she uses fur A LOT. So PETA won a dinner with her (at an auction), and she didn't know it was PETA who would dine with her. Anyways, they showed her the videos of animals skinned alive and electrocuted...

I don't necessarily agree with PETA's tactics, but the message is right. Nobody NEEDS to wear fur, it's only a luxury and can be easily replaced with diamonds, yachts, whatever! Ralph Lauren company will not use fur in any of their lines. Furry animals are killed in ways that will keep the fur clean - i.e. no blood - so the methods of killing cause the most suffering.
Believe it or not, i OWN a fur coat... I bought it before I knew. NEVER, EVER again! I hope Beyonce swears off fur, too!

Ummm... nope.
"...how can one be spiritually healthy AND be indifferent to inconcievable suffering inflicted upon completely innocent creatures..."
How can people be indifferent to
Well, I don't know who this Beyonce person is. Never heard of her. I say "Way to go!" to PETA in this instance, although sometimes they go too far. Every single person buying a fur coat, what have you, should be required to watch these videos first, IMO.
It's amazing how egotistical and arrogant our species is in its abuse of all living beings, including our own, and our ongoing destruction of the planet.
As a species, we are building a huge Karmic debt, IMO.
