Supermodel Kate Upton confronted a group of protesters, animal rights activists.
?Happy Day of Goodness! It is very important to be kind to the world around you, not just today, but every day. I'm proud to partner with Canada Goose to help raise awareness of a better future for polar bears, ?Kate wrote on Instagram in mid-November.
Yesterday, Kate was running one of her fitness courses, Strong4Me, in New York, when a group of protesters came inside furious. Someone was shouting: "Ulcers have been hit in the head to death!"
Animal rights activists protest the promotion the supermodel is doing to Canada Goose, a winter clothing company that uses fur and fur of fur. "Kate Upton, animal abuser," read one of the slogans. "Shame on you, killer," the cautist shouts.
In 2010, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, an American organization defending animal rights (PETA), sharply criticized Canadian politician Justin Trudeau and his family for wearing Canada Goose products.
"Ulcers are killed for making jackets," PETA wrote.
In November 2017, the organization released a covert video where workers gather terrified geese, riding each other to the rescue. The geese were placed in cages so small that it was impossible for the wings to move.
The company has denied the allegations, pointing out that the videos were not made at their collection point and other poultry and animals are treated well.
