I don’t know about you guys, but when I hit the mall, H&M is one of the first places I go. H&M is known as an industry leader in all things stylish and cruelty-free—and they’ve recently made all compassionate shoppers even happier, by implementing a policy against selling all exotic skins! Because of this huge announcement, H&M is the recipient of our Company of the Year Proggy Award. H&M’s announcement to no longer sell exotic skins came after we sent a copy of our new expose to the universally loved retailer. (Seriously, H&M is like apparel candy: affordable and deliciously fashionable, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love them.)
Millions of animals—including zebras, bison, water buffaloes, boars, deer, kangaroos, elephants, eels, sharks, dolphins, seals, walruses, frogs, crocodiles, lizards, and snakes—are slaughtered every year for the global leather industry. Check out peta2′s new “Cold Blooded Fashion” video below, and take the pledge never to wear exotic skins now!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.

I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)

This is truly aweful and makes me feel sick! Fashion has so many other ways it can capture consumers and consumers have so many other choices! Lets really do something about this and stop this cruel torture of these beautiful creatures! There are important issues to address in the world today, and animal cruelty is one that should be at the top. These retailers need to be exposed for what they are willingly buying, and I for one would like to do what I can to educate people on making wiser and cruelty-free purchasing decisions.
