Michelin Bans Leather Sales and Its Travel Guide Rejects Animal Tourism!

As the Michelin Green Guide marks its 100th anniversary, Michelin confirmed—following meetings with PETA France about animal use tourism and with PETA about leather cruelty—that it will no longer recommend activities such as elephant and camel rides, warn readers that bullfighting is abusive and declining, and stop selling leather. As Michelin Éditions explained, “We are convinced of the need to present content promoting responsible tourism, which includes animal welfare. Therefore, activities that can cause mistreatment…have been removed from our guides.” This shift builds on Michelin’s earlier removal of captive dolphin exhibits and comes as public opposition to bullfighting continues to grow. Michelin is taking meaningful steps for animals, but countless others continue to suffer in the name of entertainment. Please urge StubHub here to end its support of the bullfighting industry.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
