Choose a campaign that sparks your interest

Click on the image and read the text

Now summarize, in English:

• What you see on the image
  
• The story this campaign is telling
  

For example..

I see a person, smoking a pipe. On this pipe there’s a melting ice cap, a polar bear and a walrus. In the smoke I see different arctic animals and animals that live in colder environments

The message is that we are taking too long to think about what to do about climate change. Like Sherlock Holmes, smoking a pipe, trying to solve a problem. But in our case we don’t have the time to wonder and think, we have to act now!

Hand in a screenshot of your summary (also include an image of your chosen campaign)

Let's look into Hèrmes

Hèrmes

Hèrmes published an Animal Welfare Policy in 2021. However, the fashion brand continues to use leather, wool, down, fur, exotic animal skin, shearling, hair, horn, and silk. They had an animal welfare rating of “Very Poor” by Good On You.

In 2020, the company announced plans to build a large crocodile farm in Australia. There, animals would be killed and their skin used to make Hèrmes products. This came after a PETA investigation revealed the cruelty that crocodiles at a Texas farm were being kept in. There, crocodiles were kept in appalling conditions before being brutally killed. Similar allegations of cruelty have surrounded ostrich, snake, and lizard farms that the company sources materials from.

"Just because crocs are big, ugly dinosaurs doesn't mean that they should be treated badly for a French luxury handbag."

 Uses Angora Rabbit Farms in Spain despite evidence of animal cruelty

Uses coyote fur. They also pluck geese without being sedated and keep them in extremely small cages. Often the geese are boiled alive.

Uses cashmere from Mongolian farms that mistreat goats

 Uses ostrich farms and slaughterhouses which mistreat the ostriches
