1055....Burning Bunny Keeps People Warm, Cozy

First heard this story on Lowell Green's CFRA rant fest.

Apparently animal rights advocates have their panties in a knot again. This time it is about the bunny burning that the city of Stockholm is doing these days. Stockholm, Sweden that is.

The Swedish capital is just loaded with wild rabbits here, wild rabbits there, rabbits everywhere and the city of Stockholm shoots thousands of the rascally little rabbits spread across the green spaces of the city and sends their bodies to be burned as heating fuel, a practice which has enraged animal rights groups.

My personal view of the situation would be to open up an immigration office in Italy. Italian immigrants would take care of the bugs, as in bunny, problem in no time at all.

I digress.

6,000 of the buggers were dispatched and immolated last year; half of that total have met the same fate in '09. A subcontractor is using the fuel from their bodies to warm buildings, and, presumably, the people inside them.

Interestingly, although the cremation of rabbits has Animal Rights Sweden pissed off they are strangely silent when it comes to human cremation.

C'est weird, eh?
