Bunny-crushing videos stir Chinese online anger

[Manute for Ever!]

A group of "crush fetishists" has caused an online storm in China after uploading graphic videos showing attractive young Chinese women crushing small rabbits.

In the widely circulated videos, several smiling women are seen in turn cuddling and playing with small bunnies just before crushing them as other giggling girls look on.

In one scene, a young woman places a bunny on a table before covering it with a plate of glass and sitting on it for about a minute. She then lifts the glass up to reveal the lifeless bunny, blood oozing from its snout.

Another of the girls dispatches one of the rodents by crushing it under her high heels.

The videos have sparked a heated response from web-users, who launched what is known in China as a "flesh search" -- an effort to reveal the girls' true identities.

"It is hard to imagine someone could be so perverted," said one chatroom entry on the popular portal NetEase.

"Flesh-search them! Uncover these rabbit abuse women and spit on them," said another.

Such online vigilantism has been effective in the past in exposing malfeasance by corrupt businessmen, officials, and others.

The searches have revealed that a user group of animal-crushing enthusiasts was organising and financing the videos, according to media reports.

A purported apology by one of the girls was circulated online this week, but many critics dismissed it as unauthentic and a bid by the fetish group to tamp down the outrage.

China Radio International quoted one girl identified as Huang Xiaoxiao as saying she had been paid to do several videos.

Payment starts at 100 yuan (about 15 dollars) for crushing fruit, 200-300 yuan for "other small animals" and up to 400 yuan for rabbits, she was quoted saying.

China's censors have in recent years carried out a much-publicised crackdown on what they say is a proliferation of porn and other vulgar online content.

China has the world's largest number of Internet users, with 420 million according to the most recent Chinese count.

Wow, these dumb ******* need to be executed.

[alwaysunny]

Throwing puppies in the river and now this..the **** is wrong with people?

[Juges8932]

I hope they die and I would do it myself without a second thought given that I wouldn't be punished.

[Ass Dan]

They must be them sweatshop b*tches who make fur coats, that shit probably don't even phase them.

Sick f*cking people.

[OhNoTimNoSho]

Hey it happens, at least they're getting it on film.

[Grafbag]

I don't get it. Everybody that eats meat (China is really bad in particular with this, everything from there has animal products) is essentially torturing and killing animals. Now some people crush a few bunnies and anger rises all around the world because what? They're cuter? Way to be hypocrites guys.
:banghead:

Out of sight, out of mind.

People only care when it's on TV.:rolleyes:

These animals are being crushed for entertainment purposes. None of these girls or financiers of these videos plan on eating any of one of these pow wittle wabbits afterwards.

I sweat those Chinese people have no souls, they're absolute savages with no morals. Giggling why torturing helpless creatures is just all kinds of lows. If those Chinese teenage girls would do something so malicious, I imagine the grown men do stuff 10 times worse than them.

[DGARAS]

Any videos? I'd like to analyze the real stuff.

yup and they have no problem with snakes and alligators turning into shoes and handbags because they are scary nasty reptiles, but when a cute rabbit turns into a fur coat, everybody gets angry

Sure, some dodgy stuff happens in China, but you can't make a judgement call on over 1,000,000,000 people based on the actions of a few.

I think it's all about the treatment. Is the rabbit meat being used? Is the coat being used? Are they being tortured? If these animals were used properly, then there'd be no problem. I eat rabbits. They taste good.

[iamgine]

Links to the videos would be great.

[jbot]

weird shit right there.

[PowerGlove]

Definitely rape first.

[Jackass18]

So, some people don't see a difference between killing an animal for food and killing an animal to fulfill some pervert's desire and giggling like a moron while doing so?

I know this is old, but, there is not a difference really. In both cases the animal is being used torturously, simply to fulfil human wants. The only difference between one and the other is a difference in taste - to moralise about one while engaging in the other is foolish. Almost all animals are moulded to our wants and needs, even those we attempt to preserve from extinction.

What we do to dogs is just a bad. Instruments for our own enjoyment and pleasure, and yet people like to care and have real feeling for these animals (and they surely do, but it requires some degree of cognitive dissonance not to recognise the contradiction). Human beings are the foremost enemy of all other animals, regardless of how many docile dog-slaves they breed and pretend to care for.
