Columbus, Ohio – On Wednesday, PETA supporters joined by enormous, can’t-be-missed alpaca, cow, sheep, and goose puppets will cause mayhem outside the Anthropologie store on High Street and loudly demand that Anthropologie and other Urban Outfitters brands—including Urban Outfitters and Free People—leave alpaca fleece, wool, leather, down, mohair, and cashmere on their original owners.
When: Wednesday, December 8, 12 noon
Where: Anthropologie, 625 N. High St., Columbus
“Anthropologie stores are graveyards for animals who were beaten, cut up, and killed,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “PETA is calling on Urban Outfitters brands to honor the company’s consumer pledge of sustainability and ethics by selling only vegan materials—which would be easy to do, because they already stock them.”
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to wear”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
