Known for her no tolerance stance with bullies, Gaga has called the actions of such groups "childish" and "abusive" after PETA's Senior Vice President, Dan Matthews, called the singer a "turncoat" and threatened her for wearing what he alleges is real fur. Earlier in the week, he released a statement saying: "...by wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you're making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian."

She said: "I am choosing not to comment on whether or not the furs I purchase are faux fur-pile or real because I would think it [hypocritical] not to acknowledge the python, ostrich, cow hide, leather, lamb, alligator, 'kermit' and not to mention meat, that I have already worn."
She defended her vision of beautiful animals in fashion continuing: "You see a carcass, I see a museum pièce de résistance. But I am truly sorry to fans who are upset by this, its a fair and applaudable feeling about the health and safety of animals."
Her final parting pot shot was to PETA, who notoriously flour-bombed reality TV star Kim Kardashian earlier in the year, saying: "And to campaigners, Save your flour to make bread for the children who are hungry. And Kim Kardashian is fabulous."
Mother Monster has spoken.
