It seems to be saying it's exploitation, rather than abuse, but I suppose if you're santimonious enough you lay yourself open to all sorts of attack

What a load of poop!

Holy crap!

 

[dixie]

The horse looks very bemused !

 

[Tiddlypom]

The horse's expression . Says it all.

You can almost hear the *sigh*

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

Crazy world it's just a photo shoot ffs

 

[Jenko109]

I think she looks smoking.

However I find the choice of horse a bit odd. Nothing remarkable about that particular horse from that photo.

 

[meleeka]

I feel more sorry for Kendall’s nether regions

I don’t think it’s a bad life for the horse, the only thing it’s being asked to do for it’s keep is stand still and have it’s photo taken.

This seems to have been rumbling on for a while

PETA 'tips our hats' to 'animal-friendly pioneer' Stella McCartney

PETA Founder Ingrid Newkirk said that Linda McCartney adored horses and had inspired in her children, who would never tolerate any sort of mistreatment towards them - or other animals.

www.dailymail.co.uk

eta PETA is showing an uncharacteristically relaxed attitude here - after all they tried to get the village of Wool to change its name when no animals were involved at all

I’m sure horses like cake too, looks happy enough!

 

[Peglo]

The exploitation bit…. Is it because she isn’t fully clothed, because she’s on the horse, using the horse to sell a product or the horse hasn’t consented to getting its picture taken? Ludicrous

What a load of poop!

Holy crap!

My thoughts exactly.

Typical Daily Fail nonsense.

It starts with a factual error (Kendall Jenner described as being naked, when she is clearly wearing at least one boot, probably a whole pair) and then just descends into a skip fire of hearsay, speculation and malformed opinion.

There are far too many snowflaky people in this world! They need to wisen up

BB would wonder where the chuff I would be going with my melons out wouldnt bother with me laying like that hahha

 

[little_critter]

My horse would have frisked that designer handbag for treats in a millisecond.

 

[scats]

I love the way horses just put up with our nonsense

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Of course it's horde abuse! Kendal Jenner is basically a Kardashian and who wants to be associated with them!?! Poor horse!

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I was going to say the same. Surely its cruel to force any living being to have to spend time with a Kardashian wannabe...and being asked to smile for a photo while enduring the experience.

A cat wouldn't have put up with it.

 

[Birker2020]

FFS. People want to get a grip! The press trying to find a story when its quiet on the ground

 

[m.l.c coloured]

I hope the horse isn't casting his coat

 

[silv]

Click Bait, have just wasted 1 minute of my life reading that, what a load of Cr*p

No, it's just an excuse to use the name Stella McCartney in a newspaper.

She looks a lot like her dad. I've not seen a picture of her for years, (not that I can remember, anyway) so it was kind of interesting nevertheless.

Because there really is F.A. happening in the real world at the moment...

If it’s the daily fail it’ll all be lies.

Looks aren't everything .
I hope she's got knickers on.

Ive always thought that any company that uses animals or a specific species of animal for marketing purposes should, by law, have to contribute a certain amount funds to either a welfare or conservation group that exists to protect the animal/s that they're using to further their own cause. Imagine the amount of good Shell/Texaco (?) could have done with their use of Tigers... And there's Meerkats, more horses (Lloyds bank)...there's probably loads more I can't think of right now (it's still early).
But from what I know of Stella McCartney, I would like to think she probably does her bit for conservation and welfare anyway.
But the Daily Fail are up to their usual low standards of journalism this morning.....
