Sweden burning rabbits to heat homes!
This is NOT a story on the Onion!
I don’t often comment on random stories I see on the news. Occasionally one comes along that just makes me say a few words. The title is 100% accurate. According to a story on ABC News International, they are in fact burning rabbits for fuel. Holy shit! Talk about being seriously friggin cruel.
Here I always thought Sweden was filled with hot women, wooden shoes and windmills. I always pictured idyllic scenes of wind blown grass, cute girls in little white hats and lots of beer. Or is that the Netherlands? Turns out, Sweden is a place of rabbit killers. Not just rabbit killers but people using them as logs for a fire!
Well, I don’t have much more to say about that. I’m not some PETA loving, anti meat eating kinda guy, but seriously, burning an animal for fuel is just not right. Build some damn wind farms will you? Open up a red light district, legalize prostitution and put piston’s on all the beds so the all the sex will generate electricity. Put in water turbines, solar power, have all your high school kids ride stationary bikes, do anything! But good god, don’t throw frozen rabbits into a furnace!
Ok, fine, you are being flooded by rabbits in your cities. Can’t you think of something better to do than freeze them and burn them? A rabbit was the first pope(not really)! There’s a whole holiday, that was stolen from some pagan tradition, based on rabbits! What would Bugs Bunny think!
Maybe I am just over reacting but the images of thousands of frozen rabbits being chucked into a furnace just sends chills down the back. And yes, I get the point that they don’t have an energy crisis, and that its pest control, but I still favor the electricity generating sex beds as an alternative.
