TAGGED:
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!
♥ P.S. If you haven't written to Delia's yet, please do so now too!
Why Is Delia's Supporting Ringling Bros? August 27, 2009
Posted by Marta at August 27, 2009 5:37 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 4 ) | TrackBackI used to be all about Delia's. Last summer, some peta2 staffers and I went to Richmond for the day, and we most definitely made sure to stop by the Delia's store, which is why I'm all the more disappointed that the clothing company is selling a Ringling Bros. tee that proclaims the animal-abusing circus to be "the greatest show on Earth."
PETA 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 even sent a link to our new undercover investigation, but Delia's continues to sell the Ringling tees. In case you haven't seen the investigation yet, check it out:
It just isn't right that Delia's is selling a tee that promotes such blatant cruelty to animals. I mean seriously—these T-shirts are basically allowing customers to be walking billboards for beating elephants.
Please click here to contact Delia's CEO to ask him to watch our investigation and to stop all sales of Delia's Ringling tee immediately. Do it for those who have no voice—especially Tonka, Luna, and Ringling's other elephants.
Let's make sure Delia's knows that no one is OK with Ringling beating animals!
