Rabbit has been common table fare and a staple source of protein for centuries. That people have become so removed from what food really is...let alone where it comes from...no longer surprises me. But I was blind-sided by this one...

Who knew there were groups that specialize in protecting nature's favorite fast food?

I think it all comes down to the "cuteness" factor. It these things had scaly legs like chickens no one would give a rat's ^&%. And you're right, these things have been keeping people alive forever.


That lady in the video, probably stopped by McDonalds on her way to the protest and got a sausage, egg, cheese and spam muffin to go.

I loved the assertion that it's hypocritical to oppose torturing an animal (via lab testing) and then quickly and humanely kill it for food. Her thinking has all the depth of a tea cup saucer.

Yep, how is this any different from any animal grown for meat?

They're eating their own and don't know it.
