OMG! You Use Your Aimals for Meat?! But They're Cute!
Ebay wank and animal rights wanks all rolled into one!
jnlldnx posts a a thread about their show rabbits. Squees! and "OMG! So Cute!"'s abound. Until iamgobsmacked comes along and with the obvious intention of trpping the OP asks They are adorable, so you keep them all as pets? what about the ones that don't quite come up to show quality, do you keep them, or sell them for meat?
To which jnlldnx replies:...I sell my non showables as pets, or as meat. Though alot of my others are sold as breeders or show rabbits. I can't keep all of them...
mykitmoStorms in on the charger of persumptions and Peta propaganda:I have posted more than once on this board that the vast majority of rabbits lead lives of he-- & your statement is exactly why rabbit rescuers have a problem with breeders. If rabbits are not used as mini-breeding factories, then they are used for food, fur & the pharmaceutical industry. And let's not forget the pet store industry with Easter coming up. Breeders should be ashamed for partaking in a practice, where the majority of baby bunnies do NOT survive three months past Easter. Sure they are adorable, but they are Not a pet for a child to be bought for a holiday decoration. If they are not killed by poor handling & feeding, they are usually abandoned to a shelter, or left on the side of a road to "go wild."

>=0!
I can't wrap my head around the fact that someone who is breeding for the 'love' of animals could sell their babies for meat. Guess they're all just 'stock' to some.
blowin'inthewindMakes the obvious logical jump to how OP would treat their children.I guess those photos would not be so fun to share?

I hope all your human offspring are "show quality?"
The Op tries to defend themselves with reason:To everyone else that just turned this into a drama post. Too bad. Rabbits are a multi-purpose animal. It doesn't mean that I treat them any differently then any other rabbit owner, or breeder would. They are originally bred for food, fur, meat, and more recently pets. And going for meat is way better then being dumped in an animal shelter,where theres he chance it'll be killed and wasted anyways. You guys asked. I answered truthfully. It always amazes me that people can go out and eat a hamburger, and nobody screams creulty to animals to the farmers because they are killing cows. But when it comes to cute fluffy animals that are also bred for food, the lynch mob seems to surface in full force.
lovesmydogsDemonstrates the fact she in unaware of the fact calves are rather cute too.jnlldxn, your honest answers to the questions sure ruined my enjoyment of the pictures and learning that there was such a thing as show rabbits......
sam-sherMakes one wonder if she can't even look at pics of vegetables without becoming ill.I thank you for being honest about your rabbits.
But are you on crack or what?!?!?!?!
You take beautiful pictures of your rabbits and they say we sell them off for meat. GROSS!!!!!!!!
That is like taking a picture of your future dinner.
If you get roasted on here it is your own fault, you brought in on yourself.
nocturnalgoddessHas no problem with other animals eating the rabbits but not humans.Sold for human consumption YUCK!! Now I think I could have handled being sold as feeders a lot better with the understanding that other animals have to eat also.
iamgobsmackedis offended that the OP dare insinuate that they started this!Uh How do you arrive at this? because I asked a question? I didn't make the answer, I merely asked the question. I have shown enormous restraint in responding to this. I am not responsible for the feeling of the others here, although I do support their stand 200%. So get a grip, and BTW stop biting your fingernails you are going to get a serious nail bed infection.
Lots of craziness all around to enjoy.
