He always talks about how it's so important to him that his makeup is vegan.. so he cares about beetles but wants to slaughter animals..."Does no one understand what a working ranch is? Yaks are bred, butchered for meat, and used for their fiber! JS is not just a name, it's a business, he's not just gonna have an open feild with a bunch of Yak ornaments 🤦‍♀️— Tracey (@Traceybug88) August 31, 2021Butchering services?!? Whooo boy. The PETA is gonna come after him hard.— Jazz Age Savage (@Beanhead95) August 31, 2021My 12 year old, upon hearing the news, said “the yaks are his victims”.— brak says hi (@DonDimble) August 31, 2021Butchering and processing has a bit more federal oversight compared to make up. Plus, I don’t remember but what was his stance on vegan and cruelty free? This could be very hypocritical for him.— ❦𝙽𝚊𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝❦ (@NotYourNaught) August 31, 2021I mean... he's been kept to himself. That's a plus. The only time i hear about him is when y'all tweet about his moves 😅 pic.twitter.com/OdDI1ZVPk2— ☠ (@Gina412) August 31, 2021I will definitely stop purchase of his products. Let's have a voice for all animals! This is self indulgence.— M. Chavez (@MarthaC58387306) August 31, 2021Butchering Yaks? 🤢🤮— Brian David (@briandavid0523) August 31, 2021Sooo... he's basically Cruella. I didnt see this coming, but not suprised at all pic.twitter.com/C6VLpCD21b— dr. Bitchcraft (@ravnfeeder) August 31, 2021I’ve been talking about this for two months - the “butchery” part. Ever since he announced he was raising Yaks and I saw that their meat is a premium item— CodeDebYT 🗣 (@CodeDebYT) August 31, 2021Jeffree Star responds to yak butchering claimsAs the tweets began spreading like wildfire, the 35-year-old took to his Instagram stories to end the rumors:"I recently trademarked Star Yak Ranch in every single category just because you always want to protect yourself in business so lets say I trademarked it for yarn, cheese, breeding, butchering etc, it doesn't mean that I'm doing any of those things it just means that I don't want anyone to take those trademarks in those categories. So I'm just protecting myself."

Nothing is happening to them besides brushing them, loving them and feeding them."He continued:"Yaks are majestic creatures, there have been so many questions, are they for pets, am I killing them. They've really helped ground me, having a ranch has been so fulfilling."
