Chrissie Hynde arrested at Gap
protest
(Launch) - Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde was arrested in New York
City last Thursday during an animal-rights protest at a Gap clothing
store. A police representative said that approximately 20 protesters from
the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organization were
protesting at a Gap store. The group was protesting the clothing chain's
alleged purchase of black-market leather. After they had entered the store
and began destroying goods, Hynde and three others were arrested and
charged with criminal mischief at approximately 2 p.m. ET. Hynde and three
other protestors were led away in handcuffs and taken to the Midtown North
police precinct. Hynde said the clothing chain's leather jackets - with
inside labels that read "Made in India" - are made of leather from cows
slaughtered in India, where cows are considered sacred.
"India does not import leather and it is the largest exporter of
leather in the world. So it seems highly unlikely that the Gap buys its
leather from America, where the slaughterhouse practices are considered
humane and legal, and send the leather to India, stitch up the jacket and
send it back to America." The Gap stated that the jackets were purchased
from apparel factories. "Apparel factories often source their leather from
other countries," the Gap statement read. "We expect apparel factories to
source leather from vendors that follow applicable laws and the industry's
best practices, including the humane treatment of animals." Hynde said
she'd support the PETA cause forever. "I'm always available to PETA,
including posthumously," she said. "I've agreed that they can use my image
in any way at all after I die to promote the cause."
[MIKE's COMMENTARY:
PETA = People Emphatically Totally
Assine
Is it an Cosidence the Enterainers
Last Name sounds like the Animal Skins She had
Destroyed at the "GAP Clothing
Store" in NYC? Hynde = Hide Guess her family didn't
take "Hooked on Ponics", had
"flunked spelling" and remedial "socialism accecptance
training". Meaning, She didn't get
"spanked" on her 'hynde'ie' when she displayed her
anti-social behavior. I just can
see the store's insurance claim for property damage being
rejected on the grounds that
socailly disadvantaged rich Snotty people who have nothing
better to do with their lives or
money destroying consumer goods in public fall in the
catagory under "natural diasters,
acts of God. And coordinated public display of moron
behavior based on ludicus rational
intended to bring focus of fans for cheap media hype
to lead into future record sales.
" The line that grabe the most attention of this moronic
behavior was that Hyde
said,"...I'm always availible to PETA, including
posthumously",
she said, "I've agreed that they
can use my image in any way at all after I die to promote
their cause." Gee, Hummm, one wonders if
that means that she could get "mounted and
stuffed" like her favorite Alasken
Grizzley and put on promoting public display for fans
affection to gain donations for
PETA., Hummm the way PETA members, and leadership
have acted in the past, I wouldn't
out it past them since they proclaim they care more
for "animals" than they do for
people. ~ Then you would say she would Truely be a Mounted Hynde for PETA
. Would make a good bumper sticker or bill board. ~ Mike ~
