A Danish radio station boss has defended the killing of a baby rabbit during a live show, telling Sky News there is a "discrepancy" in how we care for different animals. The Radio24syv presenter Asger Juhl was hosting a debate on animal welfare when he hit nine-week-old Allan three times with a bicycle pump, before wringing its neck. The station has been criticised over the item, but Mr Juhl, 34, said it was to demonstrate the hypocrisy of animal rights campaigners who eat meat from supermarkets. And the station's chief executive, Jorgen Ramskov, told Sky News: "We wanted to raise a discussion about why animal welfare is an issue for some animals but not for other animals. "In Denmark, at least, we have a very industrialised agricultural industry and a lot of these animals in this sector are not basically viewed as animals, they're machines delivering meat to our tables and we don't really care about their animal welfare. "We have some animals that we have decided that we care about their animal welfare and that discrepancy we wanted to address. "The rabbit is something you can eat, but also an animal we care a lot about. Why don't we care for a piglet, why don't we care for a small cow, or lamb?" He also insisted the radio had taken advice from experts on how to kill rabbit "instantly and in a way that the animal doesn't suffer".
