Her mother would be so proud of her.

[@saloshayo]

She’s fantastic!!! Honestly a role model and a visionary. Love you Stella!

[@DoctorRevers]

Now there’s a good example of what humans are capable of. Huge appreciation.

[@adamdruett9107]

To hear the head of a fashion company say “it’s better to not buy anything in the first place” is good to hear that.

[@JnTmarie]

Bravo Stella!!!! Thank goodness I feel hope with you there. Greed, power and insensitivity in fashion dominates.

[@JnTmarie]

Bravo. Plant based news!!! Great interview!!!

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

thank you for supporting :)

[@HeyderrKitty]

Love love love, thank God we have people who care enough to devote there lives to the rights of animals, & working towards a healthier planet, such an inspiring and important message 👏

[@Kiyarose3999]

How is commodifying an animal for fashion be equal to ‘’animal rights’’, apart from the use of sheep she is promoting what is called ‘regenerative’ animal ag, which is greenwash. As it creates incomplete ecosystems without any natural predators, each sheep is at least 1 less wild animal, during a 6th mass extinction obviously this cannot be justified! 🌻🌎✊🏽

Well done Stella 🌱💟☮️👉💯

I cannot thank these people enough for what they are doing.

This interview brought tears to my eyes. It's just wonderful that there are business people like Ms. McCartney who consider animal rights. I never stopped to think about the amount of animal suffering that goes into the fashion industry. I remember the rise and fall of The Body Shop which addressed animal cruelty in the cosmetics industry. I wish Ms. McCartney all the success in the world. Kudos to Klaus and PBN for a great interview. Oh, I want to crow a bit: I recently went vegan thanks to PBN and Ed Winter's videos. I went to the doctor today to refill my high blood pressure medicine and he had my blood analyzed. Compared to my last analysis in June, my LDL cholesterol is down from 134 to 102. My kidney function indicator eGFR is up from 52 to 67, and my blood sugar is down from 135 to 90. What a turnaround! You should have seen the look on the Doctor's face when I told him I had gone vegan!

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

oh wow! We love to hear this and that you are seeing such positive results. Congrats! We would have loved to see the Doc's face too :)

[@architechofreality]

The McCartney’s are such lovely people. I grew up with The Beatles, yes - Paul was and remains my fav!, and am so happy that Stella has become, essentially, The Beatles of the fashion world. I became a vegetarian in the early 1970’s and went vegan over a decade ago. I struggle sometimes to keep my cool when people talk rubbish about eating/wearing, exploiting animals but I have taken on a more diplomatic approach of late and it does tend to work better!

[@nooooobingo]

More fashion coverage please 🙏 So hard to find vegan non-plastic clothing

[@clivesmith9377]

I don't think most Fashion Designers care about the Environment and Animals. They use leather and fur without thinking first. More Plant-Based products in competitive prices should be easily available.

[@robsengahay5614]

It is so interesting to hear Stella has to constantly walk on eggshells when broaching the topic of animal agriculture and how it relates to the fashion industry and our environment. The sad thing is that being entirely plant-based still makes someone an outlier in the environment movement let alone amongst the wider public.

[@poppyred7865]

Isn’t she vegetarian and not vegan? Just curious as I cannot find anything to say she is now vegan. Most vegetarian’s don’t consider the dairy industry is responsible of a large chunk of AG which is causing damage to the environment we live in and is also a terribly cruel, oppressive business which causes immense suffering to other beings and that this industry is closely linked to the beef industry.

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

We aren't sure but agree with you that the dairy industry is basically the meat industry as the animals end up in the same slaughter house :(

[@kentroskelley1389]

Very impressed Gentle Friendly Persuasion used to allow people to listen without feeling criticized.

[@cleonawallace376]

I think it's really great to hear someone speaking up about the impacts of the fashion industry. Personally I would argue that we need to entirely rethink our approach to fashion itself, and why it needs to be changed so often... I would prefer long lasting clothes that we can modify/style/accessorise. I also totally agree that it's very disappointing that the people involved in the COP and UN system are not pushing meat free enough. The issue (as we also see with Palestine) is that the UN is too powerless. It's not that people don't want to speak up against meat, but then they fear losing their funding from meat exporting nations, especially the US. What we need is a system where the UN collects money from countries like tax, and then they are free to say what they want and what's best for the planet. Then I think we would see much more outspoken opinions.

[@TheEnchantedDuat]

Shes a legend, from a thankful Vegan. Im a Horticulturist living in regional Victoria now studying app Animal Sciences/Ornithology to provide natural medicine to the Avian and Equine critters which we are short on. I did Permaculture at 2 Unis before Hort and although I use some principles I find the use of animals as stuff/resource off putting and saddening. I have pet ducks and chooks who are my babies but they do help me regenerate and build much needed soil and ducks live to just muzzle through the dirt al day when theyre outside. I want to get on an acreage rental which is hard down here with rental shortage etc but I still aim for more critters and to produce herbs/cut flowers although Im on my own/no help and disabled/its still my aim. I have no issue with Ag aS LONG AS ITS FAMILY OWNED/SMALL AND THE CRITTERS ARE ACTUALLY LOVED/CARED FOR, NOT EATEN OR USED. It would be nice to put together some sort of network of garn suppliers on the small scale who are ethical to their wooly critters so we could work with and support... Anyway my 2cents and thoughts. Thankyou x raven

[@lextressa]

This interview with beautiful message was kind of ruined for me because of the inclusion of regenerative wool. It makes Stella's message inconsistent, how can you make sure that every act of taking something from animals is "kind"?

[@PLANTBASEDNEWS]

It's a good question and perspective.

[@VirginiaFeuRosa]

I had no idea that leather wasn't a byproduct of the meat industry and I've been vegan for over 5 years...

[@BlueGardenCottage]

Great work and essential. But you know what?… this is too far away from high street shops and affordability for people who have to choose between feeding their families or ethical clothing. Everything ethical and eco, come with ‘designer’ or niche price tags only available to those with ‘disposable’ income.

[@weirdunclebob]

Why did Stella McCartney sell 10% of her business to LVMH, one of the worst luxury brands around including for use of fur and 'exotic' animal skins and animal testing? Apparently she said it was to increase the reach of her business but that sounds weak to me. Not impressed.

[@pschmeykal]

Would love to buy her fashion but I cannot afford 200 or 300 Euros for a t-shirt. I know, there are other options, but it would be nice if those who do a good job would do a good job for everyone.

[@Kiyarose3999]

‘’regenerative wools’’ from supposed ‘regenerative’ animal ag, using Sheep as a commodity, but then her dad Paul Mc Cartney enjoys Sheep sheering, shame on Stella and her dad! No more excuses, Go Vegan. Is it justifiable to use wool( Sheep) to have a fashion item of clothing, of course not, just as sensory pleasure is no excuse to eat animals!
