Fashion Shouldn’t REVOLVE Around Cruelty: Urge REVOLVE To Drop Angora

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

E-commerce retailer REVOLVE continues to sell sweaters, shorts, and cardigans made from angora, even after hearing from PETA about the immense suffering behind the production of angora. Rabbits used for angora are tortured every few months when workers pin them down and tear out their hair by hand as the animals scream in fear. Others freeze in terror as they are violently shorn.

When workers aren’t stealing angora rabbits’ hair, the animals are confined to cramped, filthy cages where they’re deprived of everything natural and important to them. Many die from illness or injury, and those who survive are eventually hung upside down and have their throats slit once they stop producing profitable hair.

The good news is that many are rejecting this cruelty. More than 500 brands have already banned angora, proving that fashion does not have to involve suffering. It is time for REVOLVE to join the list.

Use the action form below to urge REVOLVE to stop selling angora.

I was disappointed to learn that your company still sells angora, especially given that more than 500 major fashion brands have recognized the inherent cruelty and banned it. Angora comes from rabbits who are restrained while workers violently rip out their hair as they scream in pain and terror or shear them so roughly that they’re left cut and bleeding.

These animals spend their lives confined to small cages and endure repeated trauma every few months when workers pluck or shear their hair. Eventually, those who have survived years of this abuse are hung upside down, and their throats are slit.

No product is worth this suffering. With so many animal-free fibers available—like bamboo, TENCEL, hemp, and organic cotton—there’s no acceptable excuse to use angora. Hundreds of companies have already banned it, proving that compassion and innovation go hand in hand.

I urge you to stop selling angora. Until you do, I will be shopping elsewhere and supporting companies that refuse to profit from this cruelty.
