When a rabbit shower scene brought the main characters together, it wasn’t exactly all warm and fluffy feelings, as a group of viewers were left feeling uncomfortable while watching KBS’ Discovery of Romance.
In August 18’s broadcast of Discovery of Romance, Han Yeoreum (Jung Yoo Mi) finds a rabbit on the street and brings it to Kang Taeha (Eric)’s home. When Kang Taeha is disgusted at the rabbit picked up from the street, Han Yeoreum takes it into the bathroom to give it a shower.
Once the scene aired, viewers began to call the drama out on SNS and on its official page for animal abuse, as rabbits are animals that should not be washed with water as it could be fatal due to stress.
KBS has responded to the complaints saying the staff paid close attention to the rabbit during the filming of this scene.
“We didn’t go into filming not knowing that rabbits should not be washed with water, So we prepared meticulously for the filming. There was no problem with the rabbit after the shoot,” said KBS. “Even after the filming, we’ve checked the rabbit’s health continuously. The scene was also filmed a month ago, and the rabbit is being raised well. It is very healthy.”
KBS added, “In today’s (8/19) episode, there is a scene where Kang Taeha takes the rabbit to the animal hospital and he gets scolded by the veterinarian for bathing the rabbit with water.”

Date: 2014-08-21 11:13 am (UTC)I have 8 rabbits and I get so anxious when people see them and want to touch them or handle them like they are toys. People don't really consider rabbits like they consider cats and dogs :\

Date: 2014-08-20 08:26 pm (UTC)I have 8 rabbits and every time a friend suggests to give a pet rabbit to a children I want to slap them so hard. Rabbits are great pets and quiet companions, they are really smart and listen well too. Very clean and can be litter trained, but rabbits are not pets for kids, they are too fragile :(
