Hunting Human Hair
Ok so on buzznet.com and there was an article on Amy Winehouse. Apparently she is is donating 50 thousand English pounds to a Romanian orphanage where the children have been exploited by hair poachers. Evidently, the worldwide trend for hair extensions has resulted in a black market of stolen hair being pilfered off the skulls of motherless Eastern European waifs.
Hunting animals isn't bad enough, but now we've got people poaching other people for their hair!?
Someone on buzznet left this comment about the hair poaching.
" A couple of months ago it was in the newspapers that a girl was approached by a guy with a knife who actually cut off her hair and threatened to stab her if she screamed. People are actually mugging hair! I could hardly believe it when i heard about this, it's a ridiculous situation. I'd say this whole hair extension trend has been taken just a little bit too far, if people are willing to pay so much for human hair that it's actually worth threatning someone's life just to steal it."
I tried looking up websites relating to the subject, but came up short. But if you guys can find anything, please pass the message along about these poor people who are being hurt and hunted for their hair. This hair extension trend just isn't that glamorous anymore.
