PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS (PETA)
Are the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 6.5 million members and supporters. They focus on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in laboratories, the food industry, the clothing trade, and the entertainment business. They also work to address a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. Every year, billions of animals suffer and die for clothing and accessories. Their skin is torn off to make leather, birds are held down while their feathers are ripped out by the handful, and small animals are kept in cramped cages for life before finally being killed for their fur. Sheep are often beaten and mutilated during shearings, and they’re also killed so that their skin can be used for shearling. Goats are similarly abused for cashmere and mohair. All this is done in the name of fashion. No matter what type of material it is or where it comes from, if the process involves an animal, it involves horrific cruelty.
The “PETA-Approved Vegan” logo is designed to highlight clothing, accessories, furniture, and home decor goods made of vegan alternatives to animal-derived materials such as leather, fur, wool, silk, feathers, or bone. It helps consumers identify vegan items at a glance while shopping and make purchases that align with their values.
