PETA’s Victories: Animal Used for Clothing How Animals Used for Clothing Are Killed From mohair hats to shearling jackets to leather shoes, shoppers are ditching cruel and environmentally toxic items in favor of compassionate and sustainable vegan items. This is an exciting time-more so than ever before, people are against wearing animals. PETA has also led radical actions against top-tier brands, persuading them to stop using animal-derived materials. We do hands-on work with companies behind the scenes to persuade the largest names in fashion to ditch clothing made from animals. Our advertisements and demonstrations against these bloody industries are famous for shocking the public, turning heads, and initiating action. Our investigations of these industries have repeatedly exposed widespread and relentless abuse of animals. Our dedicated activists and supporters have exposed systemic cruelty in the skins (leather), wool, down, cashmere, mohair, and fur trades. The practice of wearing animal-derived materials is on its way to becoming a thing of the past, thanks to PETA. No matter the type of material or where it comes from, if the process involves an animal, it involves horrific cruelty. Goats are similarly abused for cashmere and mohair.
#PEOPLE FUCKED BY REAL ANIMAL S SKIN#
Sheep are often beaten and mutilated by workers stealing their wool and their skin for shearling.
Skin is torn from them to make leather, birds are held down while handfuls of feathers are ripped out of their sensitive skin, and small animals are caged for life before being killed for their fur.
Every year, billions of animals suffer and die for clothing and accessories.
