Crush videos are reportedly sold to foreign websites for as much as 6,000 yuan, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

A pretty young woman places a rabbit on a table.

One hand holding its body, she nails the struggling animal to a wooden board.

She steps up onto the table and then crushes its head under her high heels.

The rabbit screams.

The woman smiles as blood oozes from the animal's head.

Then she speaks English: " Baby I'm sorry but I must do this to you."

Produced, circulated and sold by a group of Chinese crush fetishists, animal snuff has once again sparked online outrage across the country.

Like the famous kitten-stomping antics of Heilongjiang Province nurse Wang Jue in 2006, the rabbit videos are widely circulated on the Internet and reportedly sold to fetishists in search of a sexual thrill.

Crush fetishists savor seeing insects, reptiles and mammals squeezed out of shape, with many achieving sexual gratification from watching a woman torture animals to death.

Making crush films in China - a country without law against animal cruelty - is a lucrative business.

As the market for crush films grows on the Chinese mainland, some fetishists have reportedly sold video clips to foreign websites for as much as 6,000 yuan ($900), according to the Xinhua News Agency.

In response, outraged Internet users launched the "human flesh search engine" to hunt down and punish those who crush animals and those who pay them for it.

It all began on November 14 with a post about uncovering secrets behind girls killing rabbit videos on Tianya.cn, one of the most popular Internet forums in China. The post attracted more than 13 million clicks within days.

An animal lover who identified himself as Kongquemingwang, literally "Peacock King", posted the story that exposed the scandal.

"I just wanted to expose the senseless killing and stop them from enrolling new girls," he told the Global Times.

"But I didn't want the girls to be hunted and get hurt. Some are just university students."

He first spotted the interest group when he found a Chinese mainland online instant messenger QQ group titled "crushing animals films for sale" on one animal website early last year.
