most likely the shot was taken separately and then craftily edited together. it probably took hours, but those animals are so well fed, they are treated better than most humans.

Apparently “many, many, many years = 2 years :

That aside, it’s true that Gap has made major strides in identifying and eliminating internal sweatshops. They come across them and sever ties, which IS way better than so many other companies. Big retailers use them without the spotlight on it as much (Wal-Mart I’m looking at you)…

Kudos on the no fur, sorry if my greenwashing sensor is set on high from so much BS in that arena…

Thanks for the fact-checking herwin, but that doesn’t invalidate what I’m saying. I meant it more as a idea, not literally saying that the pictured animals came from that specific ex-forest– that would have been stupid, even for me…

Love Stella, but sadly, not entirely cruelty free as she uses cashmere in the line.

most “third world” countries that are doing much busines with other countries are rather very stable and have a healthy growing economy.

The Gap does has not used sweat shop labor for many, many years. Find me a company that never did. The Gap does not use fur and carries plenty of clothes suitable for vegans, so please leave them alone.

Yes, they are both eurasian government trolls in high profile social engineering positions that will undoubtedly receive what’s been coming to them for the duration of their lives, and probably by American hands.

Then those two “domestic rabbits” miss their homes, boatshit troll “herwin”. The next thing you’ll say is you went to a brangelino movie and listen to the beetles. Boatshit.

Stella McCartney should have thought twice about partnering with the Gap; Yes the Gap Corporation had investments in Collins Pine a Logging Company.
Yes the Gap is well known for its Sweatshop use; What actually defines a sweatshop is vague; but we know that some American Factories can be more humane and sustainable. Some in America and worldwide can be quite the opposite. The Gap produces their clothing overseas; in many different countries as all larger Clothing companies do to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket as they are working with Factories in Unstable third world Countries for the most part

I personally find the Gap boring Overpriced and Unoriginal!
