During his investigations into women's fashions, he had unearthed the origin of the fashionable aigrette, the most desired of all the feathered possessions of womankind. He had been told of the cruel torture of the mother-heron, who produced the beautiful aigrette only in her period of maternity and who was cruelly slaughtered, usually left to die slowly rather than killed, leaving her whole nest of baby-birds to starve while they awaited the return of the mother-bird.

白话

博克调查女性时尚时,查清了时髦“鹭羽饰”的来历。这种羽毛是女性最想要的装饰,可它来自母鹭在孵育期的羽毛。捕猎者为了取羽,往往把母鹭折磨致死,常常不直接杀死,而是让它慢慢死去,留下一窝雏鸟活活饿死,等不到母亲回来。核心是:一件美丽饰品的背后,可能是一条残忍的供应链。知道真相后,消费者可以拒绝购买,用钱包投票;商家也可以主动停售。关键是把看不见的代价摆到明面上。

上下文

19世纪末美国妇女流行戴鹭羽饰,博克在杂志上调查并揭露其残忍来源。
