Jennifer Lawrence must have a thing for squirrels ... and no, we're not talking about "The Hunger Games." The actress recently admitted to Rolling Stone that she skinned a live squirrel as part of her Oscar-nominated role in "Winter's Bone." Jennifer Lawrence said, "I should say it wasn't real, for PETA. But screw PETA." Whoa. Them be some fighting words.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has now responded to her remarks, with President Ingrid Newkirk telling Gothamist: "She's young and the plight of animals somehow hasn't yet touched her heart. As Henry David Thoreau said, 'The squirrel you kill in jest, dies in earnest.'

"When people kill animals, it is the animals who are 'screwed', not PETA, and one day I hope she will try to make up for any pain she might cause any animal who did nothing but try to eke out a humble existence in nature." So ... whose side are you on? PETA's? Or do you think J-Law was just getting into character when she skinned a squirrel?

I think you need to go back and do a re-write, because as written, it would seem that she was skinning it while it was still alive. Poor word usage. Obviously, it had been a live squirrel, but she skinned it after it was dead-----no big deal.
And HELL YEAH!!! I'd flip off PETA too. I like this girl already.

He was just saying it was bad and something serial killers tend to do before moving to humans.

I was being silly and trying to say it was much more serious than just being inhumane, like the guy below says, a lot have serial killers have tortured small animals as kids, and later grew up to do the same things to people.

I find the word 'inhumane' rather ironic as humans are perhaps the least humane species.

I agree, though I can't find any article that confirms the squirrel was alive. I think they merely meant it was a real squirrel, and they used the word "live" instead of "real". Most articles I read don't distinguish, which I consider another example of how lame most journalists are these days.

Come on, think about it! Do you really think anyone could skin a live squirrel? I've seen squirrels whip dogs and cats. They're vicious little buggers.

Squirrel gravy.... Daddy used to make it when we went hunting. I think people forget that back in the day, the only way to get your protein was to shoot it. They never did it for sport. We ate everything we shot. Venison.....ooooh.

I voted the way I did simply because I don't like PETA. They have a right to their opinions, but trying to force it upon others is wrong.

I guess its badass. The thing more badass about it is that she dissed PETA. I like the idea of PETA and stuff, but sometimes the are dramatic...
