http://www.petatv.com/tvpopup/Prefs.asp?video=save_the_sheep This is a petition to get UGG® Australia to stop using real sheepskin for their shoes. the sheeps may not be killed to get the wool but chances are the sheeps will be slaughtered eventually. If the sheep is no longer needed then it will be slaughtered, also if the sheep has some sort of skin disease its fur cannot be used so it will also be slaughtered. The sheeps are having their fur taken away from them, in a process that can cause them to get cuts that probably hurt. The sheeps grow the fur to protect themselves in certain weather. Also flies feed off of open cuts or the thin layer of exposed skin on the sheeps, causing new wounds. Maggots lay their eggs in the exposed moist skin of the sheeps causing the sheeps to get sick and distressed to the point where they cannot eat drink or sleep and then they die. There are probably many vegans out there who would like to wear some Uggs but wont because they are made with real sheepskin.

Dear UGG® Australia. I would like to say that although you may not be harming the sheeps in the making of your shoes, we have come to understand that in the end there's a high chance the sheeps will be slaughtered because soon they will become of no use to you. The sheeps are harmed in many ways, even if you think they are not. they get wounds from shearing which flies feed of off. the flies also feed of off of their exposed skin, along with the maggots which lay their eggs in the exposed moist skin. these sheeps need their fur to protect them from many other things, not just the weather. I urge you to pay closer attention to the ways you are harming sheep and put an end to your use of real sheepskin Thank you for your time.
We signed the "Make UGG shoes animal friendly!" petition!

I love uggs, but I dont love how they are made, I think that lots more people would buy uggs and feel better about wearing them if they were animal friendly.

I love my UGGS because they keep my feet sooo warm, and dry during the winter but i get so disgusted when i think about what they do to the sheep it makes me want to throw them away.
Why can't they just shave off the sheep fur and use that instead of using the skin and killing the sheep in the process too?

I've been wearing ugg-type shoes from any other store, if they were compassionate, man-made materials, of course.
Vegan shoes are chic! Get hip, uggs ! Make us vegan uggs ! Stop your cruelty shoes!

If UGG Australia came out with a vegan option (like Birkenstock did) they would the see demand out there and would relalize that not using real sheepskin makes good business (not to mention ethical and environmental) sense! Do it UGG!

I've tried vegan boots similar to UGGs, but no one gets them quite right. I've wanted a pair of UGGs for years, but refuse to buy them until a vegan option is made available. You're our only hope, UGG Australia! Please make our fashion dream a reality.

Please stop hurting sheep in the name of fashion. There must be a humane way to do this. I like your UGG style, but not what they stand for, and will never buy knowing helpless animals are getting hurt.

im a vegan and i want uggs so bad...i would buy the real ones, but i dont approve of taking sheeps fur... it is theirs and we have our own skin...until uggs are made vegan friendly, i will continue searching for vegan uggs.
