Help Sheep! Spread the Word About UGGs!

Posted on December 8, 2011 at 1:47 pm | Permalink | Comments (35)

Tons of people walk around in UGGs … but how many people do you think would never buy another pair of UGG boots again if they knew that sheep were castrated without painkillers or that they have their throats cut just for fashion?

Now is your chance to help stop sheep from being killed for boots. It's the holiday shopping season—the perfect time to tell your friends why they should scratch UGGs off their wish lists!

We've created a brand-new printable UGG leaflet—one in color and one in black and white—for you to print out and pass around to your friends and everyone at school. It's a perfect way to get the word out there!

Don't forget that you can get 1,000 points for passing out these leaflets—just e-mail us at StreetTeam@peta2.com to let us know how it went!

Oh, and if you haven't signed the pledge never to wear UGGs, now's your chance! All you need to do is click here.

Thanks for having a ♥ for sheep!

  5. i do not understand why you would buy UGGS in the first place, when there is so many similar boots out there that are cruelty free and much cheaper. i bought mine at h&m.

    Uggs are FUGGS! Leave sheeps alone! TO me fashion, clothing, etc. are not as important as LIFE. Animals are not our property to do as we want.

    when ever i see them in school, i want to puke. one, there trashy and two i mean really you pay a lot of money for something that died. just so you can have trashy looking shoes. Granted, yea i do have things with fur but its all fake. before i even signed up for this website, i never wanted anything like that, is all looks so trashy and the fur coats im like ewww whats the point in having something that has to die in the name a fashion. if i had to choose it would be all fake. everything! one its cheeper and two well its not hurting anyone.

    Stop the animal cruelty and do not buy this product and voice your "disgust" for this type of behaviour.

  17. No animal deserves to die, so horribly, just so the UGG company can make a ridiculous amount of money for something I would never wear. I don't wear or eat animals!!!!!!!

  19. It's so sad that I see so many of these boots walking around. I don't thik the people who buy them realize that sheep must die to make them. Actually, I think they're ugly.

  24. Not only do people wearing Uggs spread the message that they are ignorant about the products they buy, but they also display a very poor sense of taste. I'll be glad once Uggs are considered a thing of the past.

    In a protest before everybody was appalled about the fake Uggs and the killing of racoons for it. At that time I alread asked if anybody also was appalled about the real Uggs, because there is a lot of blood on too! Now it shows!

    It's also an American company who took the generic Australian/NZ term 'ugg boots' and made it a brand name then stopped Australian companies from using the term they'd been using for years to advertise their product.

    I have knock off uggs and they are faux suede with faux fur on the inside (I am definitely going to double check though because my friend was sold knock off uggs and told by 2 different sales people that they did NOT have real fur on them and then she read the materials and they did. -.-' needless to say she threw them out right away.

    The main issue here is that people are not aware of how the products that they buy are made. I for once have a friend who bought a pair recently, but when I told her about this she said she was going to return them and the next day she went to the store and got her money back.

  33. can someone please tell me the truth about uggs, because i have seen a poster on Facebook stating that for one pair of ugg boots, 8 sheep are used. I am vegan, and do not think ONE is ok, but if I tell people something, I would like to back it up with info. thanks!
