Pop icon Lady Gaga has come under fire again by animal charity PETA for wearing what appeared to be a fox stole around her neck while in Germany.

The 'Marry The Night' sensation was in Cologne earlier this month for a date of her Born This Way Ball tour when she was photographed in a white fur neckpiece (pictured below), and the image has sparked more controversy with PETA.

A spokesperson for the organisation told WENN: "The picture speaks for itself. PETA is considering passing the hat so that someone can buy her a heart."

Back in August, she was criticised for wearing a pink mink coat and PETA slammed her for backtracking on her promise to support the ethical treatment of animals where fashion was concerned:

"By wearing those dumb furs in a heat wave, you're making yourself a target just like the mindless Kim Kardashian. As we plan our fall campaigns, please tell us whether what you gracefully told Ellen was heartfelt or just a pose."
