Buying Humane Clothes

There are a lot of animal cruelties in the global clothing industry such as brutal fur farms, clubbing and skinning alive baby seals, a toxic leather industry supplemented by unmarked chinese dogs, Angora rabbits and geese having their fur and feathers violently torn off repeatedly, and mutilated sheep farms.

Below are ways to find humane clothes that avoid the cruel clothing industry.
