  "account": "On September 13, protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) infiltrated the runway during COS' fashion show at New York Fashion Week. The incident occurred in downtown Manhattan while the H&M Group-owned brand presented its collection. According to reports, at least three PETA activists managed to enter the runway area, carrying placards and shouting objections to COS' use of sheep wool.\n\nThe protesters held signs that read, \"Sheep beaten and bloodied for wool, don't buy,\" and \"Sheep are killed! Please take sheep off the runway.\" The live stream of the show on COS' website captured the protesters walking down a portion of the runway while making their statements. Security personnel eventually removed the protesters from the runway as the disruption continued.\n\nPETA, an organization advocating for animal rights, had targeted COS for its utilization of sheep wool and expressed concerns about the treatment of animals within the wool industry.",
