An active supporter of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Gillian Anderson lends her voice to narrate the animal rights organization's undercover investigation video exposing the cruelty of rabbit slaughter in China and France, two countries from which top fashion designers, like Giorgio Armani just to name one, bought rabbit fur for their fashion line. The rabbit slaughter done in both countries uses quite different methods, but displays most likely the same animal cruelty.
In France, as featured in the video, rabbits are killed with electrical device, their necks are then slit before they are hung up side down. The animals are conscious during the slaughter. In China, there are 2000 rabbits killed each day. The furry animals are placed in tiny cages before being slaughtered. Workers at Chinese rabbit farm forcefully pull the animals out of cages by their ears and shoot them in the head with captive-bolt guns. The workers often shoot the screaming rabbits multiple times. Most of them can be seen twitching and shaking, with their eyes wide open, before they die.
The undercover investigation video of rabbit slaughter in China and France can be watched after this news.
Armani previously was quoted as promising not to use fur for his fashion design, saying "I spoke with the people from PETA, and they showed me some materials that convinced me not to use fur." Much contrary to his vows, he uses rabbit fur for babies and children's coats.
Taking aim at Armani, PETA Europe even released a picture of him with longer nose, depicting the one belongs to cartoon icon Pinocchio. The snap can be seen below.

OMG this is one of the most horrific videos on the cruelty of animals I've ever seen. The seems to becoming morally deficient by the minute, this is unfortunately another case in point. Well done PETA for opening our eyes to such inhumane treatment and the Armani's lies. I'll gladly support this cause and help spread the word. Kudos to Gillian Anderson for lending her voice to this noble cause, you are an inspiration.
I am a student at the Fashioin Institute of Desighn and Mercandising in Los Angeles. We usually speek highly of Armani here but not after seeing this video. I will no longer support Armani and any of his products. Thank you for opening my eyes Gillian Anderson.
I will gladly lend my support to end this inhumane slaughter. Kudos to Gillian Anderson for speaking out.
