You Can Help!

If you don’t like what you see here, you’re in good company. Every year, millions of people turn away from wearing animal skins by refusing to purchase products made from them. For animals’ sake, please, don’t buy wool.

There are fashionable, durable, and warm alternatives to wool available virtually everywhere that clothes are sold. Click here to view PETA’s “Shopping Guide to Compassionate Clothing.”

• Write to your local newspaper to educate readers about the cruelty endured by animals raised for wool.
•  Leaflet at local shopping centers or other places where wool is sold. Click here to view or order our “What’s Wrong With  Wool?” leaflet. Before leafleting at a business that sells wool, try taking copies of our leaflet and video to the store manager, and ask that some or all of the company’s wool items be replaced with cruelty-free fabrics.
•  Create a display for your local or public library to inform people about the cruelty of wool production and to encourage them to purchase only alternatives to wool. We can provide you with any of the resources that you’ll need.
