Animals abused for fashion

Millions of animals are suffering around the world for fashion every year. Many are caged, mutilated, and face a brutal death for our clothing choices. 
But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Animal protection is a critical component of ethical fashion. Fashion owes a huge debt to animals but, unfortunately for our furry, feathered and finned friends, most brands don’t know much about animal welfare in their supply chains. But this is changing.

While there are significant animal welfare issues to be addressed across the global fashion trade, right now, we want to see action on four spotlight issues. These are mulesing in the Australian wool industry, fur farming and trapping wild animals for fur, exotic animal leather, and live-plucking down feathers from ducks and geese.
