thisThere are animals with birth defects all the time. Unless you're tracking the incidence of things like this relative to other populations of the same animals in other areas you can't draw any conclusions.
Also, that comment about it showing indications of albinism is probably moot. It's a domesticated rabbit, many domesticated rabbits were bred to express albinism. However, it's a recessive trait so its parents may not express it but still are able to have albino offspring. I'd bet that its parents are carriers for the recessive albino genes.
This is pretty poor reporting. It's just trying to get people's attention by playing on their fears without actually having any real information to base their story on.

No one has yet mentioned the most common cause of earless bunnies which is maternal mutilation of the juvenile; this behavior is probably related to stress or disturbance.
Meh, probably just overgrooming by the mommy rabbit. It's not that uncommon.
try working for a living it will ease your fears.
