TwitterPETA offers to scan Sharon Stone's brain to find her heart!
Sharon Stone's remarks about how bad karma caused the deaths of millions of innocent Chinese men, women and children during the recent earthquakes shocked the Chinese government, which promptly banned her and her films from the country.
Her callous statements also horrifed Dior, which dumped her from its ad campaigns. Even the Dalai Lama has taken her off his speed dial.
But PETA says it's not surprised. Not one bit. In fact, the organization has sent the actress a letter offering to pay for a scan of the frontal region of her brain to see if her empathy deprivation is the result of a physical defect.
In other words, PETA wants to search her brain to see if she has a heart. Wonder if they can scan for a soul while they're in there?
The letter from Ingrid E. Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, reminds Stone that: "Mink, foxes, rabbits, and other fur-bearing animals are tortured and killed so that people like you can steal and wear these animals' fur. We have sent you videotapes showing that animals on fur farms send their lives confined to cramped, filthy wire cages with little to no shelter from the scording sun and freezing rain. Animals are killed by the cheapest and crudest methods, including poisoning, neck-breaking, gassing and genital eletrocution. ... Sometimes animals are still conscious when they are skinned."
"The type of thinking that would allow a perhaps otherwise intelligent woman to deny the cruel consequences of her actions can be established through a brain scan. We urge you to undergo this test and curb your urge to scoff at various forms of misery and violence."

This old porn star obviously has mental problems, I think she has mad cow disease too!
What an incredibly callous and vile thing for PETA to say, considering Stone suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2001 and fought her way back from that. These people are just unbelievable the way they treat their fellow man! The only reason they do this type of stuff is to grab headlines. Who in *God's name* is supporting these KOOKS?!?! Any decent society would have burned these freaks at the stake years ago!

My god, you people are repugnant! What in the world would lead you to say such horrific things? I wonder what we would find if we did a scan of your heart, brain and soul??? Being out there in L.A. so long has excised that portion of your personality that causes you to take pause before saying such detestable things? Why in the world would you support these PETA kooks? For once in your life take a long, hard look at your actions and show a little kindness to your fellow man.
I support these "PETA kooks". I have for a long time. Ingrid Newkirk is a remarkable woman, and she fights for every creature we share this planet with.
She has more than enough kindness for humanity.
Ingrid Newkirk obviously has nothing better to do than this nonsence, it would be nice if she could get a real job, like skining minks for example. Lets worry about people for a change, like in Irak or Africa.Sharon Stone is great!
Sharon Stone is right about the karma. And, kudos to her for having the nerve to say it. But, the animal fur....I have to agree. I remember an incident where someone from P.E.T.A. threw black ink on a white sable coat worn by Joan Rivers. That was a bite. There is a guy from here who did time for releasing minks from cages in Canada some time ago. It's not against the law to own a fur coat. I wouldn't own one. But, it is against the law to destroy someone else's property. The minks all died from exposure after they were released. Nice thought, anyway. I have a Chinese restaurant on tape boiling a live cat in oil. It was a special on A&E showing how we mistreat our animals. The Chinese in China eat cat. The cat was still alive after the cook took it out of the oil and skinned it. Nice. Leave Sharon Stone alone. Not one of us is perfect.
you dont really know what you are talking about. You think, Ingrid is paid for her tireless work?
Caring for our fellow creatures does not mean they are placed any higher than human life. It's never about, them or us.
I'd have a lot more respect for PETA if they weren't such shameless publicity ******. What's the point of calling out Sharon Stone like this? All it's going to do is stir up controversy and get PETA in the news. Mission accomplished, I guess.
Way to go PETA! Fur bites and Sharon Stone has a heart of stone if she continues to wear fur knowing what we know about the horrible abuses that happen to animals on fur farms and in the wild.
Actually, Liz, it publices the plight of animals. It makes people think. Nobody should wear fur without thinking about what happens to animals before they're turned into coats or collars.
