Leather Is Someone’s Skin – Why PETA Protested Coach
PETA supporters reminded Coach that “leather is someone’s skin” at its Regent Street store with a gruesome display.
Humans and cows are the same in all the ways that matter – as highlighted by the demonstration, which involved an activist having their throat slit before being “skinned”.
Every leather bag is stitched with the misery of a thinking, feeling being who died in agony.

A PETA exposé of the world’s largest leather processor – which has been linked to Coach – showed that workers brand calves on the face, beat cows and bulls, and shock them with electric prods.
