Are alpacas killed to make those little teddy bears?

I have a teddy bear that's made out of alpaca, and I understand that it's made of the pelt, i.e. the skin with the fur on it! Are the alpacas killed in order to get the pelts and make the bears and other little things?

Note- I know that alpaca fiber is the fur/hair sheared off, meaning that the animal isn't hurt, and the bears are made of pelts, not just the fiber

No they are not, their fur is shaved very short, but the chances are that the alpaca has died for other reasons and the pelt has been used to make the bears. There are laws against this so I'm sure the alpacas are fine.

Steiff is a German-based plush toy company known for its high quality and equally high prices. It was begun in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who was later assisted by her brother Fritz. Their nephew Richard joined in 1897, who gave the company an enormous boost in popularity by creating the teddy bear in 1902. In 1907, Steiff manufactured 974,000 bears, and has been increasing its output ever since.
The Steiff company motto, as styled by Margarete Steiff, is "Only the best is good enough for children". Steiff products are subject to meticulous testing and inspection. They are required to be highly flame resistant and, among other things, smaller pieces such as eyes must be able to resist considerable tension, wear and tear, etc.
The most common materials used in Steiff toys are alpaca, felt, mohair, and woven plush. Eyes are generally made of wood or glass, and the stuffing is commonly wood shavings or polyester fibers. A large amount of the work is done by hand, from design sketches to airbrushed paint. The final touch on any Steiff toy is the trademark "button in ear" (assuming the animal has one; in any case they'll find a spot for it).
The famed "button in ear" was devised by Margarete's nephew Franz in 1904, to keep counterfeits from being passed off as authentic Steiff toys. It is metal and originally had the symbol of an elephant, later replaced by the name "Steiff". The button is still used to distinguish Steiff toys from fakes. Some special toys have both the elephant and the name.
