Joaquin Phoenix Reveals Cold-Blooded Horrors
Millions of reptiles are slaughtered each year and turned into shoes, handbags, belts and other accessories. These helpless animals
are viewed as a commodity by those who poach and hunt them, and these
animals suffer as their skin is pulled off their bodies while they are
still alive. Oscar-nominated and Golden Globe– and Grammy-winning actor
Joaquin Phoenix refuses to support an industry based on such cruelty and
takes a behind-the-scenes look at the exotic-skins trade in his
exclusive video for PETA US.
Compassionate companies such as Nike, H&M and Overstock.com
have agreed not to sell exotic skins. With tons of fashionable and
cruelty-free alternatives available, there is no reason for animals to
suffer for a wardrobe.
Help Joaquin and PETA send a
powerful message not only to the cruel exotic-skins industry but also to
designers, retailers and others who directly profit from the suffering
caused by this barbaric business. Take the pledge now to shed exotic
skins from your wardrobe.
Pledge to Shed Exotic Skins From Your Wardrobe
I, the undersigned, hereby pledge to shed exotic skins from my wardrobe. I say "No!" to the cruel slaughter of millions of animals around the world for their skins. I say "No!" to shoes, coats, bags and other products made from the skins of animals and to any other attempt to sneak animal skins into everyday items. I pledge to expose the truth about exotic skins and to spread the word until we close down the exotic-skins trade forever.
