Companies Cutting Ties with HKTV
The following companies have issued public statements ending their relationship with HKTVmall, one of Hong Kong’s most popular online shopping platforms, owned by Hong Kong Technology Venture Company Limited (HKTV), in light of HKTV’s gruesome decapitation and dismemberment experiments on pigs and sheep. PETA and PETA Asia are urging HKTV to ban these cruel, Frankenstein-like experiments on animals.
Effective 3 April, we have closed our shop on HKTVmall (a subsidiary of Hong Kong Technology Venture Company Limited) to ensure our presence aligns strictly with our core value of Fighting Animal Testing. …. [O]ur decision to withdraw is solely due to concerns regarding unethical animal testing activities associated with this company group. We cannot risk contributing even a single penny, directly or indirectly, to animal testing through this collaboration. —Lush Asia Limited
At Emma, we know that sleeping well is also about having a clear conscience. As soon as we learned about the troubling animal testing funded by HKTVmall’s parent company, Emma decided not to continue its commercial relationship with HKTVmall, with the store closing and the relationship fully concluded by the end of the year. We appreciate and support PETA bringing this matter to our attention. —Emma – The Sleep Company
Recently, we became aware of news concerning animal testing disclosed by “Hong Kong Technology Venture.” As a pet health company that has always regarded “life” and “companionship” as our core values, we feel shocked, saddened, and deeply uneasy. We firmly believe that the boundaries of scientific exploration should always be guided by reverence for life, and that the original purpose of technological development should include the most basic compassion for all living beings. The dignity of life must not be traded, nor should it be easily stripped away in the name of “future possibilities.” Therefore, after a serious and unanimous company decision, effective immediately, we will remove all Pawfect Reborn products from the HKTVmall platform and terminate our store partnership with that platform. —Translated from Pawfect Reborn
Fitasty has officially been removed from HKTVmall. … We have always valued… respect for life and values… —Translated from Fitasty
