what is persian fur made from
By: Elisa Bob, HSUS. Mar. 16, 2001. For years the fur industry has told the world that karakul lamb furs, also known as Persian lamb and broadtail, are simply byproducts of the meat industry.The most sought-after pelts--those stripped from unborn lambs and made into $25,000 suits--come, it says, from normal, spontaneous sheep abortions.t an auction held by Finnish Fur Sales in December 2000, more than 100,000 broadtail pelts were auctioned for between $19 and $70 each. The skin of fetal lambs is worth far more to karakul farmers than lamb chops.
