Revolve is a leading online fashion retailer with a huge following on social media. Yet despite its engagement with beauty influencers, Revolve continues to profit from some of the darkest and most horrific practices committed by the fashion world.
Every year the fur industry is responsible for the death of 1 billion rabbits and 50 million other animals - including foxes, minks, dogs, cats, racoons, chinchillas, seals and many more. Most of these animals are raised in fur farms, intensive facilities where the animals are kept in tiny cages and confined to a life of misery. These farms can hold thousands of animals and are designed to specifically maximise profits. These animals go insane performing psychotic repetitive behaviours such as circling endlessly in their cage as well as cannibalism and self-mutilation.
The most common methods of killing animals in fur farms is anal electrocution, gassing, poisoning or stomping on the animals and breaking their necks. These are all done to try and preserve the quality of the fur.
Leading fashion retailer Net a Porter went fur-free in 2017. Big fashion labels like Armani, Stella McCartney, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, The Kooples, Michael Kors, Gucci, Versace and many more have denounced fur, yet sites like Revolve continue to provide a large platform for fur internationally. This has to stop.
