Peta protesters disrupt Victoria Beckham’s Paris fashion week show
Victoria Beckham’s show at Paris fashion week was interrupted by protesters from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), who invaded the runway to protest against her use of animal products.

Protesters wore white T-shirts that read: ‘Turn your back on animal skins’ and ‘Animals aren’t fabric’. They walked alongside models on the catwalk, holding up placards that read: ‘Viva vegan leather’. The European president of the group said on Friday: ‘No garment or accessory is worth violently slaughtering and skinning a sensitive and intelligent animal. We are urging Victoria Beckham to turn instead to the ethical and eco-friendly innovations available today, such as high-end leather made from apples, grapes, pineapples, mushrooms and more.’

As far as I'm concerned, they could all go to Pluto, organisers and protesters
👍
Awesome. Imagine a world where animals are not products, but treated with respect and compassion.
I do love peacful protests aimed at progress and empathy – it makes the world better a better place. Kudos to the women here
Great job PETA!!
What people will do for attention..
Oh dear and she was celebrating with £160 shots as well. 😂😂😂
What if the animal died of natural causes
👏🥰🐕🙋♀️💞💚🕊️
They’re saints. Netflix future series.
Well done!!
BRAVO ❤
Animals are NOT fabric, decoration, amusement, or accessory!!!!
THEY ARE ALIVE AND WANT TO LIVE JUST LIKE YOU DO!!!!
strong Women fight for the right side if life again this toxisch Modellabel.
I imagine her dresses, tattoo etch are all 0 emission, 0 child abuse…
Debería primero de hacer una lista de lo que usa en su vida diaria y es derivado animal y luego pensar antes de salir a protestar además de revisar lo que está haciendo en su vida que contamina y hacer un cambio en su vida principalmente. Afectar un desfile no cambiará al mundo
the plastics in vegan leather will probably do more damage for the world in the long run than ethically sourcing leather. That said, the fashion industry in general is a toxic nightmare and anyone supporting these brands need to sort themselves out.
According to UN data, 165 million children worldwide are too small for their age, or stunted, due to chronic malnutrition. Three quarters of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In sub-Saharan Africa, 40% of children are affected; in South Asia, 39%.
3.2 million children under the age of 5 die each year in sub-Saharan Africa – that's about half of the world's deaths in this age group.
Worldwide, nearly every second death in children under the age of five is due to malnutrition. 0:07
Man you really couldn’t have a more pointless cause 🤦🏿♂️
Bravo PETA! AND STELLA Mc.❤❤
There needs to be serious animal rights
The only problem I have with vegan leather is it is made of plastic and therefor bad for the planet. Until we can find a green alternative to leather, I do feel it is better to use real leather or just none at all.
👌👏👏👏👏👏 they are LIFE too. 💚
Ask the peta protestor what's the material she's wearing as her pants.
Brava! — A clear message with poise and grace.
Ich esse nur NOCH MEHR FLEISCH wegen diesen Nullen
Yes, well done!
Makes me wanna go buy more leather products 😊😊😊
Regardless of anyone's stance on the issue .. this complete lack of security puts the models in danger. Sure .. the protestors were peaceful .. but what about next time? Whoever is running security for the show should be fired immediately and replaced with someone competent. Shameful.
I want one of those T-shirts!
I only wear soy based garments
I would rather imagine a world without plastic pollution. In which case we will need animal products to fill the gaps. And intensive plant farming for soya and palm oil and and veg etc is responsible for the destruction of huge amounts of habitat of wild animals and so many animals are massacred to create tofu and hummus. Avocado and almond farming contribute to drought and therefore more habitat destruction. Quinoa farming has destroyed Peruvian farmers natural diets as their staple crop is now harvested for export. Any intensive farming is just as toxic to the environment as intensive animal farming, however soil regenerative farming means using grazing animals to regenerate soil and nutrients. You want a healthy planet, you need animal manure.
Animals are friends, food and clothing. Yes, to think other wise is just privilege
The amount of bots in here are insane 😂
A protest not about Gaza.
The world is back to 2006
Love the second one ❤
Why is she still even bothering with her fashion label? 😂
Ya'll protesting about animal rights while there's a genocide still going on? Maybe ya'll need empathy
