China Daily  

进入英语学习论坛下载音频 去听写专区一展身手 Animal rights experts are calling for urgent legislation to stop animal cruelty, following the exposure of an emerging business behind widespread videos of rabbit abuse on the Internet. A man contacted her and offered her a job making videos of "preparing salad by foot", which meant Huang's job was to trample fruit with high-heeled shoes. The man, who was not identified by Huang's friend, reportedly told Huang that the video would only be sold abroad and that each time she trampled a fruit he would give her 100 yuan. The man gradually required Huang to crush animals such as fish, insects and rabbits, and threatened to release the videos online if she quit, according to Xinhua's report.
