Yesterday I attended the La Show Show protest against leather. PETA organized it even though I got an e-mail from them saying to join them it felt like I was just watching them. It was cool how they got there message out. They dressed up as cows (as you can see in the photos above). Cars passing nearby honked at them and waved. PETA also passed out flyers about the leather industry.
Did you know?
Most leather comes from other countries like China or India. The animals have their throuts cut and there skin (fur) is torn from them all while they are still conscious! Watch a video and trust me it is horrible!
Don't wear or buy leather!
"Every year, most of the millions of cows slaughtered for the leather industry endure castration, tail-docking, and de-horning—all without being given any painkillers. Leather is also bad for the environment: In order to preserve the skins, companies use toxic chemicals that can end up in nearby soil and water supplies."
