For those who won’t read the article (I usually don’t before commenting lol), he was in an animal shelter, not out hunting in the wild.

Not sure about this. Rabbit is definitely on the food chain for a lot of the world. Rabbit is a Friday night special at a local restaurant.

Crazy. When I was a kid, we hunted em, killed em, skinned em, chopped em up, cooked em and then ate em. Same thing with squirrels and deer. Some folks in these parts still do it today.

It's dangerous to hang around with bunny-huggers, kat krazies and puppy-lovers.

Steer clear.

And I say that as a person who likes animals.

Br’er Rabbit in the wild, go for it. Fuzzy-wuzzy bun-bun - not so cool.

But he wasn’t charged for trespassing or destruction of property. He was charged with animal torture as a first offense.

I guess the question is whether or not he enjoyed it, or just needed better technique. A disgusting case to judge.

At the age of ten I got my Daisy BB gun. I went into the woods behind my house and shot a wild rabbit right in the head, instant kill. I showed my dad back at the house. He agreed it was a fine shot and then made me gut it, skin it out, cook and eat it.

After that I only shot at fixed paper targets.

Some of the animal rights people are calling for an amendment to the Constitution to establish constitutional rights for animals. That would be animal rights against human rights. The buildup of activism is enough, that we may see moves to do that in the near future.

There is a dirt road north of kumiiva valley in nevada that goes in the direction from lovelock to gerlach. On a 20 mile stretch of that road at dusk, you can easily splatter 100 bunny rabbits per night Sometimes 3 or 4 simultaneously

“...and were providing grief counseling services for staff.”

These people should give up eating all meat products if yhey are traumatized be a beheaded bunny. Think what would happen if they saw their hamberger being killed and cut up.
