Russian oil giant Yukos, already battered by the jailing of its head
amid a politically tinged probe, also faces allegations of letting rabbits
mate without supervision and of mistreating pigs, news reports said Thursday.

The animal mistreatment allegations against Yukos surfaced in an inspection
of a farm belonging to a Yukos-affiliated company in the Siberian region
of Yakutia, news reports said.

The report found that male and female rabbits were kept together and "couplings
take place unsystematically," the Interfax news agency said.
