I don't know if this has already been discussed here, I only heard about it today.
PETA secretly filmed at several angora producers in China & revealed the horrendous
cruel and painful way the fur is taken from the rabbits,(I wont go into graphic detail
here) UK producers would clip & comb the hair out which is why it was expensive,
cheap Chinese imports have taken over, but at a terrible cost to the poor animals.
Several large stores here have now stopped selling angora products until their suppliers
have been inspected and shown to be ethical.
