PETA has denied that it's planning to attack Victoria Beckham, after rumours that it was angered by the star's new animal skin handbags.
The Daily Mirror reports this morning that the animal rights group planned to douse Beckham in "a bucket of animal blood - cow or lizard - at her next UK public appearance". However, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), told us that - while these rumours are unfounded - it had sent the singer-turned-designer a video to persuade her against using animal skins.
"We don't believe that Victoria has chosen to ignore the plight of these animals, we just worry that the information didn't make its way to her," a spokesperson from PETA tells us. "No one with an ounce of compassion could watch PETA's footage and still promote exotic skins as accessories. With all of the luxurious, cruelty-free alternatives at her disposal, there is simply no need or excuse for Victoria to include any skins in her collection."
