It's been cold and snowy in Lakewood. A lot of snow in the last couple of days.
I decided to make a quick video. Although I would have loved to do it in front of a fur store, my chances of getting arrested were a lot less by doing it in my backyard.
I wanted to remind people that they do not need down or fur to be warm.
Animals who are part of the fur and down industries, well they are tortured, beaten, go through intense pain, and live in fear.
My winter jacket is down-free. I got it from Patagonia. They also sell down jackets but have some awesome non-down versions.
Like I say in the video, if you love even just one kind of animal, you do not want to buy down or fur. You just don't want to be a part of that!
I hope you like the video. It's my first.
