TAGGED:
Armani sells real rabbits' fur!
Will you give them a call real quickly to ask why they went back on a promise not to use real fur?
Enough with broken promises! On behalf of all animals who are on fur farms right now—with their paws tangled in wire cages, their bodies crippled on top of dead cage mates, their necks seconds away from being broken, or their bodies seconds away from being skinned alive—we're asking you to raise your voice for the breath they're about to lose.
Call Armani at 212-366-9720.
All you need to say is something polite like, "I heard that you sell real rabbit fur. Why is that? I refuse to support your company and will tell all my friends and family to boycott you until you go fur-free."
Let us know once you call and tell us what response you get. Again, the number is 212-366-9720.
Drop a line to StreetTeam@peta2.com, and we'll give you 500 points!
Thanks!
Stay loud!

Armani, prepare to be called! It's so creepy that in this age people wear and sell fur. its 2009 AD , not the stone age!
Posted by: sophia(e) at January 5, 2009 8:19 PMI loved this idea! I called them right after I read this blog. I liked that I had a say in what Armani was doing. I never felt like I had that big of a voice, but now I know that I just did something great that may change these rabbit's lives..
Posted by: Alexis at January 6, 2009 10:59 AMi think i'll make a vid of me calling and post it in youtube =]]. that'll be fun. ugh i hate anyone thats ignorant enough to wear fur. and i hate even more the people who make oney out of this cruel fashion, even tho they know how cruel this is.
I will call Armani. No animal deserves to die for humans AT ALL!
Another genius idea from peta2.
Posted by: erika at January 6, 2009 1:25 PMthis is a great idea. as soon a i got this email i called! its so horrible how a company could do that. im spreading the word about this to all my friends too.

Posted by: yazmin at January 6, 2009 9:10 PMI love this and made the call. Also I'll be adding this as an action to my Change.Org page.
Posted by: andrea at January 7, 2009 12:00 AMI just called Armani, told them I refuse to support the company from now on if they continue with the fur & they took my name/email. I feel good & it took 15 seconds!
Posted by: laura at January 7, 2009 7:51 AMI made the phone call and she asked for my number and told me someone would call me back...is that a response anyone else has gotten? So far, not call back :(
Posted by: Marci at January 7, 2009 11:44 AMOMG they took my number also and said someone would call back, and no one has called me back yet. im calling again tomorrow.
Posted by: Skye at January 7, 2009 11:18 PMawesome idea peta2! =D
im calling Armani today
and im giving his number to all my friends mwahahahaha!
THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT HE IS DOING TO ALL THOSE INNOCENT ANIMALS
I called yesterday and I asked about the fur situation, and the lady says, "Oh God!".. and transfers me to a voice message and I left my message about how it's wrong how he is killing poor innocent animals for clothing. Also after he promised PETA he would stop selling fur in his line. It's so hypocritical! I hate it!
By the way the lady sounded, tells me she received a lot of calls. We are getting our voices heard thanks PETA!
I wish all people and companies would go cruelty free!
Posted by: AnimalLover1829 at January 10, 2009 4:21 PMI called, and they hung up on me.
I was like, "Nobody's gonna keep buyin from you once you know what you do, so you better stop now, 'cause you're so wrong and--"
They hung up.
So I call again and this time I'm like, "Hey, I'd like to know how your company works? I mean, is it real fur?"
There was silence on the other side, so I went on, "'cause I heard it's real fur, and that's just cruel and sick. Stop murdering innocent animals."
And the woman goes all, "Please, stop calling!"
And they hung up on me again.
Posted by: marky at January 14, 2009 6:22 PMDear (!!) Armani people:
I don't like fur. So I'm telling you to stop selling it. Thanks to the Internet, the world knows of your abusing and torturing animals for their fur.
Remember that every good or bad you do to either people or animals will come back to you tomorrow, next year, in 2 years or more. Woudn't you prefer that the good comes back to you???
Posted by: Denise Parnell at January 14, 2009 6:49 PManimals don't wear human skin coats, so why do we wear animals? i'm going to get a human skin trenchcoat.
Posted by: mike at January 14, 2009 8:18 PMI definitley want to do that!
of course wouldn't wear armani anyway b/c it's for snobs...

Thanks in advance for the help.
Haha, I'm all for phoning Armani and telling him what I really think of him!!! I'm also doing a petition against him buying rabbit fur on the care2 website...so everyone get signing! lets all stop this together!!!

Posted by: Leona at January 15, 2009 5:00 AMUnless Armani stops using and selling fur, be sure, we will not buy any of his products!
Sad, he is a great designer! An, I mean, he does not need to use dead animals for his creations...
Posted by: Kirsten Schulitz at January 15, 2009 9:45 AMi just called and it only took about 20 seconds..i hope it will save poor bunnies lives :(
Posted by: Brittany at January 15, 2009 10:00 AMI called and she said "I am not authorized to say anything about animal fur." how rude!
Posted by: Carly at January 15, 2009 12:22 PMI called and they hung up on me.....
Posted by: Imogen Murray at January 15, 2009 12:56 PMi also live in mexico, i would call if i could, but could someone call for me? hahahaha you can call twice and say "oh sorry, its just that a girl wanted me to tell her opinion too." :D thanks!
Posted by: Abril at January 15, 2009 1:44 PMFUNNY I WANTED TO BUY A BRACELET FOR MY MOTHER, BUT NOW I WILL NOT. I AM GONNA CALL HIM TODAY AND MAKE A PLEAD FOR ANIMALS!!!!

Posted by: ANNETTE at January 15, 2009 1:46 PMi called armani , they refused to answer any of my questions!!! what away to run a company. they must feel guilty about something ! this makes me very angry......
Posted by: barb lohr at January 15, 2009 2:14 PMI called and a man answered and took my name and # and said that, like others, someone would call me back. Let's just say I"m not going to be waiting by the phone. But big props to everyone who called! I have been involved in enough campaigns to know THIS TACTIC WORKS!!
If a company like this is not compassionate enough to make this change purely from that standpoint, people calling every 10 seconds complaining about it WILL.
WOW !!
I just called and they hung up on me!!!
grrr... I'm so mad!!!
I called. They hung up once I said "I heard that Armani-." My guess is that they're getting a lot of calls if they're already able to recognize the opening statement :)
Posted by: Rachel at January 15, 2009 4:49 PMI called twice and they hung up the first time before I could say anything, the second time they hung up as soon as the word 'fur' was mentioned.
Maybe all these calls will make them reconsider their product!
i called and the woman basically said what i was going to say and said thank you then hung up
Posted by: Brittany at January 15, 2009 4:57 PMHey I need help!!! I live in Mexico, and I am trying to call Armani, but the number here doesn't exist!! I want to help animals, but I want to know if you have the LADA or something!! Please!
Posted by: Fernanda at January 16, 2009 11:59 AMI couldn't even get the full message out of my mouth when I was asked for my information in order to receive a call back. This was over a week ago- no call back.
Posted by: Jen at January 16, 2009 12:46 PMI AM PROTESTING YOU ,STILL YOU ARE KILLING ANIMALS !!!!!!!!!.
Posted by: NECLA ORMANCI at January 19, 2009 7:32 AMi called them and they hung up on me!
Posted by: sierra at January 19, 2009 4:26 PMI haven't called yet, but i will, if you can call in Canada. Has anyone from here tried?
Welllllll I kept it simple, didn't wanna get hung up on. I used a very nice voice though!
Woman: "Giorgio Armani"
Me: "Fur is horrible". *click*
I just called and told the woman that I was looking at their clothing line, and politely asked "what the usage of fur was for," and as I expected, they hung up on me! But I said what I had to say, and my phone call has added pressure to their company :).
Posted by: Melinda Penwarden at January 20, 2009 5:07 PMI called and told the lady killing rabits for fur is horrible then hung up i feel so much better now

This whole calling armani thing is so genius! I love that you lovely people come up with this! What a good way to use your smarts... helping animals! I love that you've listed a number and you want us to call because I live in a small town and I feel like I have no voice. You've given everyone a chance to speak up. Thank you for your effort towards the safety of animals. Peace
