Confashions, shahtoosh shawls are made from tibetan antelope which are endangered species. Selling or owning these shawls is illegal.

Did any1 ever wonder why these shawls are so expensive!!!
Shahtoosh is the name given to the wool got from the Tibetan Antelope which is a rare and endangered specie. It takes 3 antelopes to make one shahtoosh shawl. The hunting of this animal is illegal but poachers still continue to do so, to keep this illegal trade going. We as individuals should discourage this trade by boycotting these products. Let the "Chiru"(the name for the Tibetan Antelope) live, otherwise at this rate it might be extinct in the next 3 years.
P.S. I am surprised these shawls were not confiscated at the customs.
Please in the future before you post any such blogs do make inquiries.

really surprised these items were not confiscated at the customs. They are illegal because they are got by poaching the endangered Tibetan Antelope 'Chiru'. Please all of you do your part by not buying such items.
