The nonprofit People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, better known by its acronym PETA, has been running campaigns for several decades to alert consumers and brands to the use of ingredients and other products of animal origin in certain sectors, including fashion and beauty. A fight that has, for example, gradually led some brands to stop using fur in their collections. As the year draws to an end, the organization has a strong message for the fashion group Urban Outfitters Inc.
With blood, teeth and scars as seams, the new collection in the Urban Outraged e-store should not leave anyone unmoved. Fortunately, it's not really selling clothes and accessories made of human skin, but is aimed at grabbing the attention of as many people as possible -- and in particular the fashion group in question -- to raise awareness about the animal cruelty caused by making certain products, as well as about speciesism, PETA explains in a press release.
"PETA's Urban Outraged challenges shoppers to see the individual behind every bit of animal skin on store racks and shelves," explains PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.
