Badgers Held in Cramped Cages, Beaten, and Killed for Their Hair – Take Action Now!

PETA Asia's horrifying investigation into China's badger-brush industry revealed that badgers on farms are locked inside small, filthy cages, in which they're deprived of the opportunity to dig, care for their young, forage for food, or do anything else that would make their lives worth living.

After PETA and our affiliates shared the video footage, Procter & Gamble's The Art of Shaving, Penhaligon's, Cult Beauty, Floris London, Morphe, NARS, and many more companies made the compassionate decision to ban badger hair. We need your help to urge companies still profiting from the industry to drop badger-hair brushes immediately.

PETA Asia's investigation shows that badgers, who are highly social animals, pace back and forth and circle endlessly inside the cramped cages in a desperate attempt to escape their physical and psychological anguish. Many of them go insane in these conditions. Footage shows an abattoir worker bashing badgers in the head with a chair leg, and one animal was still moving for a full minute after his throat was cut. There's no acceptable reason to use brushes that contain animal hair, whether for make-up, grooming, or painting – especially when there are so many high-performing vegan bristles available.

Dear {user_data~Organisation},

As a compassionate consumer, I urge you to drop badger-hair brushes immediately in favour of animal-friendly synthetic options. PETA Asia's investigation into the badger-hair industry for make-up, shaving, and paint brushes revealed hellish living conditions, including the imprisonment of badgers in cramped wire cages.

The animals kept in confinement often suffered from captivity-induced psychosis and gaping, untreated wounds. One was missing a leg. At the abattoir, a worker beat crying badgers over the head with a chair leg and then slit their throats – one was still convulsing after his throat was cut.

After PETA and our affiliates shared the video footage with Procter & Gamble – which owns The Art of Shaving – Morphe, NARS, Penhaligon's, Cult Beauty, Floris London, and several others, these companies made the compassionate decision to ban badger-hair brushes. Given that synthetic options don't harm animals and are high-performing, I urge you to drop badger-hair brushes immediately.

Please, think of inquisitive badgers – who, like all animals, feel pain and fear – and stop selling badger-hair brushes today. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
