Burberry: Stop Passing Off Dead Animals As Clothes! November 14, 2008

I love Sarah from peta2 UK! Last summer, we interned together and were pretty much inseparable, so it's no surprise to me that she is full of great ideas—including some ways to educate people about Burberry selling fur, and all the horrible ways animals are abused for the fur industry. Take it, Sarah!

If you haven't already seen the new peta2 feature on Burberry, then I can only assume you've been living under a rock! With a host of awesome bands, all completely fed up with Burberry's abuse of furry animals, Super Furry Animals (great name eh?!), Jamie T, The Rakes, Los Campesinos, Friendly Fires and The Wombats, have all joined the campaign against Burberry by signing peta2's petition urging Burberry to ditch fur from their collection.

It's like Christmas has come early for us here at peta2 UK with all these amazing bands showing their support and compassion for our furry friends! These guys know that animals on fur farms are beaten, drowned, and are killed by poisoning, anal electrocution, and gassing. These cruel methods are ineffective, and animals often wake up while they're being skinned. Check out the full list of bands who've signed:

See? Isn't she lovely? But wait, What..? You haven't signed the petition already?! Do it now and tell your friends!!
