<HTML>My late grandad used to make bunny stew with cloves. Very nice too, but my sister would only eat it if she was convinced it was chicken. To this day she is still unsure as to what she was eating.</HTML>

<HTML>I'm not usually squeamish, but I do draw the line at eating bunnies. I like the flavor and the texture's not bad, but I just can't get past the point of them being cute! It's a good thing chickens are ugly! Cows may be cute, but they're pretty dumb, so I don't mind eating them. In fact, I rather enjoy them. I lived on a farm for a huge part of my life, so I've eaten just about every kind of domestic farm animal. But give me a good Maine lobster, Alaskan King Crab and Nova Scotia scallops anyday! (unfortunately, I'm developing a nasty allergy to shellfish! dammit!)</HTML>

<HTML>I don't eat meat. But I'll cook it for other people if that's what they want. As I think I may have mentioned before, I'm a vegetarian, not a vegetotalitarian.</HTML>

Um, and rabbits are how intelligent? Anthropomorphic, that is. Like these dolphins that are getting caught up in tuna nets .... nobody seems to give a ---- for the poor old tuna, do they?</HTML>

>Um, and rabbits are how intelligent?
1: You don't see a lot of rabbit road kill
2: Have you ever "tipped" a rabbit? I think not! (unless you were at the Playboy Club...and that's another story all around!)
Do Brits have Cow Tipping? If not, perhaps I should explain...
Bored country/redneck teenagers who have been imbibing copious amounts of @#$%& alcohol and even @#$%& beer stolen from their parents' cupboards drive their beat up Trans Ams to a remote field and sneak up on stupid cows (the ones who sleep while they stand), and push them over all while trying to avoid getting splatted with mud/dung/blood. This is very bad for the poor cow who can actually die if a rib punctures a lung or it gets so scared it has a heart attack. Although, it is rather fun.
see, a rabbit would NEVER let you do that!</HTML>

<HTML>Oh yeah?
1: Rabbit road kill is pretty common round my neck of the woods.
2: They might not let you tip them, but there's a way of hunting them that uses a pole to break their necks - because they try to hide by staying still, it's possible to sneak up behind them while a dog distracts them in front. It's a bit gross, and you're much closer to the thing than when you shoot them, so feel more awkward about it, but on the plus side it's a quicker death than a bad airrifle shot. And it's a lot more honest than buying animals ready killed, gutted and wrapped in plastic.
The other thing about cow tipping is that many breeds of cow cannot actually get up having fallen over sideways...
Squid are bloody clever - as clever as dogs, by all accounts. Occtopus species hold the non-mammal record though - they can learbn really quickly to open jars or do tricks...</HTML>
