Karl Lagerfeld has banned its use of exotic animal skins, as the
\nbrand is hoping that this move may reduce the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n
According to a statement from PETA, “wildlife experts warn that the
\ntrade in skins of snakes, crocodiles, and others could fuel the spread
\nof diseases like COVID-19.”<\/p>\n

\nincluding Diane von Furstenberg, Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood,

“Kudos to Karl Lagerfeld for making the compassionate,
\nbusiness-savvy decision to shun skins stolen from wild animals, a move
\nthat may just save some human lives, too,” says PETA’s executive vice
\npresident Tracy Reiman commented. “PETA-approved vegan clothing and
\naccessories are the way to go for anyone who wants to help prevent the
\nkilling of animals and the rise of the next pandemic.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
