However, an animal protection organization recently released a video showing that Chinese rabbit hair production enterprises seized rabbit hair from rabbits in a very cruel way. After the video was disclosed, the English Garment Company, including Topshop, decided to stop importing clothing containing Angola rabbit hair from China.

Broadcasting British Corporation (BBC) reported that during the process of extracting rabbit hair, Chinese workers directly pulled out the fur from the rabbit's body, and the rabbit wailed sadly in the process of pulling out the hair.

After video disclosure, online clothing Retailer ASOS announced that it would permanently stop importing garments from Angola containing rabbit hair. Not only that, but ASOS also removed clothing containing rabbit hair from its website.

It is understood that PETA Asia has recently made an unannounced visit to Angola rabbit farm in villages like Shandong and Jiangsu, and photographed workers who pulled down the rabbit hair. The scene was very cruel. The pictures showed that the workers pulled their hair roughly and their hair pulled down from the rabbit's skin. The rabbit howled bitterly and was then thrown back into the cage. These rabbits suffer from such torture every 3 months. If the rabbits are alive in two to five years, they will be cut throat and sell meat.

Xiaobian has learned that a campaign called "conscience consumption" has sprang up in western countries, which means that people only buy products that are produced according to the "conscience law". In the process of producing "conscientious products", they should put an end to polluting the environment, giving humane care to workers and not cruelty to animals.

This fact is worth learning from Chinese exporters. We know that products can not be accepted by European companies in conformity with their quality. We must also follow the principles and policies pursued by buyers in the production process.
