Talk-show host and entrepreneur Oprah Winfrey has revealed on her website that she despises canines, calling them "filthy, four-legged, tail-wagging bastards".
A national treasure, Oprah is famous for her benevolence and charitable giving, and often provides guests on her show with extravagant gifts and prizes. She has donated millions to various charitable organisations so her hatred of dogs might come as a surprise to some people.
Taking to her website to vent her vehement dislike of dogs, Oprah wrote: "Here it is; I hate dogs. Always have done, always will. I try and boot as many dogs in a day as I possibly can. I literally go out of my way to smack a dog. There's this one particular mangy bugger near my house, always sniffing around, peeing on my doorstep, I go at it most mornings."
Though quite candid about her violence towards dogs, Oprah was keen to reassure her fans she never goes as far as actually killing any animal, saying "corporal punishment is okay, capital punishment goes against my beliefs, though."
While she is clearly not a fan of dogs, Oprah could not help but wax lyrical about rabbits.
"I love my rabbit; I keep it with me at all times. In my bedroom, in my dressing room- I sometimes carry it in my bag. I'd say my rabbit is probably my best friend."
Her adoration of the rabbit species seemed to be strangely contradicted hen she finished her post saying, "I hate pretty much any animal".
PETA still maintains that Oprah is a an honorary member of the organisation and that some animals "do deserve a good kicking".
