Mutant rabbit born near Fukushima plant

The birth of a white rabbit with no ears not far from the damaged Fukushima power plant in Japan has sparked fear in locals.
The animal is a living reminder of the danger that radiation leakages may pose, reports Italian Corriere TV, branch of the newspaper Corriere della Sera.

The Fukushima nuclear power plant was damaged by the powerful earthquake and the subsequent tsunami on March 11. Authorities evacuated all residents within 20 km as the reactors went into meltdown. The exclusion zone was later extended to 30 km.

The mutant rabbit was born in a village just outside the perimeter

While most of us have been distracted by events occuring outside of Japan, our attention has been fixated away from the serious situation at the Fukishima nuclear power plant. Many believe that the situation is worse than Chernyobol and honestly I can't say I disagree. If this is already happening to animal life outside of Fukishima, when can we expect to see it start happening to humans?

and so it begins...

It's so bad that the radiation is travelling back to England, 2008.

It's not a common everyday occurance, but lets wait until entire litters are mutated until we start with the fear mongering again.

Thanks for posting this OP. Maybe when more things like this start happening the world will open its eyes to the great danger this poses to the people of Japan and possibly the other Asian nations.

That is so messed up. Rabbits don't even use air conditioning.
What did THEY do to deserve that?

Of course it must be because of the radiation.

They're known for their long ears, so imagine John Haigh's surprise when his pet rabbit gave birth to an earless bunny.

ARC had a pair of rabbits without ears this year and they have found a new home with someone who didn't mind.

Im watching Futurama atm...and for humans i can see incoming zoidbergs ad Lelahs...

I just happened to be talking to my sister in law, who lives in Iwaki, Fukushima, while reading ATS. She hasn't heard of any mutant no ear bunnies being born.

quick hide this thread from beezer!!!!!!!

mutations from radiation is nothing new

i guess japan will finally create their most feared enemy gozdilla

but godzilla was made from a reptile not a cute bunny rabbit!

oh the humanity!

seriously tho people need to start paying attention to the cancer rates and birth rates in japan now

the total effect of fukishma will not be known for a few decades however there are signs like those.

so has this rabbit got any special powers now?
2nd

So sad, but so so SO cute!
I want him!!

Seems a little old to have been affected by the radiation. I think down the line there may be some mutations happening and they will be alot more deformed than this animal.

QUICK!

How many mutations were caused by Chernobyl?

The source of the video actually is Corriere TV. That doesn't change the fact that chances of this being a radiation induced mutation is nill.

LOL

This is too cute to be a radioactive mutation.

It is a Grey Alien - Rabbit Hybrid

It all is beginning to make since

This is more than 36 hours old news even though your source just got around to publishing it a week after the news broke, so I don't think it meets the 36 hour rule for breaking news in spite of the recent time stamp on the source.

There are already 2 threads on ATS from when this news broke a week ago:

That is very sad to see a bunny without ears... still kinda cute. But is such a condition directly related to the radiation leak or is this sort of deformity known in normal rabbit populations?

Don't get me wrong, the radiation leaks are complete disasters and these sort of results will likely only increase over time.

According to the internet, this is a rare birth defect.

I'd say extra limbs, facial deformity, or lack of fur would be a mutation.
