Urge IKEA to Stop Selling Animal Skin

Each sofa, seat, or cushion made from leather is a direct result of animal abuse. For furniture sold by IKEA, workers slit cows’ throats and peel off their skin. The international furniture company claims to be committed to tackling the climate catastrophe, yet it continues to sell leather – the most environmentally damaging material on the market. Please join us in calling on IKEA to stop selling leather.

Cows are intelligent, sensitive animals who feel pain and fear, just like we do, but in the leather industry, they’re burned, electroshocked, beaten, and slaughtered. Cows and other animals who are killed for their skin endure the horrors of factory farming: extreme crowding and deprivation as well as castration, branding, and tail-docking – all without any painkillers.

Leather is no friend to the environment. Animal agriculture and its methane- and nitrous oxide–inducing co-products, including leather, are leading contributors to the climate catastrophe.

A growing number of forward-thinking companies now use vegan materials to create cruelty-free furniture. In the past, IKEA has made positive changes by expanding the plant-based options on its menus around the globe. Join PETA in asking it to now make another compassionate choice by ditching leather.

Dear {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

I am disappointed that IKEA sells leather. Each sofa, seat, or cushion made from leather is a direct result of animal abuse. Workers slit cows’ throats and peel off their skin for furniture.

IKEA claims to care about tackling the climate catastrophe and inequality, yet it continues to use leather – the most environmentally damaging material on the market.

One of the most effective ways to reduce your company’s environmental impact would be to stop selling animal-derived leather and instead offer only eco-friendly vegan materials. For example, cow leather has nearly 10 times the negative environmental impact of the plant-based leather Piñatex.

By switching to ethical vegan materials, IKEA can reduce its carbon footprint and spare living, feeling beings.

The millions of cows, goats, and sheep who are bred and killed every year leather industry profits will continue to suffer as long as businesses like yours use their skin.

Please use your influence to help end the sale of leather at IKEA.

Sincerely,
