Tell Tiffany & Co: Stop Using Exotic Skins

Tell Tiffany & Co: Stop Using Exotic Skins

The Issue

Tiffany & Co. continues to use exotic skins in the designs of Tiffany leather goods, even though the exotic skin trade is outrageously cruel. 

Undercover videos have revealed snakes skinned alive and crocodiles bludgeoned to death with hammers. Clifford Warwick, a wildlife biologist who has studied the exotic skin trade, says this type of cruelty isn't out of the ordinary. Reptiles are often skinned alive, and because they are cold-blooded animals, it can take hours for the animals to die after their skin has been removed. 

Tiffany & Co. prides itself on a comprehensive environmental policy, stating that sustainability is their "most important design." Tiffany & Co. should extend its conservation policy to reptiles. 

Sign the petition urging Tiffany & Co. to stop using exotic skins.
