Group unleashes fur(y) at skater
I’M not sure how a small tuft of fox fur on the left shoulder of his costume is supposed to help Johnny Weir win a gold medal in Vancouver later this month, but the figure skater’s taste in fashion doesn’t sit well with at least one animal-rights group. Weir initially rebuffed Friends of Animals when the group criticized him for wearing fur. But it’s 2010 and when you try to stand your ground refuse bow to pressure groups, these people come after you even harder. They’re no longer content to just chalk things up to differences of opinion, and go on to the next cause of the day. Weir seriously underestimated the power and reach of such groups. “I totally get the dirtiness of the fur industry and how terrible it is to animals. But it’s not something that’s the No. 1 priority in my life,” he told reporters on Jan. 26. “There are humans dying everyday. There are thousands, if not millions, of homeless people in New York City. Look at what just happened in Haiti.
