UGGAustralia used to have a list of authorised stockists on their website, not sure if it's still there.

You shouldn't really buy uggs. It's as bad as wearing a fur coat.

And as bad as:
leather shoes
Or leather jackets
Or leather handbags, purses, wallets and briefcases
Or leather suites

I'm sure you don't buy/wear any of the above.

And don't eat anything with a face.

ETA:
The peta website even tells people not to wear wool!

From the huffington post
Animals killed in Peta shelters
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nathan-j-winograd/peta-kills-puppies-kittens_b_2979220.html

"Department of Agriculture

According to inspection reports by the Virginia Department of Agriculture, the PETA facility “does not contain sufficient animal enclosures to routinely house the number of animals annually reported as taken into custody... The shelter is not accessible to the public, promoted, or engaged in efforts to facilitate the adoption of animals taken into custody.”

Routine inspections often found “no animals to be housed in the facility” or, at best “few animals in custody,” despite thousands of them impounded by PETA annually. Since they take in thousands per year, where were they? “90% [of the animals] were euthanized within the first 24 hours of custody,” according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture inspector. How can people adopt animals from PETA when they kill the animals they acquire within minutes without ever making them available for adoption? How can people adopt animals when they have no adoption hours, do no adoption promotion, and do not show animals for adoption, choosing to kill them without doing so? In fact, when asked by a reporter what efforts they make to find animals homes, PETA had no comment."

Jeez, hollydays, that link is shocking!
And they think it's appropriate to tell people not to wear wool? :eek:

I remember their iconic poster that said something like "it takes about 40 dumb animals to make a fur coat but only one to wear it".

You don't need to kill animals for the latest fashion. If you're happy for sheep to be killed to keep your feet warm then that is obviously your choice. It however won't be too long before wearing uggs is as sociable unacceptable as wearing a fur coat.
