Norfolk, Virginia. – Below you will find a statement from PETA President Ingrid Newkirk in response to UGG’s new power plant collection:
It was a big day for animals: Hermès chose the skin of mushrooms, and now UGG, whose shoes are made from animal bits and pieces, announced the launch of an all-vegan line – something that PETA and thousands of its members and supporters have been active in campaigning to help protect delicate sheep from castration, mutilation and brutal murder. This is a great first step is further proof that veganism is the future of fashion, and PETA is urging UGG to ditch their short hair and wool.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not in our hands” – opposes specisism, which is a worldview focused on human excellence. For more information please visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
