Something you should know before you buy another angora sweater is that some countries pluck the fur from the rabbit while the rabbit is still alive. Please sign this petition if you would like to end this horrible practice.
The investigator filmed workers who were violently ripping the fur from the animals' sensitive skin as they screamed at the top of their lungs in pain. After this terrifying and barbaric ordeal, which the rabbits endure every three months, many of them appeared to go into shock, lying motionless inside their tiny, filthy cages, with no solid flooring or bedding, and without the vital companionship of other rabbits. After two to five years, those who have survived are hung upside down, their throats are slit, and their bodies are sold.
Please know that not ALL farmers hurt animals while producing angora fur, this petition is not against them but against the farmers who produce the fur in a way that animals are being hurt. We are not against ALL angora fur but only the fur that causes stress and pain to the rabbits.
