“...shipped to a plant in central Sweden where they are burned and used to heat homes.”

The plant is in Karlskoga - Ripley's Believe it or Not! featured this a couple weeks ago.

“The plant's supplier, Konvex, a company that produces biofuels from animals...is a subsidiary of Danish group Daka Biodiesel which says on its Web site that it produces and markets biodiesel and bio fuel oil using animal fat extracted from ‘by-products from slaughterhouses and primary agriculture.’”

“I agree. Why burn perfectly good food”

Not very good eating... they are loaded with parasites.

Well, they don't just use rabbits - farm animals get into the act as well - Söylent Grön, as it were.

[Graybeard58:] I agree. Why burn perfectly good food

[JSteff:] Not very good eating... they are loaded with parasites.

... and not particularly nutritious - If one is ever stuck in the woods and relying upon rabbit for a singular food source, remember to eat the blood meats (heart, liver, kidneys) or risk protein deficiency.

Still, all in all - it fills the belly, and I would agree with Graybeard that it shouldn't be wasted.

Do not know. Just did a Google image search for giant rabbits. My guess is it ate whatever it wanted. They were probably captive bred for size.
