For background, see A Look Inside the Angora Rabbit Fur Industry

Have you ever hear a rabbit scream?
After watching this video, you'll never buy angora again.

Update! We’re always hearing from supporters who are sickened by the cruelty of angora production – in which rabbits have the fur ripped from their skin or are tied up and roughly shorn – and who want to make sure that their favourite stores are angora-free.

So we thought we’d share where we’re up to in the campaign against this violently produced fabric.

As of December 2014, the following companies have told PETA or its international affiliates that they will not be using angora in future collections. It’s quite a list!
