Answer 2

ANSWER:  

Silk has come under fire from animal right activists because of the killing of larva from the cocoon to obtain silk.

EXPLANATION:  

Silk has been obtained by boiling the cocoons, as a result the larva present in the cocoon dies because of the hotness produced by boiling and silk thread comes out from the cocoon.

This activity of cruel killing of larva is being strongly opposed by the animal right activists as these species could become endangered if this practice keeps on continuing.
