Until I saw this, I did not know that angora came from rabbits. Gathering the fur is a very time consuming process. One has to gently pull the fur out of the coat of the rabbit.
It doesn't hurt the rabbit at all, it just comes loose. In fact, if the loose fur is not removed, the rabbit's coat becomes a huge ratted mess. It's a win-win for rabbit and owner!

I don't like cleaning their hairs out of my crockpot.

I bet that first one melted down about 5 minutes after the picture was taken.
Self cooking.

Bubbling champagne looks like the Trojan rabbit from the Holy Grail.
