Read the whole article before getting worked up about her purchasing choices. She didn't ask to buy the bag; she asked to look at it. And at the bottom of the article was this:
Quote:
Even if Oprah Winfrey had been allowed to look at the handbag, she may have thought twice before buying it.
The £24,460 bag was reportedly a crocodile-skin version of one of Jennifer Aniston’s favourite designs.
But as Miss Winfrey is a strident opponent of animal fur clothing and was named 2008 Person of The Year by animal rights group PETA, she may have felt crocodile skin was a step too far.
The TV host has occasionally worn leather belts and scarves, but crocodile skin is seen by some campaigners as being particularly cruel, given the poor treatment exotic species are often subjected to by farmers.
A spokesman for Tom Ford could not be contacted to confirm if the handbag was made of real or imitation crocodile skin.

I'm no fan of Oprah Winfrey because of her giving a platform to Jenny McCarthy and her child-killing anti-vaccination b*llsh*t, likewise her touting of Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz, both of whom are also full of crap, but in this case, I think it's a reach to accuse her of animal cruelty since all she wanted was for a salesperson to get a purse out of a display case so she could take a closer look.
