• Holister Sweaters Contain Rabbit Hair!

    Recently I bought a sweater from Hollister, and when my mom washed it, she noticed the tag said it was made of rabbit hair. She knew I would have an issue with that, so she immediately informed me about it. I searched about it, and most of their sweaters DO contain hair. I am extremely upset and will no longer buy from there. (I rarely did before anyways) But, I wanted to let the world know about it. What could we do about this? Has anyone else come across this yet?

    @EmilySeay That’s horrible! Be sure to check tags before you buy next time. :)

    @annie-l Here’s a link to a sweater from Hollister that is made from a percentage of angora wool:

    Thanks for letting us know about this. We’ll check it out! Remeber that the best way to stop people from buying fur is by letting them know how cruel it actually is. Be sure to share this video with everyone you know: http://features.peta2.com/furisdead/WhatsWrongWithFur.aspx and e-mail me at AnnieL@peta2.com so that I can send you some of our fur-free leaflets!

    @annie-I Sorry for the late reply. Well I purchased the sweater in store, and I couldn’t find it online. But, I’m sure many also contain the hair. What could we do about it? Could we create a take action for it? I could find some more info on this issue. Since it says on the tag inside the sweater, I could go to my local mall and look at tags on others. Then find them online. I really want to inform the public about this, so what could we do?

    I guess I won’t shop there anymore! That’s ok though because I’ve only bought one shirt from them and that’s it.
