Rabbit Fur Rabbit Meat
Design against Fur is launching a new site soon at designagainstfur.com
. This is from the people who brought you the Design Against Fur competition at infurmation.com. Why is fur on a website about meat and dairy? Simply because the fur industry is yet another part of the mass production meat industry. It is great to see worldwide artistic talent being used as a weapon aginst this trade.
Rabbit fur comes from two sources - rabbits raised specifically for their fur, and rabbits raised primarily for their meat. The conditions in which the animals are raised (usually factory farming where they are crammed into bare wire cages and denied the ability to perform natural behaviours such as jump, run or dig) are similar, as is their death. Death is usually by neck-breaking or the throat being slit. The rabbits will also suffer when being transported between farm and market and / or slaughter, and are often roughly handled.
