"Every time you buy a rabbit from a breeder, two shelter rabbits die - the one you should have adopted, and the one that would have taken that one's place."

The Video (opens in a new window, viewer discretion is advised.)
Many people have probably seen this video, that has been floating around lately. It claims to show an angora rabbit farm in China, and pleads for viewers to boycott all angora products. First and foremost, the treatment of rabbits in this video is atrocious. It is not okay. No one would say that how that fur is harvested is humane in any way, shape or form. Wow, where to start? The first blog post is quite often the most difficult, as it can set the entire tone of your blog. I myself am more of a comedy writer, rather than the serious type, but I feel that the chosen topic of the blog indicates a need for well written, comprehensive seriousness. It may be a bit difficult for me, but I intend to try my hand at some seriousness as I cover the issues facing rabbit breeders all over the world.
