ABOUT
In the "Leather is Dead" campaign by PEAT, the image of a crocodile, rhinoceros, and gorilla transformed into leather sofas serves as a stark reminder of the dark reality behind the animal leather industry. These majestic creatures, once thriving in their natural habitats, have been mercilessly slaughtered for their skins to satisfy the demand for luxury leather goods.
The crocodile, with its tough scales and fierce demeanor, now lies lifeless, stripped of its identity and reduced to a mere commodity. The rhinoceros, known for its strength and resilience, has been reduced to a mere decoration in someone's living room. And the gorilla, a symbol of intelligence and complexity, now serves as a cold and lifeless sofa in a cruel display of human greed.
The animal leather industry is not only a dirty business, but also a ruthless one, where profit trumps compassion and the lives of innocent creatures are sacrificed for the sake of fashion. It is time to recognize that leather is dead, both metaphorically and literally, and to choose ethical and sustainable alternatives that respect the lives of animals and the planet.
