I will not look at that video....but I can tell you there is no bald spots left on Angora rabbits when fur is harvested in countries other than China or third world countries. If the rabbit is pulled bald, where will the next batch of fur come from??? I have no idea where that video is filmed, but I can assure in civilized countries, the rabbits are not savaged like that! That would be like milking a cow then cutting off its udder....it is useless as a dairy cow after one milking! Or picking all the apples, then cutting the tree down! Or pulling all the wool off a sheep until it is raw skin bald! The whole object of the game is to collect the fur every 60-90 days, assuring an ongoing production of fiber...if you pull the hair out until the rabbit is bald, that is the end of the production of fur from that rabbit....not done except in that video, where ever that was filmed. Wish PETA would go to any of the hundreds of legitmate operations in civilized countries across Europe, Australia, Canada, and USA and show how it is done in civilized countries.
If PETA had gone and filmed Vick's dog fighting operation and then said we all treat out dogs like that, it would be just as stupid and outrageous!
