The Silk Industry

Silk is a fiber made from silk fabric - the outer shell protects them during the season of the flood. However, most of the insects used in the silk industry are boiled or alive in cockroaches, so they never survived at this stage. About 6,600 silkworms were killed and only 1 kilogram of silkworm was produced.

In Indian silk production facilities, silkworm growing to moth is superior to silkworm boiled with wolf. After laying eggs, female moths are crushed and their diseases are examined under a microscope. Eggs are destroyed if sickness is found. Male moths are thrown away after copulation. Outside the silk production facility it is not uncommon to see birds eating a basket filled with male moths.

Worms can not show pain so that humans can easily identify it, but anyone who has seen cockroaches will be surprised when their dark house is found. They produce endorphins and react physically to pain

There is also a report on the use of child labor in the silk industry. According to Human Rights Watch, a non-profit organization that investigates silk trading in India, some 5-year-olds are forced to work at factories and factories that produce silks. In order to touch the sputum, some people dipped their hands in hot buckets to make their skin rough and blisters. Children who take up silk into strands are often suffering from untreated and potentially infected cuts

Many people suffering from the brutality of traditional silk production turned their attention to the cruel options which are said to be "Peace Silk" or "Ahimsa Silk". Seller argued that this material was manufactured from cockroaches collected after the natural appearance of ga but no certification body ensures that these standards will be maintained and traditional silk as "peace" There is a report that it is sold.

Even silk producers who do not feed or boil silkworms may suffer from providing insufficient food or expelling them from bondage quickly. Brutal beauty - While India produces this silk in the tray for egg laying, men are placed in the refrigerator, they are taken out for breeding occasionally, and when they are no longer thrown away they observe the abandoned female moths did.

The only truly cruel option is not from animals. Fortunately, there are many animal-friendly high-class fabrics such as nylon, polyester, Tencel, seed pod fiber, silk cotton tree silk, rayon.

Several moths are cultured for their economic value. The most noteworthy of these is larvae of silkworm, Bombyx mori. I am cultivating with silk made with cockroaches. As of 2002, the silk industry produces more than 130 million kilograms of silk per year, its value is about 250 million dollars. Not all silk is produced by silkworms. Some Saturniidae also used for cultivating those silks, such as Samia cynthia spp., Chinese oak Silkmoss (Antheraea pernyi), Assam silk moth (Antheraea assamensis), and Japanese silk moth (Antheraea yamamai) There is.

Not all the silks of the Greek world come from China. On the island of Cos there is a famous doctor Hippocrates of Cos, where he founded a medical school with a prosperous silk industry that uses silk from the earthworm. The main source of information on the industry is Aristotle and Elder Pliny who agreed that a technique to extract silk from Ali's moth was discovered by a woman named Pamphile. Silk silk is woven by men and women, and it is very unusual in Greece where knitting is considered a female piece. However, Coan is a small island, its silk may not be as good as Chinese silk, so the production of the Coan silk industry can not be that big. China will provide demand that Cos can not meet
