Feeding rabbits to poor a mindless proposal
Re: Don’t waste money moving rabbits; eat them, Letters, Aug. 8 2013 Vancouver Sun
How
many times do we have to hear such primitive and mindless proposals as to feed
rabbits to the poor? This does nothing to address the root causes of poverty,
nor does it even begin to address the ethical implications of a society that
exploits its weakest and most vulnerable members for personal use.
Can we not move beyond the mindset that we are more deserving of life than other species?
Domestic rabbit abandonment is a problem instigated by humans. Suggesting that these animals be fed to the needy is heartless and impractical.
We can feed both body and mind and advance our humanity without killing animals.

'When so much mistreatment of animals continues, when the cries of thirsty beasts from our railway cars die out unheard, when so much brutality prevails in our slaughterhouses, when animals meet a painful death in our kitchens, when animals suffer incredibly from merciless men and are turned over to the cruel play of children, WE ALL BEAR THE GUILT FOR IT.
