When I was feeding hay I would wear out 3 or 4 pair a year and nothing
else would last a month.

I really hate them giving money to PETA but as long as they buy cotton
from Plains Co Op I won't bite the hand that feeds me.

You could always find out how much they donate per pair, and double that
amount to an appropriate group. Following that up with a letter to
Levi's telling them that wouldn't hurt.

Not to say folks shouldn't follow the above advice (as a rule americans
could stand to be a lot more charitable), but something that seems to be
lost in the mix is that it was an employee who donated to PETA and Levi
Strauss matched the employees donation through a fairly standard matching
contribution plan. It doesn't appear that Levi's actually decided to
donate money to PETA of their own volition.
