Question

Animal Activities oppose the present process of getting silk from cocoon. Why do you think they are against it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The process of getting silk from cocoon involves a process called ‘stifling’ which is basically killing the silkworm inside the cocoon. This is mostly through boiling the cocoon. If it is not done the worm will develop into moth and come outside cocoon breaking the continuous silk thread which when normally rilled is more than 1000 m into 100s of pieces. So that smooth silkiness is gone. Further, one will no longer be able to use normal reeling techniques but spinning like cotton is required to produce yarn. Moreover, output also costs less. Hence, traditionally stifling is done which is not liked by many.

However, I have not found very vociferous opposition by animal rights activisits.

Those who practice stifling justify it by telling that the which comes out dies within a few days as it is born without intestine.

However, there is one variety of cocoon called Eri mostly produced in Eastern and North

Answer 2

Answer:

Why do you think they are against it? The present process of extracting silk from the cocoons involves boiling and killing of cocoons. For obtaining 1 kg of silk, 5500 silkworms are killed. Animal activists are against this process, as it involves the killing of silkworms on a large scale .
