[edit] Plucking Angora Rabbits
I have a pet French Angora Rabbit, and for him plucking is indeed painless- during molting the fur falls out all over the place in general, and the rabbit sits still through the process. I assume that if it hurt him he wouldn't sit calmly in my lap. It is just like humans running their fingers through their hair and having hairs come out.
Some breeds of Angoras do not naturally shed, namely the Giant and German angoras. For these plucking would be painful, and they are sheared. But when each time I touch the rabbit my hand comes away covered in fur, I can't see plucking hurting him. If you have sources proving otherwise, please share. Loggie 19:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
