I have but two great loves in life: animals and shoes. But there’s nothing I hate more than when the latter causes the former suffering. So I was over the moon—and slightly jealous—when I heard that mayjah fashion house Dior had made special vegan shoes for the new face of its Miss Dior Cherie campaign, … Read more »
These ladies aren’t catty, they’re compassionate! They stood outside Vienna’s Rathaus in the bitter cold to remind everyone that fur belongs on its original owners.
Donna Karan knows about the suffering that goes into each and every fur-trimmed coat, hat, and bag that contains the skins of dead rabbits (we know—we showed her ourselves).

And so, there I am, enjoying some vegan pancakes and perusing the morning paper, when all of a sudden I realize—that’s me on the front page! Of course, I’m fine. The blood and the bashed-in head at PETA’s recent demonstration weren’t real—but I truly wish that I could say the same for the suffering of … Read more »
Handlebar mustaches are back in style (for guys and girls alike!), thanks to peta2’s new “Grow Your Own Fur” challenge.

They’re graphic, grotesque, and downright ghastly—and I just can’t get enough of them. I’m talking about PETA’s “Here’s the Rest of Your Fur Coat” anti-fur ads.
