NEWSFLASH!! PETA Calls Usher’s Furry New Hat ‘Sickening’… [PHOTOS]

Feb, 26 2014 | Written by ATLien
It seems Usher Raymond‘s furry ‘new look’ may have ruffled a few feathers!

You may have noticed that Usher has been sporting some furry new headgear recently that has created some stiff competition for Pharrell William’s grammy look.

The sexy crooner premiered his ‘Davy Crocket’ racoon type hat on the set of The Tonight Show studios in New York City, last Monday but just hours after his photograph hit the net, PETA pounced!

The animal rights organization issued a statement condemning Usher’s choice of head wear and referred to his furry new hat as ‘sad and sickening’.

Details + more photos of Usher & his hat below…

PETA released a statement to RumorFix regarding Usher’s furry hat, stating:

“When someone with so much good fortune fails to show even the smallest amount of understanding and mercy to others—in this case, animals whose very skin was taken from them and who died painfully for a hat—it is sad and sickening…”

For the record, ‘coonskin’ hats are usually made from the skin and fur of a raccoon, but it’s unknown if Usher is actually rocking a fake fur piece….

  Oh well they don´t have to wear it.
  
  pj
  
  They don’t have to wear it… its not a fucking color they don’t like. its animal skin. if it was made from fetus skin would. you say they don’t have to wear it? It was a living animal at one point killed just for its skin. not lik a deer u shoot to eat and make something out of the hide.

  I’m pretty sure that hat (hideous one btw) is from fake fur. Usher wouldn’t wear real fur…

  Really? And what might I ask have you done to improve the world in any way? My guess is nothing. You don’t have to agree with Peta on everything but if you think it’s ok to wear fur in 2014, then you’re a sick moron.
- Heather Hunter
  
  You missed the part where he told them it not real fur that it faux fur….Your very late with this post, Why do you always right negative stories on him but make Tameka out to be mother Theresa,the hat is fine..its a statement hat
  
  lol
  
  She is Tameka’s best friend that’s why other media outlets take anything she reports about Usher with a grain of salt, hell didn’t one of them call her "Tameka’s blogger best friend" and she got mad, because she felt they discredited as reliable..lmao.

  Other media outlets??? How you sound lol. Chile this is a BLOG.

  I respect peta and vegetarians and vegans and meat eaters just like jesus he mentions do worry about who follows laws and who and whomever dont eat what. Next whether herbivore or conivour is on you. Usher is fine with or without hat I have a.brother looks like him. The hat is most likely real but who knows. Now he looks like he may be native tribe people indian or indigneous american that met with pochantas and John Smith family. They use animal skin and animals for food and clothing like other cultures. I would wear fur if I could afford it. PETA is also doing there respected job of calling all fur lovers out.

  Right Dewone! We wore them in the 80s

  Where did you hear it was faux?

  Did my homework – is real fur.
- Maria Cruz
  
  PETA when you come up with a good cause let me know. Something like helping the youths stay out of trouble is a start. Until then I will be sending some furry hats to Ursher

  We asked Peta for help with the homeless kitty cats on OBX and they told us their policy was that they do not help domestic animals and that they should all be sent to the SPCA and euthanized. PETA would not part with ONE CENT to help the homeless kitty cats in the Outer Banks. We are feeding them by ourselves. Peta advertised dog houses for dogs but when asked for cat houses, they would not respond. We built our own and I make hardly any money to pay my bills but I feed the cats. We have proven that kitty cats should have sanctuaries with caretakers and they will live happily with outdoor houses as long as they are protected and they do not have to be euthanized. The population can be controlled humanely, instead of letting them breed out of control and then trapping them, sending them to the SPCA, and euthanizing them – however, this is not PETA’s policy. Of course, I am against wearing fur due to the cruel way in which the animals are murdered. This is why animals go extinct – so rich people can adorn themselves. Stick to jewels.

  LOL I get the general idea of PETA, but they really and truly get on my nerves. I wouldn’t wear real fur just because and I’m considering becoming vegan, but they are very pushy and militant. They really need to check themselves, because some of their ways are ridiculous. I stop being about a cause when they actively try to FORCE (even physically) people to adopt their ways. So, essentially they’re saying, "You’re not right, we are, and you have no will but our will." Gtfoh.

  I’m so sick of PETA. People have a right to wear what they choose. Are they gonna run down behind those who also purchase meats at the local grocer? Opinions are like….
- Beverly
  
  Usher is SO SEXY I don’t care WHAT he wears! I wish I could get my hands on him!!!! Usher is WAY more SEXY and BETTER LOOKING and has waaay more swag than that PIPSQUEAK Pharrell!!!UGGGH!!!

  F**k PETA.
- Candyce Wills
  
  lol people can wear wat they want ..its for sale!! foh
- Anita DeVoe
  
  PETA is a bully. I love animals too but I don´t go around insulting those who wear fur or other animal skin. This is a free country for Pete´s sake!
- Richard Stans
  
  PETA did not show it’s ugly head until people of color were able to afford mink, sable, fox, etc. I have seen members of PETA with leather shoes on. Where did the leather come from? My views are based on HUMAN RIGHTS. I love pets but if I had to choose I will take humans who can talk, get jobs, and contribute to society. PHUCK PETA!!!!!
  
  Me Not You
  
  Oh please. You weirdo blacks.

  Usher wear what you want, Peta find a seat!!
- Zaemarie
  
  aye why not use fur it looks good and feels good
  
  Me Not You
  
  I sincerely hope animals one day rise up and skin YOU alive. Then we’ll see if you feel the same way when your skin is ripped off your body.
- Kittypetit
  
  Man, has worn animal fur dating back to early civilizations. God provided animals to man for sustenance. Thse PETA groups are the biggest hypocrites because they are often first to mis treat people. STFU and sit down
  
  Christian Bale’s Wart
  
  Okay?! It’s hubris to think they’re above what was ordained for us. So full of themselves and so entitled. smh
  
  Me Not You
  
  Yeah, okay, I guess "God" told you all this? Oh wait, you must have gotten it from his Great American Novel, the Bible.
- Lara Triplett Carlton
  
  Screw PETA!
- TRU
  
  These PETA people are getting out of hand. They can not attack everyone who chooses to wear fur, eat meat etc…. I am so over them.
- Gregg La
  
  Peta and its racist butt can take 873 fur lined seats.
- STLChick
  
  I happen to like PETA and their cause as an animal lover myself. Now if it’s fake, they owe him an apology and should’ve asked before their statement. Shit looks real to me, but regardless.
  
  The jacket is more hideous looking than the hat. A color blind person could differentiate all those damn shades.
- Rayne
  
  Hate it! Thought he was vegan but obviously not – if it is not faux fur then he is a fake just like Beyonce. So sad
- Teresa
  
  I’m thankful to hear its faux fur. I know PETA sometimes takes things too far. But I recently found out how furs are made, and maybe some of these people dont know that these poor animals are skinned alive! check it out, you can actually see videos on youtube. Once you see it you’ll never look at fur the same!!!

  Teresa – Who told you it was fake fur? It looks like fox tail. It is not fake.

  IS real fur.
- Klod
  
  Disgusting. I would not hesitate to skin him alive and make a hat out of his skin…
- Kris Flin
  
  No nottttt
- Me Not You
  
  Anyone who wears the fur of a tortured murdered animal is a scumball. This Usher character is a hundred time worse than that because he also brags about how he only wears new clothes once and then gets rid of them. Yeah, okay, don’t bother helping anyone in the third world with that money, just throw it all away.
- Oscar Victor
  
  PETA is a hypocrite, so they have no saying against Usher. Oh and by the way Usher is great, and he can do whatever he likes, so screw your hateful comments.
