Ralph Lauren bans the use of Mohair

​worldanimalnews.com/breaking-ralph-lauren-marks-the-latest-major-global-brand-to-ban-use-of-mohair-in-their-products/

Considering Ralph Lauren is one of the largest global fashion brands out there, this is a monumental step in the right direction. Ralph Lauren has decided to ban the use of mohair in their products following an expose by PETA that showed the horrible methods in which mohair is obtained. In the video, the goats were violently shaved leaving them with gaping wounds that were stitched up poorly without any freezing or pain killers, and goats that were no longer needed were slaughtered heartlessly.

The story states that Ralph Lauren has recognized that consumers are turning their backs on products that contain animal products such as mohair, wool, or leather. Ralph Lauren joins a lengthy list of other global brands that have turned away from using animal products in the future. This is great news for animals that suffer immensely in the fashion industry.

The fact is, animals are continuously used as products for various industries and oftentimes, they suffer in these conditions. When it comes to fashion, I can't think of another industry that is less deserving of animals. When you consider the amount of synthetic alternatives, it's frustrating that there are still brands that use animals for their furs or pelts. It's completely unnecessary and total disregard for living creatures. As I said, there are so many alternatives available that the use of animals is abhorrent and completely outdated. Animals who are used for clothing are often kept living in squalor, living amongst feces and other filth, emotionally and mentally distraught, and in fear every minute until they are ultimately slaughtered. This is no way for any living creature to exist and it's upsetting that there are still companies and brands out there who just don't get it.

LISTEN!

There is nothing glamorous about fur. The only living creature that looks good in fur is the animal that owns it. Wool and mohair too are only beautiful on the animals themselves, there is nothing sexy or fashionable about wearing a disgusting skin or pelt of an animal. With a brand like Ralph Lauren turning their backs on Mohair and considering the impacts of fur and leather, it's my hope that other major brands will take note and consider a complete ban on animal products altogether. It's my hope that these global giants will recognize the horror these animals endure and join in banning animals in their products.

Congratulations Ralph Lauren and thank you for turning your back on the cruelly obtained mohair you were using in your clothing.

HAPPY VEG
