The human race is cruel: Angora wool is made by ripping the fur out of live rabbits. A recent investigation by animal rights group PETA found that standards and conditions, as well as the means for producing Chinese angora wool—where 90 percent of angora is made—is cruel to animals. Now Inditex, the biggest fashion retailer in the world and owner of clothing company Zara, has said they will stop selling all garments made from angora immediately, citing PETA’s findings. Retailers Marks and Spencer and H&M have also agreed to stop selling products made from rabbit fur. And you just shouldn’t buy an angora wool sweater anymore.
