Nokia accused of rabbit torture


A LITHUANIAN animal rights group has accused Nokia and the second biggest local mobile telephone company Bite GSM of torturing rabbits in adverts for new mobile phones.

The Lithuanian Society for the Protection of Animals said in an open letter to both companies it is "offended by the Nokia and Bite GSM companies' print and TV media advertisements in which rabbits are lifted by their ears".
