Blog EntryANIMALS KILLED FOR FASHIONSep 11, '07 4:49 PM
for everyone

Won't you please help stop the slaughter of rabbits—now all the rage at Armani—and other animals who are abused and killed for fashion?

Fashion Week in New York City has just wrapped up, and although fur was knocked out of many shows, a fair number of big designers are still desperate and callous enough to include fur in their collections. By trying to keep fur in vogue, they are ensuring a cruel death—in traps and by painful electrocution—for so many beautiful, precious animals.

The fashion industry is responsible for the torture and death of millions of dogs, cats, minks, raccoons, foxes, and other animals each year. This business has gone on for far too long, and only caring people like you can stop it.


Every time PETA succeed in convincing a designer to stop using fur, it is because supporters like me have provided them with the resources to expose cruelty to animals and pursue our campaign. Your support enables them to do the following:

*Go undercover to shoot photos and videos that document the suffering of animals.

*Fly to designers' headquarters, sometimes overseas, to conduct talks with them and their buyers.

*Demonstrate in creative ways at major fashion shows.

*Make sure that the animals' side of the story appears in the media in order to deter potential fur buyers.

That's why leading designers like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein are now all completely fur-free. And retailers like J.Crew, J. Jill, and Forever 21 will not sell the ugly stuff.

This is a trend you can set.


PETA is working especially hard to convince Armani to make all his collections fur-free.


Although Armani recently stated, "I spoke with the people from PETA, and they showed me some materials that convinced me not to use fur," his upcoming collections are chock-full of fur. Please, let us help PETA by providing them with the resources they need to aggressively target his collection in the stores—and in the hearts and minds of consumers—until he realizes he must stop using fur in any form.

As I'm sure you understand, fashion designers set trends that are adopted by all retail clothing manufacturers. So if a major industry leader like Armani goes fur-free, clothing in all stores across the U.S. will be far less likely to feature fur from tortured animals.

As we've always said, there's absolutely no excuse for using, buying, selling, or wearing fur. Please help us continue our efforts to wipe out fur sales with your contribution to PETA today.

And look, I’m no vegan. But every time I see an animal slaughtered, abused, neglected, skinned and bloodied; it breaks my heart. That’s why I’m a volunteer of PETA.

Now, look at your pet, and imagine them looking like this.
