2012 – Haband
After meeting with PETA, apparel and accessories company Haband removes all down-filled items from among its offerings and becomes the first company to implement an official policy banning the sale of down feathers.
“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”
— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
