One Minute Mission: Call Delia's and Ask Them to Stop Promoting Ringling Bros! September 1, 2009

Posted by Marta | Permalink | Comments ( 6 ) | TrackBack

As we told you last week, Delia's is currently selling a shirt that promotes Ringling Bros. We've contacted Delia's CEO to let him know that Ringling beats animals, separates mother elephants from their babies, and chains elephants for up to 100 hours at a time—and hundreds of you have written to Delia's, voicing your concerns and asking the clothing company to stop selling a T-shirt that promotes such blatant cruelty to animals. One amazing activist was even so outraged that Delia's was promoting Ringling Bros. that she gathered all the clothes that she's purchased from Delia's and took a picture to show the company that she is indeed a customer and wants them to stop selling the tee immediately:


So why isn't Delia's listening to its customers and showing compassion for elephants? Your guess is as good as mine, but I do know that we need Delia's to continue hearing from all of you, so please take a minute to call Delia's customer service line at 888-533-5427 and press six to talk to a representative. Tell the company that you won't shop at Delia's until it stops promoting cruelty to animals by supporting Ringling Bros. And please remember to be polite!

Once you call, drop us an e-mail at StreetTeam@peta2.com, letting us know how it all went, and we'll give you 1,000 Street Team points.

Remember, Ringling's elephants need your voice!



Marta


P.S. If you haven't written to Delia's yet, please do so now too!

It's just a t-shirt people. Delia's is awesome to their customers and employees. Don't take it out on them. It'll help the elephants more if you take on Ringling Bros themselves.

I decided to follow the other girl's lead and take a photo of all my clothes to prove I was a customer as well, and send an email to the company. I am utterly outraged. I love Delia's x[
Screw the circus.
