Stockholm's bunnies burned to keep Swedes warm
The bodies of thousands of rabbits culled every year from the parks in Stockholm’s Kungsholmen neighbourhood are being used to fuel a heating plant in central Sweden.
The decision to use Stockholm’s rabbit cadavers as bioenergy to warm Swedes living in Värmland doesn't sit well with Stockholm-based animal rights activists.
“Those who support the culling of rabbits surely think it’s good to use the bodies for a good cause. But it feels like they’re trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem,†Anna Johannesson of Vilda kaniners värn (‘Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits’) told the local Vårt Kungsholmen newspaper.
Every year, the city of Stockholm kills off thousands of rabbits in an effort to protect trees and shrubbery in the city’s extensive network of parks and green space.
According to Tommy Tuvunger with the Stockholm Traffic Office, the agency responsible for controlling the city’s rodent and wild animal population, part of the problem rests with delinquent pet owners who decide to release their rabbits into the city’s parks.
“Many of the released rabbits are tame,†he told the newspaper.
Animal control authorities employ a special rifle to shoot the excess rabbits, with most of the culling taking place at dawn when the animals peek out from their holes.
The city usually steps up its rabbit hunting efforts in the autumn as leaves begin to fall from bushes and trees, making it easier to see the rabbits.
Tuvunger explained that it doesn’t take many newly released rabbits to do what rabbits are known for doing, much to the detriment of Stockholm’s efforts to control the size of its rabbit population.
“People who think that the bunnies are cute and cuddly suddenly don’t think they’re as fun anymore and put the animals outside. They think: ‘there they can play with the other rabbits’,†he said.
Last year marked a new record for Stockholm’s rabbit cull, with nearly 6,000 rabbits, mostly from Kungsholmen, being removed from Stockholm’s parks.
But rather than simply disposing of the dead rabbits, the city instead froze them for eventual transport to a special heating plant in Karlskoga in central Sweden, where the bunny bodies are then burned as a form of bioenergy.
According to Johannesson, Sweden’s animal control authorities aren’t interested in pursuing other options besides killing the rabbits.
“We want to see them start looking at other solutions for the rabbits,†she said, citing the Finnish capital of Helsinki, which employs sprays to make park plants unappetizing as well as a network of shelters for various domesticated animals.
“In Helsinki, where they have the same problem, they’ve come much farther,†Johannesson told Vårt Kungsholmen.

In other news, Ptarmy was seen dancing giddily around the furnace, stabbing a trident into the corpses within as they burned.

More proof that God hates filthy sodomite bunnies!!!!!!!!!! :evillaugh:

Sweden Turning Stray Rabbits Into Biofuel
Stray rabbits are getting a raw deal in Sweden. Thousands of them living in the center of Stockholm are being culled, deep frozen and converted into biofuel for heating homes. Wildlife campaigners have criticized the practice.
Thousands of rabbits, some of them pets abandoned by their owners, are being shot, deep-frozen and burned in a heating plant in Sweden, a professional hunter who works for the city of Stockholm said on Tuesday.
The center of the Swedish capital is being plagued by thousands of rabbits, some of them wild and some of them stray pets, and 3,000 have been culled this year, down from 6,000 in 2008, Tommy Tuvunger, who hunts rodents for the Stockholm city administration, told SPIEGEL ONLINE.

The practice of killing rabbits and incinerating has been criticized by Sweden's Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits.
"Those who support the culling of rabbits surely think it's good to use the bodies for a good cause. But it feels like they're trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem," Anna Johannesson of the society told VÃ¥rt Kungsholmen newspaper, news Web site The Local reported

I don't get why this is funny, if they are killing the rabbits to control population then go ahead and use the dead bodies, but they shouldn't just kill them for fuel.

Somewhere, Ptarmy is laughing . . . :evillaugh:

MSB is probably sad. :(

Yeah, but the flip side is that Ptarmy is doing gleeful handstands.

The question I have is how many kilowatt hours do you get per rabbit?

killing and recycling excess bunnies makes sense, in a way.
We should do that with the overpopulated polar bears. What do polar bears taste like?

I'm pretty sure they don't taste like chicken.

They probably taste gamey

Do they throw then into the fires alive, or do they send them to a 'shower-room' first?

humor, sarcasm what is there that confuses you?
The Leftist McCarthyism in this country must end. The idea that you can be denied business opportunities by the radical lies of the left is not going to stand. Do you expect that people are just going to accept being robbed by the government to fund leftwing groups? Do you think people are going to meekly obey their leftist McCathyite masters who want to force them what to believe, say and do?

I bet you don't even like roasted spotted owl with snail darter sauce.
:whatever:

For God's sake....they are being sarcastic for the most part. Get a grip.
Personally...I was wondering why they can't be used for food too. Kill them, clean them, freeze them and ship them to Darfur where people need food.
Using them for fuel is just gross.....

Have to tape the cig though...

I thought I was annoying?
Why don't you go get a nice cup of SHUT THE **** UP?
bitch.

Rabbit is a good food source. They could butcher them and sell them on the market or send them to the folks in third world countries that are starving. IMO, it's kind of dumb to just use them as a fuel source.

That's "Welsh Rarebit" :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:

I think food would be a better use, but, have you ever tasted wild bunny? It's either really good or really gamey depending on the age and how much adrenaline was dumped into the bunny's system before it assumed room temperature. Bunnies for food works better when they are farm grown.
Now, as far as fuel, processing rabbit is no different than processing corn or algae. Every living thing contains fatty acid methyl esters and that is what is processed for bio fuel.
I would think you would be proud of them for reducing their carbon footprint by using a bio fuel.

I still think they should be processed and sent to Africa. I don't think the people in Darfur would complain if it tasted gamey or not so gamey.
Screw the carbon footprint and biofuel.

Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way out, asshat! Can't remember anyone givin' a flock what YOU think. We didn't invite you and we certainly don't live our lives in order for your aproval! You're welcome to leave any time. We may have a morbid sense of humor, but guess what, that's all it is, HUMOR!
Get lost!

Oh, I quite agree. I don't think that food items should ever be intentionally used for fuel.
The comment about carbon footprint was, well, a bit of a backhand at the young liberal. :-)
