For or against: large-scale bunny boiling?

A peculiar news item which appears to have divided the Swedes.

And I wonder how it would go with an international audience.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8309156.st...

"The bodies of thousands of rabbits are fuelling a heating plant in central Sweden, local newspapers say."

Sensible or horrific?

Would you want your house heated by burned bunnies, even if it helped the environment?

And what on earth category is Y!A going to suggest for this?

---------------

Based on your question, we think it belongs in one of these categories:

Suggested Category

*Science & Mathematics > Chemistry

Food & Drink > Cooking & Recipes

Entertainment & Music > Polls & Surveys

Education & Reference > Homework Help

Food & Drink > General - Food & Drink

------------

Hmm, let's give it to Polls...

    I know I am probably going to sound a little morbid here. Sweden currently employs hunters to remove the rabbits and before burning the rabbits they were frozen and stored. I personally do not see a problem with using the rabbits as fuel in this case. The rabbits are being killed anyways because they are not native to Sweden and are causing environmental problems. Rabbits also multiply very quickly.

    I know this practice would never be approved in the U.S. where I live, but I think it is viable solution for Sweden.

    Well maybe it should be under the science side of the house. As for them using it to heat homes that is debatable really, Sounds as if the Swedes have just as many rules on things as we do here in the US. Many do not like the fact others eat meat such as cow and deer. We should all eat veggies like most of the animal kingdom. I don't agree they are in the food chain so I eat them. As for the rabbits maybe they could also eat them it could take care of a hungry problem. I guess they would complain even if they were hung with a new rope.
