Lady Gaga on the cover of Vogue Hommes
Lady Gaga has sparked outrage among animal rights activists with her latest controversial magazine cover, as the pop star appears naked and wearing nothing but raw, red meat on the front of Vogue Hommes Japan.
The photo — taken by Terry Richardson for the magazine’s September issue — prompted a strong reaction by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), which said in a statement, “No matter how beautifully it is presented, flesh from a tortured animal is flesh from a tortured animal. Meat represents bloody violence and suffering, so if that’s the look they were going for — they achieved it.”
The carnivorous cover is Gaga’s second one for Vogue Hommes Japan. For the first, the singer dressed as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, described herself as a mechanic by trade, and cheekily described an encounter with the real Lady Gaga.

Wow....I guess the members of PETA shouldn't shop at the local Super Market!!! There is raw meat there too. I understand people being against the abuse and mistreatment of animals, but animals used for food purposes is different. I mean don't tie "Fido" up to a tree and then don't feed him for days or weeks. People and supporters of PETA need to realize that not all people are salad eating freaks and that we like our meat!!!

PETA should concentrate on animal cruelty---not pictures of people wearing dead meat. Fishdog is right, you see this everyday at the supermarket.
