TELEVISION CHEF KILLS EASTER BUNNY

Just in time for Easter, a television chef decided to show the cooking process from the very beginning -- and proved her point by killing and skinning rabbits in front of a group of children. During the filming of a new series called Sarah and the Kitchen Kid, well-known Austrian TV chef Sarah Weiner had several rabbits electrocuted and their throats slit before asking the 12- to 15-year-olds on the set if they wanted to skin the animals. Wiener said that it's important for children to learn how their food ends up on the dinner table and to "create some reverence for the process." One boy said the worst part was when the rabbit's throat was cut and blood came pouring out. "It was a horrific sight," he said. Another boy who was a little shook up said, "It really hurt me to see this."
