Hermès does not have a stated position on animal rights, but the company has been criticized for using fur in its products. Fur is often obtained through cruel and inhumane trapping methods, and animals can suffer for hours or days before they are killed. Hermès has not responded to these criticisms, and it appears that the company does not consider the welfare of animals in its manufacturing process. This makes Hermès a poor choice for consumers who care about animal rights.
