SMARTY-HUMANITIES: PETA Blasts Hermes Breeds Crocodiles to Kill for Handbags Purses Victoria Beckham and her Haircut

Jun 13, 2009 Author: Katie Lara | Filed under: Fashion, Newsworthy, Smarty-Humanities

Is it fashionably cute to wear an animal’s skin? Victoria Beckham and her new haircut apparently think so.  If you’ve been lusting after an Hermes bag all these years, lust no more! The Fashion Superpower has recently been blasted by PETA for breeding crocodiles to murder for its bags. Wanna know something else?  It takes 3-4 poor crocs to make ONE bag. Don’t get me wrong. I’m terrified of Crocodiles, but the thought of raising them to kill them and use their skin to dye pink and wear around just to put a leather wallet in kind of makes me nauseaus. My fave part is that the head honcho, Patrick Thomas is quoted as saying they HAVE to do this to keep up with the demand for their bags which cost up to $50,000. Umm, as if there is no choice but to keep making them. Poor things, slaves to the customers. Who feels bad for Hermes?
