Just a week after Aretha Franklin ripped on Beyonce for introducing Tina Turner as ‘The Queen’, PETA is coming forward to try and get Aretha to stop wearing real furs.

PETA is using the recent controversy to try and convince the very plus-sized soul singer to retire her fur coats and go faux.

In a letter to Franklin, PETA spokesperson Dan Matthews writes, “Music lovers may think of you as a ‘queen,’ but to animal lovers, you are a court jester. Why not shed the old-fashioned look that adds pounds to your frame and detracts from your beautiful voice? Please consider donating your furs to the homeless as ‘queen of compassion,’ Mariah Carey, did. You’ll get a tax credit for the donation, and we at PETA will all sing your praises.”
