BESTSELLER HAS DECIDED TO STOP SELLING ANGORA FROM 2016, AND ARE HEREBY TIGHTENING THEIR ANIMAL WELFARE POLICY.
Brande, Denmark, 2015-8-17— /EPR Retail News/ — “Despite the fact that we have found no evidence of live-plucking of rabbits at our angora suppliers, we cannot ensure at all times that animal welfare is at an acceptable level at the angora farms which are mainly located in China”.
“We believe now is the right time for us to take this decision. Animal welfare is of high concern to BESTSELLER, and we do not accept under any circumstances that animals are harmed in the process of manufacturing our products. Part of our Animal Welfare Policy is e.g. that we do not use real fur of any type in our products nor wool from sheep that have been exposed to mulesing etc,” says Katrine Milman, CSR Responsible
A majority of BESTSELLER’s brands have already stopped using angora in their products and the rest will have phased it out by the end of 2015.
