Delia's clothing company used to be one of several retailers that sold Ringling Bros. T-shirts.

I say "used to be" because today, the company's CEO contacted us to say that Delia's will be pulling the shirts from its Web site, its stores, and its October catalog by this Friday, September 11.

Thanks to the countless concerned people who took the time to write and call the company to ask it to stop promoting Ringling's cruel treatment of animals.

We hope that you'll take a second to write to Delia's and thank it for making the compassionate decision.

I never heard of Delia's before this boycott. Since they have acted responsibly I will be ordering from their website to repay in kind.

For the elephants!

This is so awesome! Thanks to PETA's hard work and the efforts of all that wrote to Delia's.

Thanks to Delia's for doing the right thing, not only for the animals, but also for your reputation and company culture.

Cheers for the animals!

I am amazed at how many loving, caring and compassionate people are out there willing to be the voices for all the innocent, amazing animals of the world!! Thank you PETA and thank you Delia's!

Posted by: Kelly Fox | September 11, 2009 11:26 PM

That is awesome!

Business and the almighty dollar does not have to be the God of this world. It is so good to take protection of the vulerable and defenseless
(animals)to heart. Money can be made in so many ways. Animal cruelty and death does not have to be one of them.
