I know there was no ripping and tearing the fur off the rabbits, nothing cruel was going on. As far as eating rabbit meat, they did eat rabbit meat from rabbits they raised, but the rabbits were not horrifically murdered.....and I do not think they were "bled" after they were killed.....people that live on farms and supply us with meat know how that is done humanely. My son raised rabbits in high school....we were going to raise them to eat....never happened. I fell in love with all those dad gum rabbits and it would have been over my dead body that those rabbits would be killed for a meal! Same thing with a calf from the rodeo calf scramble.....and the little lamb.....I am NOT a farmer.....I can not raise my food for my table! |
Well, I pluck my eyebrows, I can take the pain, but plucking thick hair all over the body, is a different story. Are they plucking just a few hairs at a time or are they going taking big wads of hair to go as fast as possible to get the job done? I'm not against using rabbits to eat; this isn't about that, I believe that there are ways to kill humanely. This is about plucking the hair out every few months. Wouldn't this hurt any animal with fur all over its body? I have nothing against them shaving the rabbits; I think plucking should be outlawed.
