“Greedy” Janet Jackson Right About A Fur Legend Lasting Forever

Pamela Anderson has called Janet Jackson “greedy” for agreeing to be the cover girl for Blackglama’s ad campaign, “What Becomes A Legend Most?”
Anderson told OUT magazine, “It’s disappointing. She has spoken out against fur before. I don’t know why some people stop listening to their heart. I guess some people get greedy, but it’s sad.”
Jackson is keeping mum about the criticism and instead using every opportunity to insert (more than likely highly scripted) positive words about the company that’s paying her to do so.
“What makes a legend, to me, is someone who has made a major mark on the world that lasts forever,” Jackson said. Well, it’s true the coat she wears will probably make a more lasting mark than her on the world in terms of leaving its footprint on the environment.
According to a Peta factsheet, real fur is finished with chemicals to keep it from rotting–rendering it less than biodegrading. Yes, some faux furs are made with less than eco-friendly chemicals, but it also takes 20 times the amount of energy to produce a real fur coat from animals raised on farms than it does to make a synthetic one. And like all animal farms, there is feces galore and the manure eventually makes its way into the water supply.
