Latino singer Jennifer Lopez has been receiving death threats over her constant purchases of animal skins and furs. One animal rights activist threatened to "kill her in public, just like the slaughtered animals whose fur she wears".
JLo is said to be "unphased" by the threats although has increased security due to her husbands concerns. Fur has been an issue within the fashion and will probably continue to be for a long, long time.
A spokesman for activists PETA (who are not linked with the threats) say: 'All violence is wrong. But JLo needs to stop the real violence she promotes and subsidizes rather than give herself extra protection.'
Many designers shameless use animal products and fur in their collection, perhaps most notably Julien Macdonald who caused outrage earlier this year with his London Fashion week show.
