Georgina Bloomberg says love for animals makes her a better mom

Georgina Bloomberg was honored by the Humane Society of New York at “The New York Dog” book party and took exception to a fur-clad guest.

She was heard saying, “I don’t understand why someone would wear fur to a Humane Society event? You would think they would know better.”

She talked about how her love of animals helped her be a better mother to her new son, Jasper, saying, “I’ve always put my horses, dogs and pig before my own needs, so I was well prepared to put my son first. I’m used to waking up in the middle of the night … no matter how tired I am, jumping up to take care of my animals. Now, I do the same for my son.”

Others at Bamboo 52 included Cornelia Guest and Herb Karlitz.
