"P" yesterday, in view of the Chinese animal husbandry association "Angola rabbit live pulling rabbit hair" is only a few phenomena, the Asian animal organization issued a statement that Angola rabbit hair is not a "case".

Reporter investigation found that the rabbit hair in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places still exist, and some farms are still promoting the technology.

< p > < strong > Industry Association: "guidance for hair removal" is an examination of negligence < /strong > < /p >

< p > recently, the PETA Asia released a video of 3 minutes and 48 seconds on the Internet. It shows that in the Angola rabbit farm in China, workers used hair removal in vivo to collect rabbit hair.

Since then, a number of well-known overseas brands a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing "/a" brand said it would stop producing Angola rabbit hair products, while some domestic Angola rabbit farmers said that sales of rabbit hair were therefore reduced.

< /p >

On the day before yesterday, the rabbit Association of China Animal Husbandry Association said that after investigating the main breeding areas in Shandong, Zhejiang and other places in the main breeding area of the national long hair rabbit, the association found that the so-called wool picking method on the Internet propaganda is only the most extreme misconduct of individual breeding farmers, and it is not representative.

< /p >

< p > for the Chinese Animal Husbandry Association's statement, the Asian PETA issued a statement yesterday that the Angola rabbit's hair was not a "case".

< /p >

P, PETA Asia spokeswoman Wen Wen said that pulling rabbit hair alive is the practice advocated by the Chinese animal husbandry association itself.

"In a August 12, 2012 article" measures to improve the wool yield of wool rabbit ", the association instruct farmers to completely remove the hair of the rabbit except the hair of the head, tail and feet.

Wen Wen pointed out that a local media in Sichuan has also pointed out that "live pulling" is a method advocated and supported by the local government and the industry.

< /p >

Mr. P, Deputy Secretary General of the China Animal Husbandry Association rabbit branch, said that the concept of living rabbit hair has been very old, and this technology is basically eliminated.

"On the platform of our website, such an article should be the omission of webmasters in auditing, but this method has long been out of the mainstream."

< /p >

< p > < strong > part of the breeding farm popularized rabbit hair removal technology < /strong > < /p >.

< p > yesterday, the reporter telephoned a Angola rabbit farmer in Xiao Hai town of Dafeng City, Jiangsu province.

Mr. Pan introduced the company's original shipment volume of about one or two tons a month, generally sold to Wenzhou to make a shawl coat and other fur < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothes < /a >, a ton of wool 500 thousand.

"Now the proportion of hand drawn is small. If you buy it, you need to make a reservation."

Pan manager introduced.

< /p >

< p > reporter once again telephoned a farm in Xixi Township, Yongjia County, Wenzhou, Zhejiang. This farm has been appraised as the leading enterprise and demonstration base of cities and counties for many times, providing perennial rabbit and rabbit hair all the year round.

< /p >

< p > a person in charge of the company, Mr. Li, said that the rabbit that had been raised for more than ten years started to cut its hair. Now it is all directly plucked.

Mr. Li said that his farm is the largest in Yongjia County of Wenzhou, and the best technology for "living body plucking".

< /p >

< p > > on the website of the company, "how to make rabbit hair for long hair rabbit" mentioned in the article that every rabbit can stir up dexamethasone and other drugs through feed for 10 hours before pulling out the hair, which can reduce the pulling force needed when pulling hair and reduce the pain of rabbits.

< /p >

Mr. P, Deputy Secretary General of the rabbit branch of China Animal Husbandry Association, said before that the way of pulling wool would stimulate rabbit skin, and then the hair would be thicker and the purchase price would be higher.

< /p >

< p > "pull the wool can sell more than 200 yuan a Jin; cut 100 yuan a kilogram of hair is not necessarily bought," Mr. Li said, "do not pull hair do not make money."

< /p >

< p > < strong > > Secret > /strong > /p >

< p > visit ten farmers to pluck the hair video < /p >

< p > the video of Angola rabbit's hair pulling was completed by the PETA Asia investigators from June 2013 to the end of September, which lasted for more than 3 months.

According to investigators, they visited 10 farms in Shandong, Jining, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Dafeng and Xinghua.

< /p >

< p > these farms have the smallest size of hundreds of Angola rabbits, and the largest one has about 10 thousand.

< /p >

< p > "the investigation has taken several hours of video recording, but many of them are walls and ground. It is difficult to make sure that the camera can always aim at the things that you want to shoot," the investigator said. Finally, he reduced the trivial scenes and picked out some shots, which was the 3 minutes and 48 seconds of the video circulated online.

< /p >

< p > for the supply chain of Angola rabbit hair, the surveyor introduced that farmers usually sell to processing plants, processed wool to distributors (wholesalers), and then they are sold or sold overseas in China, so large retailers can not guarantee that their suppliers will not adopt the method of pulling rabbit hair alive.

He said.

< /p >

< p > the investigator did not see the rabbit die in the process of pulling out the hair, but he heard a farmer say that nearly 60% of the rabbits were killed in two to two years.

< /p >

< p > even if shaving and shearing, rabbits need to suffer.

The investigator said that during shaving and shearing, they tied the rabbit's front and back legs with a rope, stretched the rabbit's body on the board, and some even hung dangling.

When the rabbit struggles vigorously and struggles, it will also be injured by the sharp shaving and shearing tools.

< /p >

< p > < strong > dialogue < /strong > < /p >

< p > "not for any country, just for the protection of animals" < /p >

< p > reporter: How did you know that there was a phenomenon of rabbit hair pulling out in Angola? < /p >

< p > PETA Asia: I have not received any clues, nor have I thought of such a thing. Petal organizations often do some investigative work on animal welfare and animal rights, and go to the animal farms to see the survival conditions of animals. So we just want to see how the domestic Angola rabbits are cultured, and we are shocked to find the living rabbit hair.

< /p >

< p > reporter: is the video released after visiting ten farmers to "generalize"? < /p >

< p > PETA Asia: some people questioned whether it was just a few of the live women that we visited, but later we searched online and found that the local government or industry were promoting this technology of living hair removal.

Moreover, the price of wool is higher, and it grows thicker and more conducive to economic interests.

So farmers will maximize profits.

< /p >

It is very difficult to visit P and even more nationwide. Many farms can not get in and visit. It also requires a lot of money and a long time to visit.

< /p >

< p > reporter: some people say that you are letting big brands < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress < /a > boycott imported rabbit hair from China.

< /p >

< p > PETA Asia: our investigation is not directed against any country, for example, we have exposed fur farms in Europe, factory farms in the United States, and cat feces coffee farms in Indonesia.

What we care about is protecting animal rights and exposing all animal cruelty.

If an industry suffers from cruelty to animals, consumers who know the truth will naturally make wise decisions.

< /p >

< p > strong > many fashion brands resist the use of Angola rabbit hair < /strong > /p >

< p > announced that the brand of boycott Angola rabbit hair has been increasing.

Following Topshop, Esprit and IC Companys, Marks and Spencer, Asos and Next joined the H&M camp in Britain.

The reason is that the video released by the British organization for the good of animals (PETA) showed that a rabbit farm in China was able to pull out rabbit hair.

< /p >

< p > PETA disclosed that some farms in China used bloody methods to obtain Angola rabbit hair which is longer and better than normal shearing.

H&M said for the first time that the company only purchased rabbit hair from farms where regular inspections and animal welfare laws were observed.

But the clothing giant finally followed other Swedish brands Lindex, Gina Tricot and MQ to announce the boycott of Angola rabbit hair.

< /p >

"P > International, Topshop, Esprit and IC Companys, as well as Stella McCartney, Whistles and Calvin Klein and other brands have expressed the same attitude.

< /p >

P Gap did not respond to it and blamed it.

Zara's Facebook website has also been criticized by many consumers who refuse to comment.

< /p >

Less than P, nearly 90% of Angola's rabbit hair is produced in China.

China's < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_p.asp > Angola < /a > the number of rabbits is about 50 million.

One kilogram of Angola rabbit hair is valued at about 26 to 33 euros, while China's output exceeds 4000 tons.
