

ALL of this worries me though. Some celebrities might stage events like this in order to get publicity. I think the media (including bloggers) ought to ignore celebrities and events like this. We ought not give them more attention than they deserve. We shouldn’t let wearing fur (or reactions to wearing fur) be newsworthy because then it’s an incentive to wear fur.

fbr, Firstly, “civilized” ways, as every history book has shown, and as everything going on in the world right now is showing, are by no means peaceful. What do you mean by civilized? Are you saying that the ways of civilized people are better than those of traditional indigenous peoples?
Secondly, ‘asking nicely’ never got any social justice movement anywhere. It simply falls in line with what the exploiters are willing to tolerate, because it is the exploiters who are in charge, isn’t it?
It is completely ridiculous that we are even considering flour on the head an act of violence. It’s insulting to other activists, and it’s insulting to the animals – whose situations (in comparison to Lindsay Lohan’s) are far worse than some flour getting dumped on their heads. What are you so afraid people will think? That we’re silly? That we’re scary? We should be asking ourselves why we are so put off by these stunts and we’ll probably realize that way down in the heart of it all – it’s because we want to please our abusers.

The Discerning Brute, please look up “violence” in the dictionary. Nobody is advocating non-action. There are civilized ways of advancing your cause, whatever cause it may be. Unfortunately people unable to compose logical arguments resort to childish stunts like this. Any organization that fails to absolutely denounce these types
of tactics is not an organization that can be taken seriously.

If someone throws white powder on a celebrity it is absolutely violent and qualifies as an attack. There’s no way to know that it’s just flour and Lindsay’s security guards would’ve been perfectly justified in using whatever force necessary to stop and apprehend the attacker.
