That sound you hear is PETA getting its knickers in a twist

In response to rampant rabbits, a town in Sweden is now heating homes through bunny power.

When reached for comment, a Mr. Bugs Bunny said, "Of course you realize, this means war".

Sounds reasonable to me. Love the poll on the other linked site "Could this be done in NYC with rats?" is one of the poll options.

Rabbits also make a tasty stew.

On an unrelated note, I'm not allowed within 50 feet of PeTA's building in New York due to an IRL trolling expedition.

Rabbits are very tasty. MMMmmmm I am making myself hungry just thinking about them.

Could be worse, they could be heating the town with Sea Kittens

Allen, who is Quiet

that would be worse. if I recall correctly, sea kittens don't have nearly enough fat to power a city.

Please elaborate

My western civ professor told the class about how when he was in college he turned around their whole throwing fake blood on fur coats and threw real blood on some PETA members protesting.

He was already my favorite professor before that but that made me like him even more.

It was an incident which included myself wearing a bacon-patterned suit (a suit that looks like it's made of bacon) and a cowboy hat, with leather boots breakdancing to the Revernd Horton Heat's "Eat Beef" song outside the front door and in the main lobby.

PETA doesn't wear knickers, as they were tested on animals.

Crap, he tricked us into giving him page views.

Um... "a town in Sweden"? That's the bleedin' capital, not some bum-boinkin' community in Härjedalen!

Also, I don't give a damn about PETA. I'll eat my tortured birds, chicken menstruations, pig ass, baby cows and sea kittens without a tinge of remorse.

What is pig ass referring to? Do you mean bacon from the loin?

... Pig Ass is Ham.

I thought it was bacon?

Good news everyone! I discovered a chart showing all the major cuts of pork.

Bacon comes from the belly. Ham comes from the rear legs and rump. The butt is actually the shoulder.

Dammit Baer, every time! I laugh every time you start with that phrase.

Wait... the loin's near the back? How does that make sense?

I'm more interested in knowing if this is where the term "picnic" came from.

"1748 (in Chesterfield's "Letters"), but rare before c.1800 as an Eng. institution, from Fr. piquenique (1692), perhaps a reduplication of piquer "to pick, peck," from O.Fr. (see pike (2)), or the second element may be nique "worthless thing," from a Gmc. source. Originally a fashionable pot-luck social affair, not necessarily out of doors. Figurative sense of "something easy" is from 1886."

I'm going to go with "No", then. Thanks Sera.

Such ups and downs for PETA this week. I'm sure they're all pissed over bunnies getting burned, but they're probably thrilled that a vegetarian spider has been found.

Oh for fucks sake... it rears it's children? It raises them in a web spun home? This is the lamest spider I've ever heard of.

What you meant to say was "It's a trap".

And I knew the bunny slaughter happened in Stockholm, but from the wording of the article it felt like the burning might be somewhere else. Not trying to slight anyone.
