I have a pet rabbit, and I was reading this book called The Way We Eat : Why Our Food Choices Matter by Peter Singer, and I was shocked to read the following...

"Mammals killed for food in the U.S.--unlike chickens, ducks, and turkeys--are required by law to be stunned before killed. No, that's not quite right: the U.S. Department of Agriculture ludicrously classifies rabbits as poultry, although they are mammals, thus allowing producers to avoid the legal requirement to stun them before slaughter."

Just thought I'd share that with you all.

You know, my dad said they got a pair of bunnies when they were kids and they were poor so the bunnies were supposed to be raised and eaten. Well, when they got big enough, no one in the family could eat them. In fact, they left them there and they started breeding till they had too many bunnies!!! They had to sell them off which of course, gave them money to buy food they could eat. LOL!

Gah! I didn't need to hear that...i' had the cutest pet bunny, Mr. Magoo. I loved that little guy so much! He'd make a squeaking noise whenever I came home, like a dog!

I had a friend with a pet bunny grin.gif he was house trained..... sorta. He tended to sit in the box and poop just outside. I still remember introducing my husband to this woman, as we came up she was just taking her dogs for a walk {one 3 legged the other with severe brething issues lol.gif} she invited us to go on into the house, saying over her shoulder, "don't let Mr Bingly out" lol.gif My husband looked at me and said " I fear to ask what a "Mr Bingly" is" lol.gif Later that same weekend, my friend, who also had a pet sheep {in a city no less, the neighbors hated her} anyway, for some reason the sheep stood under a red knap sack that had been washed and the die ran turning the front half of the sheep bright pink. lol.gif

I remember a while back I had rabbit at this restaurant called The Stinking Rose. I cant even remember what it tasted like. I'd never try it again though.

Hi
i have a pet rabbit and although he is very friendly he still kicks and sometimes scratches thats just what they do, he will be getting desexed so he doesn't spray and mark his territory. About the ant's try putting smaller amounts of veggies out to give him a chance to eat them before the ant's do then give him more later.

With more and more attention he will settle down
