Save the bunnies:

A news article that I actually saw on Twitter caught my attention last week, it was about the use of angora fur in high street shops.

Link to article

The article touched on the recent use of angora fur in shops such as Topshop and H&M.

In order to get the fur needed for some of their products innocent Angora rabbits were shed of their fur in horrible, unsanitary farms in China. Recent video footage showed the rabbits squealing in pain as their fur was sheared from their body.
Since the videos emerged popular shop, H&M have taken all angora products off the shelves but Topshop have not. Personally I think it is ridiculous that Topshop haven't followed suit and even now have many angora products still for sale!


It has changed my opinion on Topshop hugely and I will not be going back there for a while unless this problem gets sorted!
