Victoria Beckham Is Slammed by Animal Welfare Activists

Designer and former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham has been criticized by animal rights groups. During Paris Fashion Week, paparazzi photographed Victoria wearing the £16,000 Hermes Birkin handbag.

This accessory is made of crocodile skin, but eco-activists were outraged by another fact. The point is that a few months ago, Victoria declared her fashion and beauty empire “cruelty-free”.

Representative of the non-profit organization PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) Elisa Allen commented on this situation: “Victoria Beckham’s decision to ban exotic skins from her fashion brand’s collection was a great first step, sparing countless crocodiles, alligators, snakes, and lizards a gruesome death — but it shouldn’t stop at her own personal wardrobe choices.”

“She can start by donating any cruelly produced exotic-skin items to PETA for use in educational displays — and by opting for luxury vegan accessories”, - she added.
