PETA President ‘Skinned Alive’ in Mumbai

Shoppers in Mumbai were met with a shocking sight, as PETA President Ingrid Newkirk was gruesomely “skinned alive” by a butcher as she protested with a sign that read, “Leather is someone’s skin.

Partnering with The Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO), we distributed coats across refugee camps in Jordan.

Clean out your closet and clear your conscience.
