Petition Ban the sale of Angora rabbit fur products in the UK

More details

The unethical practice of removal of rabbit fur in China has recently been highlighted by People for the Unethical Treatment of Animals (PETA.) Their graphic evidence is featured on their website. The rabbits are kept in disgusting conditions and subjected to abuse that is beyond words.

In the UK, stores such as Tesco and Marks and Spencer are still sourcing products from overseas even though they claim not to 'knowingly' purchase materials gained by illegal practices.

If the importation of Angora were banned in the UK, it would help to curb these cruel and inhumane practices.
