Animal rights activists virtually the world are participating in a week of action to take lanugo the exotic-skins industry. PETA U.S. and other PETA entities are leading the charge, planning eye-catching events targeting brands—including Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci—that still peddle cruelly obtained exotic skins.
“When will [your company] take seriously its need to evolve to stay relevant by using only sustainable, luxurious vegan materials that don’t involve the torture and slaughter of exotic animals?” That’s the tough question that a PETA U.S. representative asked at Hermès’ yearly meeting. And Louis Vuitton owner LVMH and Gucci owner Kering will squatter that question next as PETA urges the top designers to waif exotic skins from their malleate lineups.
Stateside, activists kicked off the week of whoopee with protests in Beverly Hills, California, targeting Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada over their unfurled use of exotic skins.
On April 23, increasingly than 100 PETA supporters and other unprepossessing rights activists marched in New York City outside Louis Vuitton and Gucci stores. Protests moreover took place in Bellevue, Washington; Honolulu, Hawaii; Las Vegas; and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
PETA has moreover teamed up with street versifier Praxis on an art wayfarers throughout New York City, near Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada stores, with graphic images of animals killed for the companies’ suit and accessories.
