“So sorry PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), don’t be mad at me, be mad at the police.” The controversial statement was recently made by actress/comedian Tiffany Haddish, who has vowed to wear fur everyday to protest police killing black people. As reported by USA Today, Haddish also stated that animals are important, “to keep” her warm.
The video
Haddish posted a video after taking a fur vest from a fan – the video, posted on Instagram, garnered over 230,000 likes and dozens of responses. One person wrote:
Dogs are apart of the wolf family, how would you feel if someone skinned your dog alive for a tacky fur coat ? Smh 🤦🏻 I’m black and Ik this is wrong.
Someone else wrote:
How does more violence and death solve anything?
And:
If there are people who believe that animals are worth more than people of colour, should we direct our anger at the people or the animals? How does it make sense to condone violence in one case and condemn it another? People shouldn’t be killing animals for fur and they shouldn’t be killing other people because of their skin colour. And nowhere does it say that standing up for one cause precludes standing up for the other.
Some apparently support Haddish’s protest:
Good for you Tiff,Tiff. I wear fur and will continue to wear real fur. That’s that group thoughts not mine. And, I dare a mutha to throw sh*t on my fur. All these years they been wearing fur. As soon as other’s started sporting fur it’s taboo. UH, uh. I looks good in mine, Ha, ha Our culture loves fur. Wear it. I’m wearing my fur coat when I come to see ya.
PETA
PETA, which was called out in Haddish’s video, responded:
We love you, Tiffany, and as an animal rights organization, we advocate for and believe in kindness towards all, including animals,” the organization commented. “We hope that you choose to protest in a different way that doesn’t harm any humans or any animals, but is kind to all.”

Magical
A lovely rescue
It sounds to me like she is trying to make antagonists of people who might otherwise have supported her.
Two wrongs never make a right, and it is pretty evident that Tiffany’s action is actually born out of a twisted form of jealousy (“how dare they care about any other form of life, while anyone of my race is suffering). It’s childish, but unfortunately it is not that uncommon in people of all races.
stupid, stupid, ignorant woman. Police does not only kill black people, the ones who are trigger happy kill anything on site, they do not care who or what, the biggest problem are the ones responsible for them. Unfortunately, in our days we find many criminals working as police
This is about the dumbest thing I have every heard and that someone would actually support such actions is also mind boggling, but then again in this day and age, why shouldn’t I believe it. Well I do NOT support Tiffany Haddish, supporting one atrocity to supposedly stop another is senseless!
Do you think that the cops are going to say
We have to stop killing black people because she wearing fur
I don’t think so
So the only thing your hurting is the animals
How F**k is that ideal
That so far out of this world
Dumb ass! I don’t know what kind of battery acid she’s on, but her so-called “reasoning” makes no sense at all. Instead of wasting my time trying to figure out WTF she’s trying to prove, I’m satisfied to consider her ignorant ass just another pathetic floozie who needs furs to make up for some major character flaws. Has nothing to do with a cause. Asshole
That’s one seriously sick, cruel woman and she’d have worn fur regardless; she’s just using this “police killing” thing opportunistically or rather, parasitically. You made a mistake in the title with the word “animals.” I cringe when I see “animals” mixed up with “people”…animals are vastly better than us. We’re the self-proclaimed wise and moral species…LMAO! ?
It’s that brain-eating disease again! Boycott her movies, animal lovers!
What does animal fur have to do with blacks? The killing of innocent animals shouldnt suffer because of an ignorant person.
Oh she’s an actress all right; she’s practicing being a human being. She’s failed. She doesn’t get any awards. She’s a very stupid ignorant bitch yapping as if the world is here to just satisfy her needs. That’s a narrow-minded view bitch. You need to be careful of the people you meet on the way up because they’re the same ones you going to meet on the way down, after making a stupid statement like that you fucking cunt.
I’m confused are the animals from which the fur came killing black people ?? I didn’t think so , so she’s not doing much of anything as far as helping or making a point.
Entitled bit@hes are mostly heartless skanks
One has nothing to do with the other.this person just trying to use that to feel better about wearing dead animals Actress comedian that’s all
Tiffany who? PETA loves you? How about you wear your furs to protest against all the black on black crimes. Can’t? Why? Cops don’t kill blacks for shits and giggles. You pull a gun on them and you will be shot as you should. You attack them and you deserve to be shot.
WTF?!! Shaking my head with this one.
Ignorant RACIST CUNT!!!
SO WHAT MAKES YOUR PEA BRAIN FUNCTION,,,, not brains for sure!!!
ALL LIVES MATTER,, except yours??
