<\/p>\n Dakota Johnson<\/strong> has a new ad campaign with Gucci — where she’s rocking a ton of their gear, including animal skin handbags — and PETA isn’t happy about it … not at all.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n The actress just came out as an official ambassador for the luxury fashion brand, and appeared in a new commercial where she’s showing off a ton of their products — and, of course, there’s photoshoots galore where DJ is in all Gucci. So, she’s all in.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n The problem, according to PETA, is that a couple of these Gucci handbags Dakota’s advertising here are made with authentic reptile skins … specifically, python and crocodile. Gucci isn’t hiding it either, as its website touts the fact the hides are the real deal.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n That doesn’t sit right with the animal rights org — and it let Dakota know all about it in an informative, yet somewhat scathing, letter<\/strong> to each team.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n In the correspondence, obtained by TMZ, PETA takes issue with Gucci’s python and crocodile handbags — ranging from $3,100 to $31k — being so unabashedly flaunted by Dakota … which they say is odd, since she’s outspoken on a lot of social issues.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n They’re right, her IG is full of advocacy posts for everything from BLM to women’s rights and a lot more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n So, PETA’s asking if she cares about the animals that were slaughtered for the bags — and reminds her poachers and hunters go to extreme lengths to obtain the skins … including torturing and ripping them to pieces while still alive.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n PETA also mentions this tidbit … “The killing of these snakes is so cruel that in California, it would be illegal to buy the very goods you’re promoting, because their sale is banned.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n Gucci even acknowledges that fact on its web pages for a couple of these handbags.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bottom line … PETA is asking Dakota to strongly reconsider her association with Gucci and to denounce its use of exotic animal skins, especially with vegan alternatives available.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n We tried looking to see if Dakota has spoken out on animal rights issues, specifically, and it sounds like she considers it a righteous cause — seeing how her famous grandmother, Tippi Hedren<\/strong>was a huge advocate of animal protection … and DJ has spoken fondly of her work.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n We’ve reached out to Dakota’s reps for comment … so far, no word back.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dakota Johnson has a new ad campaign with Gucci — where she’s rocking a ton of their gear, including animal skin handbags — and PETA isn’t happy about it … not at all.
