Rabbit Death Mania


Some mad as a loon speciesism here. Or not speciesism really, just society placed attitudes that highlight how contradictory people are when they decide to take pleasure in the flesh of a fellow creature. A butcher who is advertising like crazy to sell as many wild rabbit bodies as he can is very quick to state that he won’t sell tame rabbits. Well that’s all right then. So long as only the rabbits miss a family member, not the little kid down the road. He then boasts how he wouldn’t sell roadkill. No, they have to be deprived of life specially for him to sell them. What a sick, sad world this is.

A Bletchley-based butcher has received a good response after placing an ad in the local paper asking for people to supply him with dead wild rabbits as he can not keep up with customer demand.

Malcolm Driver, from DP Clarke butchers Queensway, near Milton Keynes, said he was only interested in taking wild rabbits from those who are licensed to shoot them.

Since placing the unusual ad in the paper, which read ‘wild rabbits required’, Malcolm said he had received much media attention which had resulted in increased numbers of wild rabbits being brought into the shop.

“I have sold 80 extra rabbits since Friday last week and they all went during Saturday and Sunday morning,” Malcolm said.

He added he was due to receive another couple of 100 rabbits yesterday.

“I’ve always sold wild rabbit. I can sell 500 a week and in the last six to seven months I have got busier with them,” he said.

Malcolm attributed the increased interest in wild rabbit to a growing multi-cultural society and changes in what consumers choose to eat.

“People are realising that rabbit meat is low fat, tender, very tasty - and a cheap option.

“I certainly remember my mum baking rabbit pies, and they tasted superb,” he said.

He sells three ready-skinned rabbits for £5 and will pay his suppliers £1.50 each for them.

Malcolm said: “They are mainly from farmers or from people that manage golf courses or people who have shot rabbits on their own land.

“I don’t touch roadkill and I certainly would never contemplate tame rabbits.”

    I love rabbit meat. I have been eating it since I was a child. What is wrong with it?

    Gladnews continues…

    firstly please correct “…… be patient and unbised, and …” as “… be patient and unbiassed, and …” in the former comment.

    the questions that I was going to ask were:

    1. What you think about lions, tigers, pythons and other predator beasts with long canine tooths ?
    2. Have you ever seen a cheetah hunting an innocent oryx or elk or deer after a long painful chase and eating its live flesh?
    3. Have you ever thought that the animals on the earth (including human) as they are divided into two: predators and non-predators (preys)
    4. Have you ever made a visit to a wild jungle?
    5. Have you ever asked yourself “Why The Creator created harmful and harmless animals?
    6. Have you ever thought about the self-balancing Nature?

    So many questions are there..

    if you find these questions relevent and tried to find convincing answers for them, you will reach in a tensionless life (about meat and blood).

    You will find that reason is not merciless and mercy is not reasonless.

    Mercy and love are the most gracefull emotions the human created for and blessed with, of course.

    Without cooperation, the society is a myth. Without love, the human animal is a mere animal.
    A mercy-drained brain will take only over a criminal or psychic.

    But…..

    Mercy is not the only emotion the human created with.

    ….

    sorry…
