HONG KONG: Animal rights group PETA urged shoppers Wednesday to boycott products made from angora rabbit fur, after it released footage of fur being plucked from the skins of live rabbits on Chinese farms.
Another part of the video shows the rabbits pink-skinned after having their downy fur pulled off.
"PETA is appealing to shoppers in the lead-up to Christmas and Chinese New Year. Please take the time to read the label on that sweater or scarf," said PETA Asia vice president Jason Baker in a statement.
