Dressed as the Grim Reaper and holding signs that read, "Alannah Hill: Designer Of Death" members of People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia-Pacific protested outside the flagship Alannah Hill Boutique in Melbourne this afternoon. The protest follows PETA’s attempts to talk to Hill about her decision to include fur in her designs.
China, where much of Hill’s fur is believed to originate, has no laws to protect animals on fur farms and is now the world’s leading fur exporter. Video footage from PETA’s undercover investigation shows workers who slam foxes and raccoon dogs to the ground before skinning the animals. After the are skinned, some of the animals are shown panting and blinking. Millions of cats and dogs in China are strangled of bled to death for their fur, which is often mislabelled before it is exported, leading consumers to believe that it comes from other species.
"When it comes to terror and death, even the Grim Reaper has nothing on Alannah Hill", says PETA Asia-Pacific’s Ward Young. "With so many fashionable and warm alternatives available, there’s simply no excuse for wearing fur."
they can protest all they want, the fur industry will never disappear OR implement new cruel free ways of killing those poor animals. why don’t they get it that no one cares about animals (as there are sooo little vegetarians out there) and anyway ,it is the rich folks who control these businesses …..
Elle, you are a very mean spirited being. How would you like to have your skin torn from your body while you are still alive? People like you should go to bed every night being ashamed at their lack of sympathy and empathy and devote your time to fixing that problem.
And, there are heaps of vegetarians and vegans “out there” and we are kind people who care about animals and fight for them even when people like you are far too concerned with yourselves.

Elle – you are a prime example of selfishness.
Just because you don’t care, it doesn’t mean others don’t, or that they don’t have the right to.
If you had ANY idea what the Chinese did to animals on fur farms etc you’d either be as horrified as I am, or completely retarded and devoid of emotion.
I agree with Ainsley – you really should be ashamed of yourself.
even if alannah hill didnt use fur I would still hate her. she is fat and ugly and her clothes suck. I hate selling her clothes online to buyers who pay more than $1 for it when i get it for free. I HATE HER
it is so sick what alannah hill is doing!
that store was one of my favourites, and i used to say that when ever i get pay i’ll buy stuff from there.
but i will NEVER buy from there again. its disgusting. its murder. and its so so horrible that this
issue exists in our corrupt world. those poor innocent animals.
i hope alannah hill and her stupid, ridiculously expensive, fashion label goes bankruppt.
what a bitch.
There’s a PETA here to ask Hill to stop killing animals in the name of fashion. Visit the link to find out more and see the horrifying undercover video of a Chinese fur farm.
