chinchillas.com: For the first time, a select group of rare and exceptionally beautiful Royal Persian Angora chinchillas are leaving the sole breeding herd in Amarillo, Texas in the United States bound for some of the top hobbyist show herds in Europe and Asia. The Royal Persian Angora promises to add a new dimension to chinchilla breeding. Their long silky hair, along with a prepotency towards the desirable pretty heads is sure to draw much attention from breeders and spectators alike. The Royal Persian Angora will push the show standard for "eye appeal" to a whole new level.
The History of the Royal Persian Angora
Earliest estimates put the origin of what is now the Royal Persian Angora appearing somewhere in the early 1960's, at a ranch in Ft. Worth, Texas. This mutation was observed and described by Dr. Caraway, as reported by Dr. J. Lauridsen. Dr. Caraway stated that the initial long haired mutation matured very quickly, at about 5 months of age. Fur producers at this time were interested in developing the mutation as an answer to fast production. The problem with the mutation in this market was not only that the fur was twice as long as that of a normal chinchilla, but also that good clarity of color and a dark color phase proved difficult to produce simultaneously with the genetics that accounted for their rapid maturation>>>

So sad. Why do people buy this stuff? It doesn't even look nice
by Nazanin G (not verified) on Sat Mar 22, 2008 06:11 AM PDTIf you have to prove to people that you can afford expensive coats, at least buy something stylish. Wearing murdered animals or "death chic" only shows others what stupid judgement you have. They are such cute, quiet animals.
chinchilla breeding...
by IRANdokht on Fri Mar 21, 2008 01:53 PM PDTit's sickening to think these gorgeous animals are being bred to be killed and used to make fur coats
it seems like they're great since they mature quickly and they can be "produced" in large numbers to be slaughtered and skinned.
very sad and a cruel business. At least other animals are raised and killed for food ... these poor furballs are killed to make fancy outfits
