PETA Flowers Brit With Praise

Say What? PETA reveals to RadarOnline.com that they will send a "Thank You" note and flowers to the ever-resurrecting princess of pop for choosing to lead an animal-less Circus Tour--The Pussycat Dolls excluded!
In November PETA sent the poptart a letter requesting she leave live animals out of all Circus Tour promotional plans.
PETA President Ingrid Newkirk just released this exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com:
"PETA praises Britney for embracing modern animal-free circuses like Cirque du Soleil which spotlight human creativity and talents instead of forcing chained and beaten exotic animals to perform confusing and uncomfortable tricks as they do in one of those outdated Ringling Bros. shows. Now Britney won't risk winding up in court on cruelty charges, while Ringling is in court this week over serious allegations of repeated mistreatment of elephants."
People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals is notorious for witty jibes at pelt donning celebs- like their anti-Olsen twins campaign, 'Trollsen Twins', and of course, protesting fur fiend J.Lo!
In November, a PETA activist threw a flour bomb in fur-clad Lindsay Lohan's face. Flowers sure beat flour any day of the week-- eh Brit?
Enjoy the bouquet!
