Animal Rights Activists Unite in Global Week of Action
Animal rights activists worldwide are banding together for a week of action to combat the exotic-skins industry, with PETA U.S. and other PETA entities at the forefront. The campaign aims to shine a spotlight on brands such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci, known for using cruelly obtained exotic skins in their products.
Activists Take to the Streets in Protest
Stateside, the week of action kicked off with passionate protests in Beverly Hills, California, targeting major fashion houses like Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada for their continued support of the exotic-skins trade. This demonstration set the tone for a series of protests around the globe, including marches in New York City, Bellevue, Honolulu, Las Vegas, and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Art Campaign Raises Awareness in New York City
PETA has teamed up with street artist Praxis for an impactful art campaign in New York City, strategically placing graphic images near Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada stores. These images vividly depict the harsh reality of animals killed for the companies’ fashion items, aiming to spur a change in consumer behavior and industry practices.
How You Can Make a Difference
PETA’s exposés have revealed the brutal treatment of animals in the exotic-skins industry, shedding light on the inhumane practices prevalent in reptile farms across continents. The campaign invites individuals to take action both offline and online, encouraging people to participate in demonstrations or engage in virtual activism from anywhere in the world.
By joining this global movement, you can contribute to a future where sustainable, cruelty-free materials replace the need for exotic skins. The power to make a difference lies in each individual’s hands. Will you stand up for the voiceless victims of the exotic-skins industry?
