This week, as Trueno, Chiquis Rivera, Julieta Venegas, Carlos Rivera, Clarissa Molina, Los Angeles Azueles, and other VIPS gathered at the exclusive backstage Latin GRAMMY® Gift Lounge in Miami, PETA Latino supporters and representatives from local animal-friendly retailer Green Vegan Bags were on site to treat the stars to luxe vegan leather handbags.
These bags are crafted from apples, corn, grapes, cactus, pineapple, cork, and upcycled and recycled textiles—not from animal skins. VIPs were also invited to choose from a selection of PETA Latino merchandise, including its paparazzi-proof “The Future Is Vegan” baseball cap.
By carrying a sustainable, PETA-approved Green Vegan Bag made from innovative, eco-chic vegan materials, Latin music’s biggest stars can save animals’ lives, reduce their carbon footprint, and set a kind yet stylish example for their fans.
From cows to crocodiles, all animals who are killed for the fashion industry are individuals who feel pain and fear and value their lives. For example, cows develop friendships over time and sometimes hold grudges against those who treat them badly, hatchling alligators generally stay together in a “pod” for up to three years, and snakes smell with their tongue and can even tell which direction a smell is coming from. Every animal is someone and they deserve our respect.
