Lady Gaga's meat dress

There was a huge controversy of Lady Gaga wearing a meat dress, while accepting her award for video of the year at Mtv's Video Music Award. Some people found it very offensive, especially PETA. Their reason was, meat is the decomposing flesh of a tormented animal who didn't want to die. Lady Gaga confirmed herself it was real meat, but it wasn't any disrespect towards anyone who are vegan or vegetarians.
