Don’t Settle for Sheep Abuse in ‘Catan’—You Can Play the Vegan Way
Whether you’re building roads or building a better world, PETA’s new vegan card decal accessory for Catan let you do both—without exploiting gentle sheep for wool. In Catan the goal is to build a thriving settlement using resources like wood, brick, ore, grain … and, until now, sheep. But sheep aren’t resources—they’re individuals. Just in time for Catan’s 30th anniversary and the release of the sixth edition, PETA is helping to stack your deck in animals’ favor.
PETA’s New Hemp Resource Accessory for Catan Changes the Game for the Better
Our limited-edition Hemp Resource Card decals, rolling out on 4/20, are here to change the game.
Hemp was one of the first plants spun into fiber by humans nearly 50,000 years ago. It is a sustainable, animal-free alternative to wool, and it can be used to create clothing, rope, building materials, and anything else you might need to fuel your next settlement.
Don’t Settle for Sheep Exploitation in Catan
When humans exploit sheep for their wool, the animals suffer endlessly. PETA entities have released 15 exposés of over 150 wool industry operations in seven countries on four continents revealing workers beating, kicking, and slamming sheep into floors; burning and cutting lambs’ tails off; and crudely stitching up gaping wounds without painkillers, among other routine abuses. Durable, eco-friendly, and animal-free materials from hemp to bamboo can be used for everything from socks to sweaters to settlements.
