Farms that abuse goats:

 Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada buy cashmere from farms that abuse goats: 

Most major luxury brands — including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Burberry and Prada — buy their cashmere from Mongolian farms that effectively torture the goats that produce the pricey fabric, according to an explosive report obtained by The Post.

Hidden-camera footage revealed cashmere goats tied down by their horns and hooves so their bodies were painfully stretched out to make it easier for workers to harvest their valuable fleece, according to animal-rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Workers at Khanbogd Cashmere’s facility in Mongolia used sharp metal combs to rake out the goats’ fleece for up to an hour at a time, even as the animals screamed in pain, the footage revealed.

PETA investigators said they found pieces of cashmere with skin on them, and “one goat with a bleeding penis, while another was found dead the day after having been seen limping.”

At one plant, workers castrated young goats, called kids, by cutting into their scrotums and then yanking out their testicles with their bare hands without having applied any pain medication.

According to PETA, the facility reportedly sells its cashmere to major fashion houses including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Burberry, Hermes and Prada — despite some of the brands’ websites gloating about their use of sustainably-sourced cashmere.

“If people are buying cashmere, it is absolutely a product of cruelty,” said PETA spokeswoman Ashley Byrne.
