Norfolk, Va. –

Below please find our statement from PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange on the butterfly stunt during the finale of last night’s RuPaul’s Drag Race:

When performers use live animals as props, nobody wins. Asia O’Hara has apologized for this misguided stunt, and PETA hopes the sad spectacle will sway the show to adopt a policy that bans all live animals and stops lip syncs from being literally killer.

— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
