Sydney designer Gail Elliot bows to PETA pressure
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Just weeks after Melbourne designer Alannah Hill was forced to drop the use of fur trimming in her collections following a PETA campaign and death threats to her son, Sydney designer Gail Elliot has also surrendered to the pressure group and ditched her signature fur vests.
The designer is the latest Aussie victim in PETA's war against everything and has long featured fur elements in her Boho style collections. Her Little Joe Label has attracted celebrity fans that include Elle Macpherson.
After months of intimidating Alannah Hill the lobby has now forced Elliot to drop her use of fur.
At the time of posting this site is unclear what tactics the lobby used to force the designer to acquiesce.
PETA had previously picketed Hill's Melbourne boutique and flooded the designer with thousands of intimidating emails.

Physical threats, hate mail, harassment, violating my human rights and death threats are all in a normal days work for PETA.
PETA uses violence to coerce others to follow their own perception of "moral"?
violent vegans do not make for a compassionate world.
All good. The more of this intimidation perpetrated against entrepreneurs the sooner the public get to understand what a nasty bunch of lettuce heads these people are.
Dare I say the public are beginning to awaken??
Fortunately you were spared PETA agitprop when Pammy was recently in town Karen :)
