Be an Angel: Don't Wear Animal Skins

PETA's Angels made a heavenly appearance in Montreal and Quebec City to encourage Christmas Shoppers to shop like saints and cross fur, leather, wool, and exotic skins off their lists. The holidays is a time of mercy and kindness and we hope to inspire people to extend that to animals - and buy fashionable and luxurious fabric options like synthetics and faux's instead of real animal skins for gifts. Other ways you can be a guardian angel for animals and not send anyone to the Pearly Gates is to have a Vegan Christmas dinner this year, and to also not buy products that were tested on animals such as cosmetics, and bath stuff. Visit PETA.org to learn more about helping animals for the holidays.

Fashion Police Ticket Fashion Violators

PETA's Fashion Police toured Southern Ontario (Hamilton, Kitchener, and Windsor) to take charge of the laws of common decency and ticket anyone wearing fur, leather, wool, or exotic animal skins for supporting an industry of violence and cruelty. The Fashion Police were just giving out warnings, and encouraged those caught wearing stolen goods (stolen from the backs of animals) to buy synthetics next time. 







Flesh Is For Zombies! Go Vegan!

Zombie Walks draw thousands of people in cities around the world. Our vegan zombies joined in to make the connection that meat eaters are real-life flesh-eating zombies because they feed on animal corpses.



I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Animals

Our Bare Skin, Don't Wear Skin demonstration hits London, Ontario.






Meat's Not Green!

Eating meat is one of the main causes for some of the most serious environmental problems we face today - from the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest, air and water pollution, water shortage, and even climate change! To spread our message and show our support for a Tar Sands protest on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, PETA's Lettuce Ladies handed out free soy-cocoa to the demonstrators.

Laura Vandervoort Unveils Exotic Skins Ad

Laura Vandervoort unveiled her new Exotic Skins ad in Toronto just before Toronto Fashion Week to encourage fashion enthusiasts to keep reptile, snake, alligator, crocodile, and other exotic skins of their shopping list and instead choose fakes - like Mock-Croc. Exotic animals are routinely skinned alive, and since they have a slow metabolism, remain alive and fully able to feel pain for hours or even days after they've been skinned.


Turkey's Give Away Free Tofurky Roasts before Thanksgiving

Every year in Canada roughly 20 million Turkeys are slaughtered, most of them are killed for Thanksgiving. Swap your bird-flesh centerpiece with a tasty, yummy, delicious Tofurky roast to spare a life (that's already stuffed to save you the hastle!). I go bananas anticipating my Tofurky dinner!
