Pam’s Shoes: Sexy and Skin-Free!
No one knows more about pleathering herself than PETA pal Pamela
Anderson, so it’s no surprise that the sultry Baywatch
star has designed her own signature line of skin-free shoes. Pam
thinks that fashion should be fun, not fatal, so her shoes are made
with completely cruelty-free materials—not a trace of leather!
Why Pam Loathes Leather
Leather is usually made from cows’ skins but may also be made
from pigs, goats, sheep, exotic animals like alligators, ostriches,
and kangaroos, and even dogs and cats. Since leather is rarely labeled,
you never really know whose skin you’re in.
Animals killed for their skin endure the horrors of intensive factory
farming before they’re shipped to slaughter, where many are
skinned alive. Buying leather directly contributes to factory farms
and slaughterhouses since skin is the most economically important
part of the cow after the flesh. When the milk production of cows
in the dairy industry declines, their flesh often doesn’t
make the cut for consumption, but they are still slaughtered so
their skin can be made into leather. The hides of “veal”
calves are made into high-priced calfskin. The economic success
of the animal-slaughter business is directly linked to the sale
of leather goods.
Leather is also no friend of the environment. Leather products
are loaded with chemical preservatives to keep them from decomposing
in the buyer’s closet, and leather production pollutes the
environment and gobbles up precious resources.
