Alright, so the Oscars are just a few days away and unfortunately for animals, that means Armani's people get to push their pelts out to celebs to wear out on the red carpet. Here's the deal: all of the bunnies need your help to put the pressure on Armani to stop the butchering. Please call Armani's office at 212-366-9720 now and ask them to stop selling fur and if you haven't already, write to him here.
Working for PETA, I've seen a lot of horrible things happen to animals, and it takes a lot to actually turn my stomach, but the video from an investigation into a Chinese rabbit-fur farm—China being a country Armani has purchased fur from in the past—actually made me want to throw up.
In the video footage workers pull rabbits out of cages by their ears and stun the screaming animals with hand held electric devices, often multiple times. Rabbits with cut throats can be seen twitching and shaking, with their eyes wide open, before they die.
Their fur is literally ripped off of their bodies to end up on some one else's back. I don't think any of us here in peta2 could get their screams out of our heads for weeks after watching. Please tell Armani to stop selling fur.
Stay loud!

Posted by: megan at February 13, 2009 6:01 PMNo one should enable a designer's disgusting use of animals as accessories. If you purchase anything from their lines you believe in or have no problem with what they do. If you are a vegetarian and believe in peta then you should be animal friendly in ALL ways.
Posted by: Francesca at February 14, 2009 1:14 AMi hope with what peta has been doing...Armani uses more fur! bother others who uses, promotes fur more if you really care about animals. you only care about publicity. target ALL designers who uses fur and protest to all of them
