I agree completely about the rabbit fur. I have a rabbit coat, and given that it was made somewhere in Asia I wouldn't be surprised if the rabbits were eaten as well.
Besides, rabbits are mostly vermin in my part of the world, along with prairie dogs. The only reason we don't make prairie dog fur coats is they're not as soft as rabbits (and carry plague).
There's an alpaca farm up the highway from me. Alpacas tend to get less soft as they get older, but they're still pretty damn cuddly even when they're old and grumpy like me! (And the babies are the cutest little things EVER!)
