Why are down comforters and some natural fiber comforters problematic?
With down we already know the problem that for our well-being the animals are partially decapitated or live pluck is also not uncommon – just so that we can use their down for warmth. But other animal fibers such as camel hair or merino wool are also stolen under inhumane conditions. Torment breeding, parasite infestation, fattening and electric water baths are just some of the measures and living conditions that the animals have to live with so that we humans can enrich ourselves with their hair and wool. A good alternative for this are now high-quality synthetic fibers such as lyocell or polyester, as well as Cotton.
