I may appear to be a complete pussy, but I couldn't bring myself to eat something that cute.

I can't decide if I want to eat it or ride it.

Wait, that didn't come out right at all.

A woman at work breeds Flemish Giant Rabbits. Jesus on a stick these things are huge. She brought one to work for a Christmas party and the farker was 25 pounds! That's just wrong. I kept wanting to tell the kids petting it, "Run away!" We're inching into Night of the Lepus territory here.

Don't worry, they'll come skinned, deboned and flattened in neat little plastic trays. MMMMM delish! Just remember to eat some veggies now and then or you're body will consume itself.

This. I'm all for the raising of animals for consumption, but somewhere between my second and third bites, I'm pretty sure I'd hear a baby crying somewhere.

Would love to put a saddle on it + have a hop around the neighbourhood.

I have to give subby credit for getting two Monty Python references in a single headline. Doubly so for keeping it short too.

And damn, that's one big rabbit.

I don't think these bunnies can fight.

FTA:The breed had only survived in two isolated areas of Spain, he added, because the giant rabbits were bred by enthusiasts as pets.


The species entire survival strategy seems to be reproduce faster than being eaten.

If I remember correctly, they have no nutritional value at all. Some French explorers, trapped for the winter near Hudsons Bay thought they had it made because of the abundance of rabbits. They were found sometime later starved to death because all they ate was rabbit....or maybe I dreamt this...

Thanks for doing it so I didn't have to.

The rabbit in the picture even reminds me of Frank.
