Wears

Many people are surprised to learn that clothing materials like leather and wool almost always come from animals who have been treated badly. Sadly, lots of farm animals are suffering right now so that people can make jackets, sweaters, shoes and other items out of their feathers, coats, fur, or skin. Check out the list below to find out what kind of materials usually come from abused animals:

Product Animal
Leather Cows, calves, lambs & other young animals
Angora Rabbits
Cashmere Goats
Down Ducks & geese
Mohair Goats
Wool & Felt Sheep

As people who care about animals, we can decide to wear clothes and shoes that were made without hurting living creatures. Today, thanks to the discovery of synthetic materials, it is possible to buy "fake" leather jackets or shoes, "fake" fleece, "fake" wool sweaters and "fake" down jackets.
