Overstock.com Bans Exotic Skins
January 2010
After receiving PETA’s research on the exotic-skins industry and watching our new video, the CEO of Overstock.com implemented a policy banning exotic skins.
“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
