Gucci dumps seal fur.
*one down*

After hearing from thousands of PETA supporters, Gucci has assured PETA that it will not sell any more seal fur, a product of the vicious Canadian seal hunt—an annual massacre in which hundreds of thousands of terrified baby seals are clubbed to death and many are skinned alive. This is a step in the right direction, but PETA now wants Gucci to stop peddling pelts from all animals. By selling real fur, Gucci is responsible for promoting fur as well as promoting the horrors of the entire fur industry, which have been documented on video.

5. next stop: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace
and the EU Environmental commission who is going to recommend a ban on all seal products before Summer.
