Hi all,
Was reading a thread below about a contaminated brush and it went off on a tagent about kolinsky brushes and their origins.. Weasel's bum hair?! Horses tails?!.. The arguement is yet to be settled!!
Then there was a website posted about some animals that are poss the origin of our brush bristles...
Does anyone know where bristles for brushes actually come from for deffo?
I probably sound like a dumb-ass but I do hope that lots of cute fluffy animals are not being killed (Or having their bums shaved?!) to make my brush.
I am assuming our brushes are made from by-products after what ever animal it is that are killed for food etc....
I am assuming and hoping it's the latter, as surely there would be uproar over this... I daren't look on the PETA website for info (If they have any.) but I am getting myself all worried.. Please assure me.. SOMEONE?! ANYONE?!
Miss B. xx :cry:
PS: If I am being melodramatic, then give me a kick up the bum! LOL!
