Pharrell Williams is under attack from PETA after revealing his most recent initiative as Louis Vuitton‘s innovative supervisor, an intense yellow crocodile-skin bag valued at $1 million.
The pet legal rights company launched an open letter dealt with to the manufacturer, composed by PETA’s Senior VP Lisa Lange. “When you were made men’s creative director of Louis Vuitton, we hoped animals would get lucky and that you would choose vegan fabrics, which are the preference of today’s ethical and environmentally conscious consumers,” the letter gotten by Billboard and initially reported by TMZ checks out. “But we aren’t happy to note your newest design, the ‘Millionaire’ Speedy bag, which is crafted from crocodile skin, because when it comes to animals being used for fashion, it isn’t beautiful—it’s abuse.”

The letter proceeded, “A PETA Asia investigation found workers at LVMH’s suppliers cutting live crocodiles’ necks open and ramming metal rods down their spines while they were still conscious. Another investigation revealed that workers at facilities supplying LVMH struck pythons repeatedly on the head, suspending them in the air, inflating their bodies with water, and disemboweling them — even as they moved about.”
Lange urged Williams to go to a crocodile manufacturing facility to witness the scary himself. “You’d want to bring along nose plugs and high boots to wade through fetid, waste-filled water,” the letter checks out. “If we go to an indoor tank, also bring a flashlight, because you won’t see daylight. There are no blurred lines here. Killing wildlife for a bag isn’t cool—it’s cold. Are you up for this trip?”
Billboard has actually connected to Pharrell’s group for remark, yet have actually not gotten a reaction at the time of magazine.
