It recently came to my attention, thanks to my facebook and twitter feed, that some companies in the fashion industry have been linked into animal cruelty. In particular, the angora rabbits. For those who are unaware, brands, such as Topshop, have been selling angora products created in China which were manufactured through abuse rabbits and literally tearing the fur off of the animals.

The company PETA secretly recorded Chinese workers as they pluck the poor animals while they scream in pain. How on earth can ANY human even do such a thing. Animals are living things too y'know, how would they like it if they had all of their hair plucked out while no one gave them any sympathy?! Outrageous.
Thinking about it, the amount of videos that have come out of China demonstrating animal and human abuse is so disturbing. How can these people lack such empathy in other beings is beyond me. Sick, totally sick.
What irritated me the most was that brands, such as Topshop, for whatever vile reason refused to stop selling these products. Erm, I'm sorry. Coming from the brand who has size 0 models in the window and already has a bad enough image, you want to bring animal cruelty into the works..? Anyone would think the company doesn't want to sell their products. However, due to a mass overload of outrage, Topshop were one of the latest companies to say no to the product, whereas, companies such as H&M were one of the first to stop these products being sold in their stores.
