R&B singer and songwriter Kelis seems to always have a little controversy surrounding her. This time she is taking on PETA — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, after they attacked her.

What’s their beef (pun intended)? Check out the photo above and you will have your answer. The singer believes that PETA president Ingrid Newkirk is “nuts” after Kelis received a letter from PETA. Now she has decided to write an open-letter on her MySpace blog.

“There is no humane way to kill anything, let me start there. It’s unfortunate but it’s part of life. With that being said, I would eat pterodactyl if you found some and you told me it was meaty and delicious. And after doing a very minimal amount of research…I found that the founder Ingrid Newkirk is completely batty. I had a feeling, but she far exceeded my expectations. I mean certifiably insane.”

What wouldn’t Kelis wear? “If I started wearing endangered animals like polar bear or orangutan then talk to me. But the minks and chinchilla, quite honestly, are rodents and if they weren’t in the form of a coat, I would demand they be put to death anyway. They are not an issue to me.
