Eis a resposta da inditex com relação a venda de peles. Mandei uma solicitação para que cumprissem a palavra conforme a nossa lição de casa do mês de novembro.
Nesta resposta eles afirmam que conforme politica adotada em 2004 a Inditex não vende vestuários ou qualquer outro produto com peles.
Os produtos de couro que são vendidos pela Zara vêm como sub produto de animais criados em fazendas dedicadas a produção de alimentos (são peles de cordeiros, bovinos e suinos).
São muito gentis e se põem a disposição para qualquer outro esclarecimento.
O negócio é que somos também contra o comércio de carnes. A indústria da alimentação humana usa de crueldade em larga escala e os vídeos de matadouros que vi me tornaram vegetariana imediatamente. Desde então tive uma grande melhora em minha saúde com resultados de laboratorio que lembram minha juventude. A carne é comprovadamente extremamente prejudicial à saúde humana conforme já sabemos.
Há um longo caminho a percorrer até a substituição total do couro por materiais síntéticos e ainda espero que um dia isto aconteça.
Vou responder à Inditex e à Zara e tentar explicar-lhes o que são estes matadouros e o mal que resulta de seu consumo.
bjos,
Clarice

Dear Clarice,
Thank you for your kind letter in which you request Inditex’s policy about fur. With this regard please let us to confirm you that, as established in our corporate policy since 2004, Inditex sells neither garments nor other products containing fur. Furthermore, the origin of leather used by Zara comes exclusively from animals raised on farms dedicated to the production of food for human consumption (lambs, goats, bovine and pigs).
We hope this clarification will be helpful for you. Please visit this policy and others regarding our Corporate Social Responsibility management in our site www.inditex.com. If you need further information, do not please hesitate in contacting us again. In any case, please let us thank you for your comments which allow us to improve in our service and products.

Dear Madams and Sirs,
As a Brasilian consumer who frequently visits your various stores in Portugal, I
am appalled to know that this group and its stores are selling real fur – namely of
rabbits, after the commitment made with the several animal rights groups all over
Europe, back in 2004. As you might be aware of millions of fur-bearing animals –
including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria,
beavers, muskrats, otters, and others – are killed each year on fur farms by anal
and vaginal electrocution, concussion and gassing, and in the wild by drowning,
trapping, or beating. It is perfectly possible to sell only synthetic materials –
namely faux fur – and, by this, to provide the market with comfortable, elegant
and fashionable clothing.
Please, stop selling real fur, and that way, join the compassionate group of “fur
free retailers”. In the meanwhile, and due to my ethical principles, I will stop
buying in your stores and advise all my friends and acquaintances to do the same.
I am aware that Inditex has relevant concerns towards environmental
sustainability issues, and that is also why I trust you will give the best attention to
this plea of mine.
Yours respectfully,
Clarice Cópia
