Join local PETA supporters for a protest against wool sales at H&M, following PETA Asia’s latest investigation into a farm that has ties to H&M Group. PETA Asia went undercover at a farm that sells NATIVA wool, which is “the leading brand for responsibly sourced, 100% traceable natural fibers.” The investigator found it is no different from any other humane-washing marketing scheme. They rely on buzzwords like “responsible” and “traceable” as animals suffer.The investigation reveals the immense exploitation endured by sheep in the wool industry. No matter the label, sheep are kicked, hit in the face with metal shearing equipment, and left bleeding from untreated wounds. The investigator also found a dead lamb on the property and a sheep with a maggot-infested wound. Wool is suffering spun into fabric, and H&M is complicit in this abuse so long as it continues to sell it.

We have a required dress code! Please dress sharply in a PETA T-shirt, nice pants, and close-toed shoes. We must ensure that the focus remains on the animals without any distractions that could shift people’s attention. T-shirts will be available on-site for everyone.
All materials, such as posters, will be provided, and we will then go out for a vegan lunch, courtesy of PETA.
Please refrain from bringing dogs, as there might not be a comfortable place for them to lie down during the protest.
I hope to see you there!
