A group of "crush fetishists" has caused an online storm in China after uploading graphic videos showing 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.
Animal-crush videos are sold to fetishists in search of a sexual thrill. A bill to crack down on such videos is about to be voted into law in the United States, according to the US-based Humane Society. 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.
I personally saw the first minute of the video online, it was my brother who showed it to me. I was speechless and horrified after watching the video. These people should be punished for their actions, the bunnies do not deserve this. People should not take advantage of defenseless animals to their amusement. The China authorities should have a heavier sentence on animal abusers. Like us, animals are a form of life.
