Dear Lily,
Recently, PETA investigated 9 angora fur farms and released bone-chilling footage of workers violently ripping rabbit fur from the animals bodies as they scream in pain. In response, several major clothing companies have stopped selling angora -- but retail giant Ralph Lauren is still marketing angora.
I started a petition asking Ralph Lauren to stop selling angora until they can prove the rabbits used in their clothing aren't being tortured. Please add your name.
When the rabbits endure this horrific, violent yanking of their fur, they scream in pain and to go into extreme shock. Then they are thrown back inside filthy, tiny wire cages with no bedding to lie alone, motionless in shock.
This is repeated every 3 months, for 2 to 5 years, until the rabbits are hung upside down to have their throats slit, and are skinned.
More than 90% of the world gets its angora fur from rabbits farmed in China, where there are no animal welfare standards, and no penalties for animal abuse on rabbit farms. In January, the Wall Street Journal reported that nearly all of Ralph Lauren's clothing is manufactured in China.
When European companies including H&M heard about this harrowing investigative report, they stopped selling their angora products and announced that they would be investigating their supply chain. Now that H&M has done the right thing, I'm confident that if enough of us speak up, Ralph Lauren will follow their lead.
Click here to sign my petition and tell Ralph Lauren to stop selling angora and investigate their supply chain to make sure no rabbits are harmed while making their clothing.
Thanks for your help,Nyack ClancyCare2 Member
