2006 Academy Award for Best Actress for the film "When love burns the soul", Reese Witherspoon could also grab a nomination from among the less eco-friendly Hollywood stars, especially now that paparazzi around the world have immortalized her in California, with her $ 4 python skin bag.

It is not the first time that Witherspoon has attracted the dislike of animal rights groups, including herself Peta who a few years ago had crowned her as one of the hottest famous vegetarians only to turn away when in a cooking show he proclaimed "Everything is better with bacon". Today Witherspoon retraces her steps again and she claims to have hung her "python bag on a nail" forever. But let's take a step back

The offending stock exchange - of the French fashion house Chloé - was definitely not bought in California, where the sale of products made with exotic leathers is absolutely illegal, a sign that the American actress was aware of her action at the time of purchase, not caring about the harmfulness of her gesture.

"No matter how much Reese paid for that bag, the animals paid a much higher price," a PETA spokesperson said. "Each year, millions of snakes are impaled on hooks or nailed to trees with their heads and skinned alive. "

As he had pointed out PETA through a video told by Joaquin Phoenix, Witherspoon's colleague in the film that earned her the Oscar, to create a frivolous object like the bag in question, animals such as snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles are tortured, thus fueling the illegal market of exotic leathers.

Specifically, as you can see in the video, most of these animals are boiled or skinned while still alive. In fact, snakes, alligators and monitor lizards, having a slow metabolism, remain conscious after the decapitation which is usually carried out before the removal of the skin.

Reese Witherspoon isn't the first star to show off the end product of such nastiness; her other colleagues, from Kylie Minogue to Victoria Beckam, have shown the whole world not only their lack of sensitivity in this regard, but also their terribly little interest in the stylists who propose a sustainable and cruelty-free fashion.

These days Reese informed PETA that she will never carry the Chloeé python bag on her arm again. "We've known for a long time that Reese is a nice person, so we're happy and it's no surprise that she has abandoned her python bag forever," the animal rights organization said. Also because the actress decided to “console herself” with a Louis Vittone black bag designed by director Sofia Coppola.
