Daphne D- AR: The Next Social Justice Movement

I am the voice of the voiceless: Through me, the dumb shall speak; Till the deaf world’s ear be made to hear The cry of the wordless weak. And I am my brother’s keeper, And I will fight his fight; And speak the word for beast and bird Till the world shall set things right.

Boycott Bloody Burberry-Sign the Petition



Boycott Burberry Until It Stops Using Fur
Burberry is still using fur in its designs. As an industry leader, Burberry should be standing proud as a leader of a forward-thinking fashion scene, but instead it's stuck in the dark ages. Death for fashion cannot be justified!

Minks, foxes, and raccoons are just some of the animals who will suffer at the hands of a bad fashion choice. How could somebody wear the skin of one of these animals draped around his or her neck? Animals raised for fur are kept in some of the worst conditions imaginable, and they suffer horribly painful deaths. Anal electrocution and drowning are common methods used to kill the animals so as not to damage their fur. Burberry's decision to sell fur has become the animals' death warrant.

We are asking Burberry to follow the lead of Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Ralph Lauren and other top designers who have stopped using fur in their designs and to adopt cruelty-free alternatives. Please pledge to boycott Burberry until it stops using fur in its designs
