A group of “crush fetishists” has caused an online storm in China after uploading graphic videos showing attractive 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 rabbits by crushing it under her high heels.
The videos have sparked a heated response from Web users, who launched what is known in China as a “flesh search” — an effort to reveal the girls’ true identities.
“It is hard to imagine someone could be so perverted,” one chatroom entry on the popular portal NetEase said.
“Flesh-search them! Uncover these rabbit abuse women and spit on them,” another said.
Such online vigilantism has been effective in the past in exposing malfeasance by corrupt businessmen, officials and others.
The searches have revealed that a user group of animal-crushing enthusiasts was organizing and financing the videos, according to media reports.
China Radio International quoted one girl identified as Huang Xiaoxiao as saying she had been paid to do several videos.
Payment starts at 100 yuan (US$15) for crushing fruit, 200 to 300 yuan for “other small animals” and up to 400 yuan for rabbits, she was quoted saying.

Archeologists in Peru on Thursday said they found the 5,000-year-old remains of a noblewoman at the sacred city of Caral, revealing the important role played by women in the oldest center of civilization in the Americas. “What has been discovered corresponds to a woman who apparently had elevated status, an elite woman,” archeologist David Palomino said. The mummy was found in Aspero, a sacred site within the city of Caral that was a garbage dump for more than 30 years until becoming an archeological site in the 1990s.
