Welcome to the About Us page
This is one of those pages on a website where we talk a bit about us and the principles that have guided us as we set up Animal Tails - it's our soapbox moment!

At Animal Tails we value people and their potential. Therefore the founding principle of Animal Tails was to trade ethically to protect lives and improve livelihoods.
We are so pleased that we are able to present to you a collection that we can say without doubt was produced ethically, made from organic cotton, and since September 2011 all are designs made from Fairtrade certified cotton.

At Animal Tails we would not be valuing people properly if we did not care about the environment we all live in. It was therefore an obvious choice for us to use organic cotton.
In exploring the benefits of organic cotton we where staggered to learn of all the absolutely horrendous chemicals, a number of which are known carcinogens (cause cancer) that go on non-organic cotton.
We were even more shocked to learn that the production of non-organic cotton absorbs 25% of the worlds usage of pesticides and insecticides, for a crop that accounts for only 2.5% ( yes that is right, two point five percent ... we had to read it several times too) of world crops! That is a lot of deadly chemicals to say the least...
With organic cotton you will encounter none of these nasties - all you have is beautiful, pure, wonderfully soft cotton - and the knowledge that no one was exposed to poisonous chemicals in their cotton field or during its production

We have worked hard to make our supply chain as good as it can be. We pay a premium price for our organic cotton, and by using GOTS certified organic cotton and Fairtrade certified cotton, assures you that we are paying workers properly and that their rights are respected.
We are trading as we should from the field to you. That is why we say, have fun, enjoy wearing your beautiful organic, ethically manufactured, and fantastically designed Fairtrade cotton T-shirt.
It's fair to people, animals and the environment.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, its loveliness increases, it will never pass into nothingness...." So goes the famous poem by John Keats. Yet the tragedy of our times is that there is an accelerating loss of many of our World's most wonderful and beautiful species, through loss of their habitat from human development and climate change.
It would seem if we don't do something quickly many beautiful things will pass into nothingness. Ours and future generations will be poorer for the loss of so much of the beauty and diversity the animal kingdom offers us.
Buying a beautiful Animal Tails T-shirt means you're directly helping to preserve these things of beauty as we are working with the WWF and other environmental organisations to contribute to the protection of these precious species.
