JENNIFER COOLIDGE TAYLOR, TRAVIS GET PASS FOR ZOO DATE … But I Get Why PETA’s Upset

Jennifer says the lovebirds should get a pass for a few reasons … she doesn’t think they put a lot of thought into going to the zoo and were just looking for something romantic to do together.

A big PETA supporter herself, Jennifer says Taylor and Travis seem like fellow animal lovers … and isn’t going to condemn them here. She’s kinda walking a fine line here — huge fan, but also … big animal lover.

Jennifer’s stopping short of calling out Taylor and Travis too hard … but says she ultimately agrees with whatever PETA says on the matter. It’s pretty funny to see her wrestle with this dilemma on camera … you can tell she loves them, and doesn’t wanna slam ’em.
