Mac Thomason links to this unpleasant story from Ananova. I'll agree with him that this is evil, although I think that there can be and are greater evils (and I think that he would agree with me about that). More than just being evil, though, this is stupid. Paintbrush manufacturers pluck hair from live mongooses (yes, that really is the plural) and then kill them? To save themselves the trouble of feeding them, perhaps? I think that what may be needed is mongoose ranching. And if the "domestic" mongooses turn out as nasty as "domestic" mink (which are damned nasty critters), well, that will be the price of mongoose-hair paintbrushses.
