Whole Foods Sale of Rabbit Meat Sparks Protests Planned for This Weekend

Animal advocacy groups are planning to protest this weekend at Whole Foods Markets nationwide to oppose the retail sale of rabbit meat and to “politely” remind customers via handouts that rabbits are friendly animals often kept as pets.

“Rabbits are the 3rd most popular furry companion in the US and have unique personalities, just like dogs and cats,” a leaflet from House Rabbit Society states. “They enjoy running, jumping, snuggling with other rabbits, and form deep bonds with their humans.”

The advocacy groups will be asking customers to fill out comment cards opposing the sale of rabbit meat at Whole Foods and to let store managers know how they feel about the issue. In addition, a Change.org petition is posted claiming more than 10,000 signatures of people who are against the company’s retail sale of rabbit meat.

The bunny lobby is furiously at work.  :argh: I welcome that Whole Foods sells rabbits.  :yahoo:

Ridiculous.  Meat is meat.  As long as it meets FDA standards, shut yer hole.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Some of the comments are idiotic.  :mental:

This one stands out.

Rabbits are friends, not food. I'm a vegan and think the idea of selling any dead animal is wrong but selling butchered companion animals is just crazy. What next? Dog meat? Disgusting. I will be boycotting Whole Foods as all my friends are.

And you have a very unhealthy, cruel diet! You are also responsible for global warming! Go vegan, save animals, your health and the planet! The facts about meat consumption are in. Read up.

BS. Rabbits can do serious damage with those hind feet if the want to.

They're only the 3rd most popular pet if you count all the people that raise them for food, or the idiots that buy them at Easter and then end up giving them to someone that raises them for food.

Nuts, our State allows dogs to be raised as a food source as are cats, hogs, cattle, goats, horses.  We can raise deer for the meat and their pelts. mink and ferrets for clothing, rabbits for food and pelts.

We can put pens outside to raise chickens for their eggs and to eat, and the milk cows for their gift to humans of all the wonderful things to be made from their milk-----butter, cream, cheese, and 100 other things made by their existence on earth.

When the milk cow gets old the meat from their body can feed and some how enrich
soil for the planters.

We are not monkeys living in trees eating just the leaves or fruit off the vine.

These deluded   people need to check out the life time of humans and other species to see how their species live the longest.

Gosh....rabbits are rodents and very prolific.  A doe can have anywhere from 2-90 kits a year. 

These idiots sure wouldn't have survived early America or the pioneer days.

I plan on butchering a bunch next weekend. I hope they don't find out!
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
