Where Things Stand With Angora

Two white rabbitsUpdate! 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.

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!

And these are just the brands that are based in, or have a strong presence in the UK. Globally, more than 450 companies have banned angora so far.
