They don't have to be slaughtered just to get their feathers. Fortunately, peacocks shed their train every year after mating season, allowing the feathers to be collected and sold without harming the birds. A peacock's average lifespan in the wild is about 20 years. Their beautiful feathers are used for decoration as well as handicrafts.
