    How inquisitive of you to find a story not only only on Pashmina but also the personal lives of the people responsible for the industry.. It felt like a NatGeo documentary.

    I cannot watch it! My God! They don't care. They have seen their elders do it , so they have learnt the "art" , however the people need to be taught empathy as well! I can't go there . But, it needs to begin! They need education on empathy and other such things which will make them grow as human beings and also alleviate some of the suffering that animals have to go through.
