Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein are among a list of high profile fashion brands that have committed to banning exotic skins in their future lines. After many discussions with PETA regarding animal welfare and the progression / spread of covid, parent company PVH Corp has committed to going exotic skin free marking the end of a decades old tradition of using skins from snakes and alligators.

When it comes to animal skins, whether we're talking about the fur of minks or foxes or the skinned remains of snakes or alligators, these skins are obtained in some of the most cruel ways imaginable. Animals in the fur / skin industry are exploited to the fullest degree as humans profit heavily off of their suffering. Regardless of the species, these creatures suffer tremendously throughout their miserable lives until the time comes that they are bludgeoned, electrocuted, and skinned. All of this suffering for some stupid purse or shoes covered in the skins of a once living animal. It's despicable and wholly unnecessary.

I think what this demonstrates is that there is truly no animal on this planet that we don't see a value in. Every species on this planet is at our mercy as far as we're concerned because we are motivated by profit and fueled by our own desires. We can take the skins off of animals, take the horns of rhinos or the tusks of elephants, mass produce billions of animals in the worst conditions imaginable only to slaughter them at a fraction of their age, all of this because we are motivated only by profits. When we can overlook the suffering of living, breathing creatures because we desperately want a purse slathered in the skins of a tortured animal, we have lost the ability to lead with our hearts.

To make things clear, we need a ban on furs / skins across the board. There is no excuse or argument in defense of skinning animals for fashion when we have access to a plethora of synthetics available to us. Profiting off of the suffering of animals is grotesque and immoral and it's time that we just did away with that entire industry altogether. No more furs, no more skins, no more slaughter. Let's get this together and collectively ban furs / skins across the globe. End an industry that has tortured animals for decades. It's quite simple.

HAPPY VEG
