Rabbit fur farms in the Year of the Rabbit

The World

The Year of the Rabbit promises to be a tumultuous one, according to feng-shui experts. Restless youth and sex scandals are among the predictions for the coming Chinese lunar year, which officially begins on Feb. 3.

But perhaps the most tumultuous year of all will be for the rabbits themselves — at least according to a recent PETA expose of rabbit fur farms in China and France, both of which sell to Armani.

The video (embedded below, and not for the weak of heart) shows rabbits screaming while being slaughtered.
