Cruzime nejustificată în Africa de Sud. Struți jumuliți de vii pentru branduri de lux

A recent investigation by World Animal Protection revealed that ostrich farms in South Africa use painful methods to harvest feathers for major fashion brands. The report, titled "Bloody Feathers," documents instances of workers capturing ostriches, covering their heads, and plucking feathers without anesthesia. South Africa, which produces 75% of the global ostrich market, supplies feathers to luxury brands and fast-fashion companies like Shein. The investigation highlights the cruel practices involved, including cutting feathers while still attached to the birds, leading to injuries and suffering. World Animal Protection emphasizes the need for ethical fashion practices and challenges claims that ostrich feathers are collected naturally during molting.
