The demonstrators against the use of rabbit fur for fashion trimming are ill-informed.

Unlike mink, which are killed for their fur, rabbits are eaten all over the world as a delicious meal. The fur is a by-product.

My mother could skin and eviscerate a rabbit but, then, she was born and brought up in the country, where rabbits are considered a pest.

In many parts of the world, people think our urban animal worshippers are rather strange.

It might be as well to remember several hundred humans, some of them children, are killed by big cats every year.
