How are rabbits killed to make a fur coat?

Answer 1

They are killed by internal electrocution or poisoned. The rabbit farmers take care not to damage the animals fur. Fur farmers argue that cruelty is not imposed on the animal during the operation. They say that any physical abuse to the animal during the process would make the animals fur useless. The animal, which is normally 10 to 12 weeks old, suffers a painful death, but at least the precious fur is protected.

Rabbits raised for their fur lead miserable lives in cramped and overcrowded conditions, often suffer from injuries inflicted by their cage-mates, and many die early deaths from their injuries. Rabbits raised for fur is a fiercely debated topic between fur advocates and animal rights groups such as the Animal Liberation Front.

Do a video search for farms and you can see first hand the conditions that these condemned animals live in.
