The process of producing woven silk from the cocoon to the painstaking task of turning them into handmade embroidery is explained here. Video taken by INQUIRER.net multimedia reporter Erika Tapalla.

Silkworms turn into moths.

If you have ever consumed anything with red dye in it (I promise you have, every day most likely) you are eating boiled insect.

Seals are predatory animals just like humans. They bite the heads off of baby birds. Just saying.

I don't see why boiling a potential butterfly is any different than punching a seal in the face...
