PETA says it will meet with fashion executive who restrained protesters
A prominent animal rights group says it plans to meet with a top fashion trade executive who was filmed restraining two protesters at a New York runway show. Moira Colley of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the group will meet with Steven Kolb, CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. The plan is to discuss ending the use of wool and animal skins in fashion. Kolb has apologized for his actions and is taking a leave from his job.
PETA initially planned to file a police report but decided on a meeting instead. The group says it hopes to reach an understanding that benefits animals.
