In the New York City restaurant Nobu 57 Thursday night, singer/actress Beyonce Knowles and her Mother and Sister were the victims of a surprise ambush by two members of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The members of People for the Ethical Treatment Animals secretly won an eBay auction offering dinner with the star. Knowles told the press she no idea they were PETA members.
The opportunity to eat with the singer was offered by the VH1 music channel, as part of an auction which would benefit its Save the Music Foundation.

The PETA pair, who won the chance to dine with Beyonce at a VH1 Save the Music auction, bombarded the pop diva with questions about her decisions to wear fur and include fur in her clothing line, House of Dereon. The PETA agents also used a hidden camera to secretly videotape Knowles and her reaction to their nasty questions. They were finally asked to leave 20 minutes later.
A video of the encounter, posted on tmz.com, shows a stunned Knowles, unresponsive to the allegations and appealing to others in her group to react. The PETA guests, whose tone was conversational but persistent, are eventually kicked out of the restaurant.

PETA spokesman Michael McGraw says, “PETA has contacted Beyonce numerous times over the years, begging her to stop promoting the violence of the fur industry.” McGraw hopes that Beyonce’s ambush had an impact on her business practices. “She must be truly heartless to be unmoved by the images of foxes being anally electrocuted and minks having their necks snapped.” McGraw is reported saying by the Daily Dish.com.
