Billions of animals are used by the fashion industry every year. Some are caught from the wild, others are kept in factory farms, suffering fear and pain throughout their lives before being cruelly slaughtered when it’s no longer profitable to keep them alive, or when they are big enough for their skin or fur to be used. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Together we can choose to 'Wear it Kind' and to create a better future for animals.
Over 100 million animals are killed for their fur annually. Most animals are raised on fur farms, trapped in tiny wire cages and forced to endure a shocking life of cruelty, while millions of wild animals are also caught and killed for their fur.
Animal skins are prevalent throughout fashion. The suffering these animals face is often appalling and there is zero traceability as to their standard of care. For exotic leather, this trade is blurred with wildlife trafficking.
The production of down feathers for clothing and bedding is a huge industry. Every year, billions of ducks and millions of geese endure brutal treatment to supply down feathers.
It’s been a challenging year for all. But as 2020 comes to a close, let’s celebrate the good moments and progress made towards an animal-friendly fashion future!
