Stop the importation of Angora fur into the UK that has been sourced in an inhumane way.

The Issue

As many will have seen, the footage filmed secretly by PETA was horrific. Angora rabbits are tied down and violently plucked as they scream and endure unbearable pain and suffering. This happens every 3 months until they are around 4 years old when their throats are slit. All this for profit, and no consideration for animal welfare. There are alternative humane methods of sourcing the fur.

 

There are some farms that produce the fur in a humane way, but I am petitioning to stop the import of fur produced cruelly. I want to eliminate the suffering of these rabbits completely!
