PETA calls out URBN after wool expose

PHILADELPHIA – Animal rights organisation PETA says it’s “pointing the finger” at fashion retailer URBN – owner of Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie and Free People – after footage from a PETA Asia investigation showed violence against sheep in Australia’s wool industry. 

“Every wool sweater or scarf for sale at Urban Outfitters represents a gentle sheep who was kicked, punched, or left in a pool of her own blood on a shearing shed floor,” commented PETA executive vice president Tracy Reiman.
