Shoppers got more than they bargained for when they looked at these fashionable goods made from animal skin.Rather than find high-end luxury, they were greeted by blood and pulsating organs.The stunt was the work of animal rights group PETA in a bid to raise awareness to the suffering created by the trade in skins.
Hidden cameras show consumers recoiling in disgust as they open a crocodile skin bag – only to find the animals beating heart inside.A leather bag had a similar grizzly inside for unsuspecting shoppers.While those trying on gloves and boots were horrified to find themselves covered in fake blood.
In the video, a man unzips a leather jacket only to find the it is packed with muscle and sinew – and another beating heart.Every year, more than 1 billion animals are slaughtered in the global leather industry.While the exotic-skins industry claims the lives of millions of snakes, alligators, seals, zebras and other animals.
