NYTimes: The Cuddly, Fluffy, Surreal World of Angora Show Bunnies

You have to click on the link above to see the bunnies photographed by Andres Serranos, who usually is making rather more controversial art.

Of course the comments are more interesting than the article. They run the gamut.

• Don’t buy one of these high maintenance pets for Easter
• Angora rabbits are tortured for our sweaters — but only in China
• Do rabbits have armpits
• We are a decadent society on the road to Hell for enjoying these pictures
• Rabbit stew is revolting and so are the folks who call it “loser stew.”
• This is the next installment of the Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

For myself, I will just settle for enjoying the pictures for what they are and remember my trip to an angora farm. It was years and years ago in Massachusetts to buy some angora for spinning. The bunnies were this woman’s livelihood and she took incredibly good care of them. She hand combed them to gather the fur and sold it by the ounce to spinners (people spin yarn on a spinning wheel or drop spindle).Now I realize I fall in the decadent category too.
