Animals Are Being Violently Killed for Brands Like Gucci PeTA
No matter what standards companies tout, PETA entities have repeatedly exposed the horrendous ways in which animals are abused by the exotic skins trade. A previous PETA Asia investigation documented that snakes in Vietnam are killed by being inflated with compressed air and that crocodiles are electroshocked, stabbed, inflated, and then likely skinned alive. In South Africa, PETA U.S. investigators caught workers on camera striking ostriches in the face during transport, and at the slaughterhouse, they were stunned and flipped upside down, and then their throats were slit in full view of the other terrified birds—all for the bumpy-textured ostrich-skin purses sold by Gucci.
No bag, belt, or wallet is worth so much pain and suffering. Please don’t buy accessories made out of exotic skins: Choose humane, eco-friendly, vegan options instead.
Urge Gucci to Drop Exotic Skins
Gucci banned fur and angora after hearing from PETA and our supporters. It’s time for the company to do the same with exotic skins. Please join PETA in calling on Gucci to stop using exotic skins today.
I just watched PETA Asia’s investigation into an Indonesian slaughterhouse that supplies your company with lizard skin. The footage shows lizards being callously thrown around, struck with a machete, and beheaded without stunning to make bags, belts, wallets, and other fashion accessories.
Please stop profiting from this abuse and drop exotic skins.
According to reptile experts, decapitating live, conscious reptiles is highly inhumane, because it doesn’t cause an instantaneous death. Lizards’ brains can remain conscious for over 30 minutes after they have been beheaded. PETA’s previous exposés have shown that pythons in Vietnam are killed by being inflated with compressed air and that crocodiles are electroshocked, stabbed, inflated, and then likely skinned alive.
PETA also obtained footage of ostriches—whose skin is used for the bumpy-textured purses sold by Gucci—showing that they’re kept in barren dirt feedlots before being sent for slaughter, where they’re forcibly restrained, electrically stunned, and flipped upside down, and then their throats are slit in full view of their terrified flockmates. No matter what “standards” your parent company, Kering, touts, there is simply no kind way to kill a living being who does not want to die. Gucci has already made the compassionate decision to ban fur and angora—please stop supporting animal abuse by also ending your sales of exotic skins. Kind regards,

Were monkeys forced to pick your coconuts? — PeTA
https://secure.petaasia.com/page/63752/action/1
Many kind people choose coconut milk instead of cow’s milk because they don’t want to support cruelty to animals. But a disturbing PETA investigation reveals that terrified young monkeys in Thailand are kept chained, abusively trained, and forced to climb trees to pick coconuts that are used to make coconut milk, meat, flour, oil, and other products. https://www.youtube.com/embed/2XpSTF7VRA0?showinfo=0
Chained and Driven Insane
PETA investigators visited eight farms where monkeys are forced to pick coconuts—including those for Thailand’s major coconut milk producers, Aroy-D and Chaokoh—as well as several monkey-training facilities and a coconut-picking competition. At each one, they documented that these sensitive animals were abused and exploited. After being alerted to the situation, Walgreens Boots Alliance has committed to not stocking Aroy-D or Chaokoh products and not knowingly selling any coconut food and drink products of Thai origin in its own brand lines. This will apply to its 9,277 Walgreens and 250 Duane Reade stores in the US as well as 2,758 Boots stores in the UK and Thailand. U.K. retailers Waitrose, Co-op, Ocado, and Morrisons, have all dropped Aroy-D and Chaokoh products, or have made a commitment to never sell any products sourced from monkey labour. Bed Bath & Beyond’s Cost Plus World Market, with 276 stores nationwide plus online products, has stopped buying coconut products from Chaokoh. Likewise, Ahold Delhaize and its 2,000 US store locations and distribution centres (including Giant Food, Food Lion, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford) as well as all of its 889 Albert Heijn stores in the Netherlands have committed to no longer knowingly stocking and selling any products sourced from suppliers that use monkey labour.
Following PETA’s investigation, more than 15,000 stores will no longer purchase these brands’ products, with the majority also no longer buying any coconut products sourced from Thailand monkey labor.
Many monkeys are illegally abducted from their families and homes when they’re just babies. They’re fitted with rigid metal collars and kept chained or tethered for extended periods.
Denied the freedom to move around, socialize with others, or do anything else that is important to them, these intelligent animals slowly lose their minds. Driven to desperation, they pace and circle endlessly on the barren, trash-strewn patches of dirt where they’re chained.
Cruelly Trained and Teeth Pulled Out
The terrified young monkeys are forced to perform frustrating and difficult tasks, such as twisting heavy coconuts until they fall off the trees from a great height. An investigator learned that if monkeys try to defend themselves, their canine teeth may be pulled. To earn more money off these animals, some trainers also force them to participate in circus-style shows in which they entertain paying visitors by riding bicycles, shooting basketballs, and performing other confusing and demeaning tricks.
An investigator saw monkeys being transported in cramped cages that were barely large enough for them to turn around in and others left in locked cages in the back of a pickup truck, with no shelter from the driving rain. One monkey was seen frantically shaking the cage bars in a vain attempt to escape.
Tethered by the neck with a metal collar, the monkeys are forced to climb up and down trees and collect up to 1,000 coconuts per day.
No Tropical Paradise
A PETA investigator was told by a worker at one farm that it supplies coconuts to brands Aroy-D and Chaokoh both of which are sold in major stores around the world. According to an industry insider, most coconuts that come from Thailand are picked by monkeys. So if you purchase Aroy-D, Chaokoh, or coconut milk, oil, meat, or flour products from Thailand, you may inadvertently be supporting this cruelty.
Other coconut-growing regions—including Brazil, Colombia, and Hawaii—harvest coconuts using humane methods such as tractor-mounted hydraulic elevators, willing human tree-climbers, rope or platform systems, or ladders, or they plant dwarf coconut trees. Studies have shown that these methods are superior to using monkeys, who can’t distinguish between ripe and unripe fruit, and the ripe coconuts get bruised when the monkeys drop them to the ground. Coconut water typically comes from coconuts on dwarf trees and doesn’t involve monkey labor—but not always. Harmless Harvest is one company that PETA has confirmed does not use monkey labor for coconut water.
PETA invites any Thailand-based coconut companies to provide evidence that they don’t use forced monkey labor.
Take Action
Please, make sure that your coconut products don’t come from any companies that exploit monkeys. Sign below to urge Aroy-D and Chaokoh to stop supporting this cruel industry by obtaining their coconuts from companies that don’t use monkeys.

Help Stop Vietnam’s Cruel Pig Slaughter Festival — PeTA asia
The Nem Thuong Pig Slaughter Festival in Vietnam is one of the worst „festivals“ in the world. For the event—which takes place every Lunar New Year—pigs are tied up and paraded through the streets of Nem Thuong village surrounded by noisy crowds and frightening, loud music. Their throats are then slit while they’re still fully conscious so that villagers can dip money in their blood for „good luck.“
Pigs are social, playful, protective animals who bond with each other, make nests, and relax in the sun. They are known to dream, recognize their own names, learn „tricks“ like sitting for a treat, lead social lives of a complexity previously observed only in primates, and have been seen showing empathy for other pigs who are unhappy or distressed. All pigs deserve long, happy lives, free from suffering and exploitation.
Take Action for Pigs
Torturing and killing animals have never brought anything good into the world, and culture and tradition are no excuse for cruelty. Please take a moment to send a message to officials in Vietnam and ask that they put an end to this cruel festival immediately.
Dear {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName},
The Nem Thuong Pig Slaughter Festival in Vietnam is one of the worst „festivals“ in the world, and I urge you to stop it immediately. Pigs are frightened as they’re tied up and paraded around Nem Thuong, all while loud music is played. Then their throats are slit.
Pigs are extremely intelligent animals and lead social lives of a complexity previously observed only in primates. They are known to dream, recognize their own names, learn „tricks“ like sitting for a treat, and have been seen showing empathy for other pigs who are unhappy or distressed.
Torturing and killing animals have never brought anything good into the world, and culture and tradition are no excuse for cruelty. Please, help secure Vietnam’s image as a beautiful, peaceful, and friendly country by ending this cruel festival immediately.
Sincerely,

Help Stop Suma Aqualife Park From Building New Enclosures for Orcas and Other Dolphins — peta
https://secure.petaasia.com/page/51111/action/1
須磨海浜水族園の新しいシャチとイルカの展示施設建設の反対にご協力のお願い
Japan’s Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe is planning to build new enclosures in which orcas and other dolphins will be forced to perform meaningless tricks for human entertainment. Scientists around the world recognize the cruelty behind forcing these animals to live in small tanks and perform tricks, and many governments have placed bans on keeping these marine mammals in captivity or are in the process of doing so. Japan is taking a huge step backwards by planning to expand the park and imprison more orcas and other dolphins.
神戸市立須磨海浜水族園は、人の娯楽のためだけに、無意味な芸を強要する「オルカ（シャチ）スタディアム」や「イルカスタディアム」を新たに建設する計画をしています。世界中の科学者は、このような動物が無理に狭い水槽で飼育されたり、芸をさせられたりすることの裏に潜む残酷さを認識しています。政府の多くは、このような海洋生物の飼育を禁じるか、禁じる方向に進んでいます。一方、日本はより多くのシャチやイルカを閉じ込めて、水族館を拡大する計画をして悪化の道をたどっています。
In the wild, these animals live in large, complex social groups and swim vast distances every day in the open ocean. In captivity, they can only swim in endless circles in tanks that are, to them, the equivalent of bathtubs and they’re denied the opportunity to engage in any type of natural behavior. Most die far short of their natural life expectancy.
野生のシャチやイルカは大きくて複雑な群れをなし、毎日広大な海でとても長い距離を泳ぎます。一方、飼育ではシャチやイルカにとって浴槽程度の大きさでしかない水槽で、いつまでも円を描いて泳ぐことしかできず、自然な行動をする機会が完全に奪われています。そのほとんどが、野生下の平均寿命よりずっと早く死んでいます。
Please contact the mayor, city council, and government officials of Kobe now and urge them to stop Suma Aqualife Park’s cruel plans to expand immediately.
今すぐ、神戸市長、神戸市会、神戸市職員に、須磨海浜水族園の残酷な拡大計画の中止を求める要望書を提出してください。

Animals Abused for Tourists‘ Cheap Photos and Entertainment — PeTA
https://secure.petaasia.com/page/43992/action/1
A breaking new PETA video exposé of Thailand’s Samutprakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo shows the abuse endured by a suffering baby elephant made famous by a recent National Geographic feature. As this video footage shows, elephants at the facility are chained for most of their lives and stabbed in order to force them to perform confusing and uncomfortable tricks for tourists. Other animals are also abused: They’re prodded and harassed by workers to force them to perform and so that tourists can take photos with them.
Abused and Stabbed for Cheap Tricks
PETA eyewitnesses documented that workers stabbed elephants with sharp metal implements to coerce them into dancing, bowling, and performing other uncomfortable and confusing tricks. By paying to see these acts, tourists supported the abuse.
Elephants were found with bleeding wounds on their sensitive temples and ears. Other animals also had scars on these areas, indicating that they’ve been subjected to similar abuse.
Chained to a Life of Suffering
Eyewitnesses found that the elephants‘ legs were tethered with short metal chains and the animals were forced to stand on hard flooring, such as concrete, which can cause them to develop foot and joint problems.
The elephants weren’t offered any enrichment opportunities and were only unchained when being forced to perform tricks or give rides to tourists. They constantly swayed from side to side, which is a sign of mental distress.
Severe Abuse and Depression
Other animals were also treated cruelly in order to entertain tourists. Crocodiles were beaten with bamboo sticks by workers during shows, and a tiger was harassed so that tourists could pose with the animal for photos.
Eyewitnesses found that other animals, including a chimpanzee and an orangutan, appeared to be suffering from severe frustration and depression. They were being held captive for photo ops with tourists, which the zoo profited from.
Elephants Deserve Better
Elephants are highly social animals who form strong, lasting bonds with their family members. They work together to solve problems and rely on the wisdom, judgment, and experience of their eldest relatives. In their natural homes, they spend their days socializing, swimming, exploring, and playing.
In nature, they don’t carry people on their backs or perform uncomfortable and confusing tricks. The deprivation, stress, lack of exercise opportunities, and inadequate facilities that elephants endure in captivity can cause them to develop abnormal types of behavior—such as rocking and swaying—never seen in the wild. In addition to dying short of their natural life expectancy, elephants in captivity have high rates of painful and chronic health problems, such as nail cracks, abscesses, obesity, and arthritis.
You Can Help Stop Cruelty to Elephants
PETA has submitted its findings to Thai police. The best thing that you can do to help elephants and other animals exploited for tourism is to make compassionate travel decisions by never patronizing businesses that exploit wild animals or allow direct contact between humans and animals—even facilities that claim to be sanctuaries.
Please also join PETA in urging Trip.com, a company that offers tours that visit Samutprakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo, to remove the exhibit from its itineraries.
Personalized letters always work best. Feel free to use the sample letter provided, but keep in mind that your letter will carry more weight if you write your own customized message and subject line.
