Lady Gaga addressed her little monsters via a lengthy statement regarding her decision to continue to wear fur - in which she apologized for any hurt she may have caused them.

 "To the fans. i want you to know that I care deeply about your feelings and views, and I will always support your philosophies about life. We've been having over-arching conversations about society, equality, and politics for the past five years, and we should continue," The mother monster wrote on her website. "I do not however support violent, abusive, and childish campaigns for ANY CAUSE.

Particularly one that I respect. 'Animal Rights.' I am choosing not to comment on whether or not the furs I purchase are faux fur-pile or real because I would think it [hypocritical] not to acknowledge the python, ostrich, cow hide, leather, lamb, alligator, 'kermit' and not to mention meat, that I have already worn. This should already put me in a category as one who appreciates and adores the beauty of animals in fashion, but am not a strict vegan."

In an attempt to be even thorough, Gaga began to explain about the different types of fur she prefers - also adding, while her choice to continue to wear the material may be unethical to some, she sees it as art and deserves some respect for her views.

 "I have truly always stayed away from skinned fur, especially i have never been able to afford a nice one, but this does not mean my morals are rigid and that I won't bend at the sight of an absolute art piece of a coat. I have no chains about this. You see a carcass, I see a museum pièce de résistance," she continued. "But I am truly sorry to fans who are upset by this, its a fair and applaudable feeling about the health and safety of animals. I respect your views, please respect mine."

Before concluding her stately address, Gaga jumped on the defense of her fellow fur-wearing diva - Kim Kardashian.

"And to campaigners, Save your flour to make bread for the children who are hungry. And Kim Kardashian is fabulous."
