Grim Reapers Haunt Paris Fashion Week

PETA’s grim reapers descended upon Paris Fashion Week today, dragging bloodied furs across the city centre. They called on heartless fashion designers to “bring out their dead” furs and urged shoppers to never buy the skins of tortured animals. The reapers reminded the public that whilst the spring and summer collections are being shown, animals are languishing on fur farms and awaiting a cruel fate because some designers continue to use fur.

Despite the rain (which actually gave a more sombre look to the demo considering its theme – sorry guys!), the protest was a huge success with lots of media coverage and a large activist presence. See the other exciting protests held in other cities for this season’s Fashion Week, including Milan and London.

Fur is dead – how true.

I certainly hope that the reapers weren’t wearing anything leather. That’s dead, too. Is PETA against leather?
