In a new statement PETA released to E!, the animal rights organization refers to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as "Hairy-Kate" and "Trashley" Trollsen (or "the Trollsen" twins) for designing a $16,900 fur-covered backpack for their label, The Row. Per the statement:If it looks like a troll and acts like a troll, it's probably a Trollsen Twin -- or someone wearing one of their new $16,000 totes, which are made from the fur and skins of innocent animals ... What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value. Sadly, it's the foxes, calves, and alligators -- who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain -- who pay the dearest price.[TheCut]
