DESCRIPTION:Please join PETA supporters for "Free the Animals" Friday—a pow
	erful initiative by PETA supporters countrywide—on November 27 to protest 
	the sale of wool and the extreme cruelty of the wool industry by urging ho
	liday shoppers to shop vegan.\nFollowing PETA Asia’s latest investigation 
	into a farm that has ties to H&M Group. PETA Asia went undercover at a far
	m that sells NATIVA wool\, which is “the leading brand for responsibly sou
	rced\, 100% traceable natural fibers.” The investigator found it is no dif
	ferent from any other humane-washing marketing scheme. They rely on buzzwo
	rds like “responsible” and “traceable” as animals suffer.\nThe investigati
	on reveals the immense exploitation endured by sheep in the wool industry.
	 No matter the label\, sheep are kicked\, hit in the face with metal shear
	ing equipment\, and left bleeding from untreated wounds. The investigator 
	also found a dead lamb on the property and a sheep with a maggot-infested 
	wound. \nWool is suffering\, spun into fabric\, and H&M is complicit in th
	is abuse so long as it continues to sell it.\nPlease join us on the bigges
	t shopping day of the year in the U.S. to inform consumers about the cruel
	 wool industry. With the widespread availability of animal-friendly materi
	als\, it’s time for H&M to get on board by choosing style\, compassion\, a
	nd true sustainability.\nFor more information\, please visit  https://www.
	peta.org/hm   \nHere are the details:\nWHEN: Friday\, November 27\, 2026\,
	 11:30AM-1:00PM ET\nWHERE: H&M: 1472 Broadway\, New York\, NY 10036 (Pleas
	e see map here:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/AurquKTPpwFFrWwd7 ) \nCONTACT: Ma
	son Melito at MasonM@peta.org\nAll materials\, such as posters\, will be p
	rovided.\nPlease dress sharply in a PETA T-shirt (we will provide one if y
	ou don't already own one)\, nice pants\, and close-toed shoes. We must ens
	ure the focus remains on the animals\, without any distractions that could
	 divert people’s attention.\nNo companion animals. Please refrain from bri
	nging dogs\, as there might not be a comfortable place for them to lie dow
	n during the protest.\nWe hope to see you there!
