life of 15 silk moths to produce 1 gram of woven silk., 15 silk moths are either boiled or steamed alive in their cocoons. To produce one hundred grams of pure silk, approximately fifteen hundred chrysalis have to die. One sari uses upto 50,000 dead creatures. If life is the same in all then how much more frightening to wearing the skin of 50,000 murdered animals than one.

Nor is it just cruelty that is involved here. The massive wiping out of these tiny insects adversely affects the ecological balance. Butterflies pollinate many tubular flowers, orchids, for example, cannot grow without them. They devour plant pests like aphids and destroy weeds. In Australia, for example, the cactus moth has been used to clear 60 million acres of prickly pear cactus for farming.

Now we are offering cruelty-free, eco-friendly Ahimsa Silk Sarees and Angavastrams produced without killing the silk warms.
