After learning from PETA that gentle badgers are beaten with crude instruments, cut open, and left to die in the badger-hair industry, personal-care company Olivina Men and Penhaligon’s—a U.K. fragrance brand that holds the royal warrants to provide Prince Charles and the Duke of Edinburgh with goods and services—agreed to ban badger-hair brushes.
