Ahimsa Silk, also known as Peace Silk, is processed from cocoons without killing the pupae inside.

1. If the pupa is allowed to hatch, they will become caterpillars, it is impossible to feed so many. Thus instead of killing individual caterpillars, the offsprings are being killed.
2. In Eri Silk also, majority of the worms are starved to death after hatching. They are not flying off into woods.
