PETA sure knows how to milk a subject.

I swore I would never let this blog turn into on of those "Celebrity" rags that follows what the stars are doing and so far I have been fairly true to that commitment.

Unless it was something absolutely preposterous about Anna Nicole Smith or anything else equally ridiculous we don't engage in the everyday bullshit of the Paris Hilton's and J-Lo's and Pamela Anderson and Nicole Ritchie, etc.

This piece is about P.E.T.A. doing a marketing job supreme for their cause. It is not so much about Britney Spears as it is about the mileage they can get from running on her coat-tails, or petti-coat or whateve!. (It sure wouldn't be on her underwear, cause she don't wear em!)

She's lost custody of her kids and now an animal rights group wants Britney Spears to give up her pets too...................... A spokesman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the group's president has written an open letter to Kevin Federline encouraging him to pursue custody of Spears' animals.

Here comes the clincher that will set off all the old ladies and animal lovers......."PETA fears that the dogs may be in danger," Michael McGraw said.

He said PETA is particularly concerned about the welfare of her Yorkshire terrier puppy London, which she takes to nightclubs and shopping malls.

McGraw also said Spears' dogs should be with her sons as they adjust to life with Federline. "The companionship of beloved animals can make a world of difference for the kids during this obviously difficult time."

This is such a load of crap. I would say that McGraw cares about Britney's pets about as much as I do................. but they do make good copy!!!!
