New Zealand Designer, Annah Stretton has confirmed she will no longer use fur after PETA supporters’ protest.
"Today's kind shoppers want nothing to do with an industry that confines animals to cramped cages, violently beats them, and tears their skin off," says PETA Australia spokesperson Emily Rice. "By banning fur from future collections, Annah Stretton has done the kind thing for animals and consumers."
Like Stretton, fashion brands such as Versace, Gucci, Michael Kors, Jimmy Choo, Donna Karan, and John Galliano have joined the fur-free clan in the past year, and New Zealand and Australia count over 100 brands that have jumped in the fur-free bandwagon.
