The Issue

Wangwang was tortured for over an hour before she was set on fire. She had the chance to run and save herself from the horror being inflicted on her — but her puppies were being killed in front of her, and she refused to leave them. Even after being burned and mutilated, she used her final strength to drag her body to her dead puppy for one last kiss goodbye. This is the cruelty that took Wangwang's life, and it is why the world is now demanding justice. Read the full story here.

We are calling on Lululemon to cut ties with 廣東瑞源科技股份有限公司 (Guangdong Ruiyuan Technology Co., Ltd.), a supplier based in Jieyang, China, and to publicly commit to removing Jieyang from its supply chain.

Jieyang (揭阳) is not simply the place where this tragedy happened. Local authorities have actively shielded those responsible for what happened to Wangwang, while cracking down on the people demanding justice. They have gone so far as to claim that the movement for Wangwang was "instigated by foreign spies." Jieyang is also a region notorious for its dog meat trade — making this government response an especially serious issue for animal advocates everywhere.

As consumers and Canadians, we believe companies have a responsibility to consider not just labor and environmental standards in their supply chains, but also the broader human rights and animal welfare record of the regions they do business in. By continuing to source from Jieyang, Lululemon risks lending economic legitimacy to a local government that is actively suppressing those seeking justice.

We are asking Lululemon to:

  • Suspend and ultimately terminate sourcing from Jieyang 
  • Issue a public statement affirming that Lululemon's supply chain decisions will reflect these human rights and animal welfare concerns.

Silencing individual voices is easy for a local government. Silencing the collective pressure of international consumers and the brands they support is not. We urge Lululemon — a company that markets itself on values of wellbeing and integrity — to act accordingly.

Please sign and share this petition to show Lululemon that Canadians are watching, and that we expect better.

旺旺被折磨了一個多小時後被活活燒死。她本有機會逃跑,避開正在對她施加的恐怖,但她的幼崽正在她面前被殺害,她拒絕離開牠們。即使身體已被燒傷、殘缺不全,她仍用盡最後的力氣,拖著自己的身體爬到已經死去的幼崽身旁,獻上最後一個吻。這就是奪走旺旺生命的殘忍暴行,也是為什麼全世界如今都在要求正義。點擊這裡閱讀完整報導。

我們呼籲Lululemon終止與 廣東瑞源科技股份有限公司 的合作關係——該公司是一家位於中國揭陽的供應商,並公開承諾將揭陽從其供應鏈中徹底移除。

揭陽,並不僅僅是這場悲劇發生的地點。當地政府積極包庇對旺旺所遭遇之事負有責任的人,同時打壓那些要求伸張正義的人們。他們甚至聲稱,為旺旺發起的行動是「由外國間諜煽動的」。此外,揭陽也是因狗肉交易而臭名昭著的地區——這使得當地政府的這種應對方式,對全世界的動物保護倡導者而言,成為一個尤其嚴重的問題。

作為消費者和加拿大公民,我們認為企業不僅應考慮其供應鏈中的勞工與環境標準,也應關注其經營所在地區更廣泛的人權與動物福利狀況。若Lululemon繼續從揭陽採購,就有可能在經濟上為一個正在積極壓制正義訴求者的地方政府提供正當性。

我們呼籲Lululemon:

  • 暫停並最終終止從揭陽採購
  • 發表公開聲明,確認其供應鏈決策將充分考慮上述人權與動物福利問題

對於地方政府而言,壓制個別聲音並不困難。但要壓制來自國際消費者及其所支持品牌的集體壓力,卻並非易事。我們敦促露露檸檬——一家一向以健康福祉與誠信價值觀作為品牌形象的公司——採取相應行動。

請簽署並分享這份請願書,讓Lululemon知道,加拿大人正在關注,我們期待他們做得更好。
