Bunny Rabbits used as Fuel to Heat Homes in Sweden

reply to post by TheFaiThfulSkepTic




Your post made my day.

It has been a very bad day too.

Though I guess my day is better than the poor bunnie's day.





Imagine the amount of energy this guy could produce.




Better yet, I am thinking yummy.

I still would rather see them use the rabbits to feed people.


Raist

Why not move towards solar power. That way, we do not have to snuff out more life and we no longer have to rely on these corporations in order to heat and power our homes.

Self reliance. Self sufficiency. Another step towards eradicating our dependency on others to ensure our comfort.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

Oh poor little bunny rabbits! Run bunnies! Run!!!!
I have never heard of such a thing. On one hand it would allow for cheaper fuel for the poor, or serve as a food source, but it is disturbing.

Wouldn't it be more viable to have the bunnies run on treadmills linked to an electric generator? Dangle a carrot in front of them and reap the energy rewards.

I would presume this would create far more energy and far less dead bunnies.

Surely I can't be smarter than Swedish engineers though.

I totally agree with you!!!!

Do you know how much Hasenpfeffer with Johnny cake that would make?!

Now I am hungry again. Thanks alot OP. Now I will have to eat before I go off to bed...........

I started reading your post and in my head I heard Elmer Fudd.

This is really going to help me with getting people to accept my new business!

Come on down, Come one come all to:

Baron Von Godzilla's Destroy-A-Kitten!!

Having a bad day? Why not take out your rage on a lovable kitten?

Remember, at BVG's DAK, we supply the kittens; we supply the weapons; we even supply the ammo.

You supply the homicidal bloodlust.

To be serious though, have the Swedes heard of wood? Hemp? Cow chips?

Why are bunnies what the choose to use?

WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME SWEDEN!? YOU USED TO BE COOL!

I take it PETA hasn't heard of this yet? I guess maybe they're more concerned about flies.

Buy a cute, loveable basset hound. Swear to god, they look so cute and docile but they will eat every rabit within a miles radius! .. mine even brough most of them to the door step for me to eat as well (I think they were presents).

Vet had said it was a natural instinct for em to eat bunnies.

Bunnies are warm and fuzzy which equates into warm and fuzzy homes.

Well, I can't argue with you there, they probably stitch into a nice quilt as well.

But damn, I thought the Swedes were all about technology. Surely there is an replenishable resource other than bunnies.

BUNNIES!

NOOOOOOOOOOO

Well you know what they say, bunnies multiply like rabbits now that's a renewable resource

Well it seems that not only a cat or dog but also

A bunny is for life not just for christmas

Should be the motto in swedish pet shops as apparently

The rabbits, not native to Sweden, are mainly the offspring of pets released by owners,

news.bbc.co.uk...

I am suprised Bunnies are not native to sweden they seem to be everywhere else in europe and also the Artic....
What is tragic for me is that I bet you could go to a Pet shop in the capital and buy a Baby Bunny Rabbit, but at the same time these more elderely ones are unwanted and strays and therefore hunted down.

This story brings back for me memories of a very famous film/cartoon from the late 70's Watership Down. With the nasty & bad & evil "Black Rabbit" who I wouldnt mind the swedes using for fuel!

In the UK which had masses of people and children walking out of cinemas crying and caused endless nightmares across the land.

If you have never seen it, and want to know life from a Bunnies point of veiw it is a must, its like Bambi with more realistic survival of the fittest in it, quite gruesome in places, for a cartoon you may be suprised much like early anime.

Art Garfunkel created the famous theme tune here "Bright Eyes"


Well it seemed upsetting to me and I remember my freinds to being in tears, though we were all very very young befre age 7 etc and I have never watched it since as to be honest the memories are quite strong still, and remember it clearly!

Here it is BEWARE WARNING EVEN THOUGH A CARTOON CAUTION WITH VERY YOUNG CHILDREN may occur also do not watch before bed yourself no matter how tough or old, nightmares will ensue lol, well for the young ones they are a must.

I am sure this film will be remebered by many, and never forgotten if watched now.



Maybe a new version could be made with a "Swedish Black Bunny" or it should be sent by Peta to all homes in stockholm!

Kind Regards,

Elf

Wow to add some Bunnie Facts I never knew, just wow!

A rabbit may tear apart her cage out of mating frustration?

Not soo fluffy and kind then, maybe we could synthesise that driving/hormone/chemical and make it available as the ultimate famale viagra.

Bunnies can't throw up.
They can gag,
but they can't vomit.

Best for bunnies to stay sober then!

A group of bunnies is called a herd.

Lol Round them up, Bunny Herder.

And further:

A 4 pound rabbit will drink as much water as a 20 pound dog

How do desert Bunnies survive?

The only place a rabbit sweats is through the pads on its feet

omg lol

Predators can literally scare a rabbit to death

That is so sad, but maybe means a less painfull end, so sad though.

Rabbits can see behind them, but have blind spot in front of their face.

And I did know this one but I bet many dont

Bunnies Dont Hibernate

And this is the ultimate in Cute and cuddly as they seem to have a much nicer temprement and less self obsessed and stuck up than felines:

Bunny Rabbits can purr similar to a cat

All you could ever want to know about rabbits and more
Ive never heard a Rabbit purr but the thought is nice lol.

What amazing creatures, liberate the stockholm bunnies I say, ship them somewhere else.

I have heard this. It is true, they also can coo too. I had a couple of rabbits before until an unfortunate incident when I left the cage unlocked and my German Shepard decided to have lunch.

I suppose I don't have a major issue with it, even if it is a little weird. The rabbits have already been culled and if not this, then they're headed for either a dumpster or a landfill. Now if they were growing rabbits specifically for this purpose or something, I would have a problem with that.

There might also be a case to be made against culling the rabbits from a public park, but as it stands, though, I don't think it matters much how the dead bunnies are disposed of.

Rock, your not gonna beleive this, I want a basset hound wife says they slobber to much. . Our neighbors have a wienerdog and there suppose to go after rabbits, but this one is scared of birds so it won't go outside
Time to break out the 'holy hand grenades' then send the remains to Sweden

I don't see a problem really.It could become one if it is not regulated and the last thing i want is large factory type farms popping up when they run out of wild rabbits.But as long as it is getting rid of a real problem with rabbit populations and getting some good out of it(energy production).I think its fine.

World watcher they are not killing them specifically to burn them for energy production,they are doing what they do all the time which is culling a very pervasive species.Only this time they are doing something useful with the bodies.

[edit on 16-10-2009 by Solomons]

Burning bunnies, or any other species for energy seems wrong especially if they are killing the bunnies just for that purpose.

Burning things already dead due to natural causes would be okay, burning garbage for energy is also okay, but killing things only to burn them for energy doesn't seem right.
