Beyonce is under fire from PETA over a new line of shoes that feature exotic animal skins.

The sneaker wedge design, from Perfectly Made Kicks (PMK), is nicknamed the “King Bey” and features skins including stingray, ostrich, crocodile, and anaconda.

Animal rights advocates are not pleased.

In a statement to Gossip Cop, a spokesperson for PETA says of Beyonce’s new kicks:

“These custom-made kicks come with a high price—and it’s paid by the various animals who were beaten and skinned alive or cruelly farmed and killed. Although most people aren’t as familiar with the types of animals (snakes, stingrays, crocodiles, and ostriches) killed for this single pair of sneakers as they are with the cats and dogs we share our homes with, these animals are highly sensitive living beings who try hard to avoid capture and suffer enormously when trapped, netted, speared, and skinned alive.”

“We hope that Beyoncé will choose to wear more clothes from her own clothing line—which features faux fur—and that one day, she’ll go completely cruelty-free. She can always choose the cruelty-free and “green” fashion favored by compassionate, chic celebrities such as Natalie Portman and Anne Hathaway and designers such as award-winning fashion queen Stella McCartney.”

    God provided animal skins for Adam and Eve Gen 3:21

    Nothing but the best for Queen Bey …..

  • Martina

    She should be skinned then….

  • Martina

    Not for f!cking unimportant luxury for milions of ” better people” thanks to whom animals all over the world are hunted, skinned alive so she could have a better day.
    And believe me, when bible was written, GOD obviously had no idea that people turn out to be worse than the animals, and what was supposed to be given to them for pure survival, they would keep slathered for their greediness.
    We are humans, we are on the top of the food chain, and yes, we were given all this, but to handle and treat it with respect, dignity and not to kill unless is necessary.
    And if you believe that we have that right to own and kill anythig that breaths you should get your values and morals checked, and when you are on it, go check your head too.

    And they’re also fugly shoes. Why would you kill animals for “fashion” when you can get faux versions cheaper and without killing animals. I don’t get it. It’s disgusting.

  • Fran

    You go check your head. Ivan is right. People even eat animals, right? There is nothing you people can do about it. As long as she/they are abiding by the law, there is nothing you can do. You people can’t say anything because you abuse humans.

  • DL

    Beautifully stated Martina. Its nice to see someone else in the world has sense and heart. People are so heartless when it comes to animals its shocking. I wonder if animals could speak if we would still commit such horrors unto them. Just because we have power over them does not mean we cant rise above such barbaric behavior and become more civilized.

  • DL

    Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both;
    as one dies, so dies the other. All have the same spirit; man has no
    advantage over the animals. All go to the same place; all come from dust
    and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and
    if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?

    — Ecclesiastes 3:19-21
