Bunny Fuel


No, nothing about playmates. Instead, they're shooting feral rabbits in Stockholm and turning them into fuel: http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,654916,00.html. Sensible, correct for the environment and natural fauna, and an obvious solution to a man made problem. But, of course, not politically correct as it runs counter to the overriding mantra that it's wrong to kill, KILL defenseless animals. We have the same kind of shit in the U.S. when it comes to deer, especially in urban areas like Austin. The obvious, OBVIOUS solution is for professional sharpshooters to thin the herd, harvesting the venison for the food bank or other charities. No, can't do that. After all, Bambi was a deer and his mother was killed by a hideous hunter man and why can't we all just live in peace and coexist and the Russians love their children, too and oil companies are greedy and war is not nice for children and other living things, etc. etc. Goddamn it, it gets frustrating living at the beck and call of a politically idiotic majority that doesn't have the collective common sense to know their ass from a hole in the ground. So, we watch stunted herds, constantly living on the edge of starvation, pouring out new Bambis by the score while feeding not only on expensive landscaping but also eliminating emerging hardwoods, and turning undeveloped "wild" areas into deserts of a sort. Deserts that reflect the addled thinking of a generation of tree huggers and their admirers.


The general hunting season opens on November 7th in Texas. Lock and load. Mother Nature approves of this message.
