I hate animal cruelty.

I love animals as much as the next person but I'm confused as to how this qualifies as animal cruelty. People eat animals every single day. Some people eat rabbit.

I would consider this to be more of a case of human cruelty.

It's a hoax/ or a joke:

I have nothing against eating rabbits, even rabbits you've named. But it seems other people care, and taunting them is kinda mean.

However, donating money to some guy who claims he's going to eat meat unless you make him rich? Beyond dumb. His hamburger may not have a name (although his baloney might), so are they gonna just keep paying him so he becomes a vegetarian?

Oh, thank god. No humans were harmed in the making of that site.

But I really do feel a craving for meat now.

I guess it just feels like cruelty to me - killing a baby rabbit unless people give you money. I see your point that people eat rabbits every day, but somehow this is different to me.

It's possible I need to draw a brighter line between people and animals, but I've never been very good at it.

ETA: I'm slow at typing, but I'm taking Sue's word for it and feeling much relieved.

I assumed the guy wasn't going to kill the bunny. But is it wrong that I was kind of enjoying the fact that people sent money, because it would be just so dumb?

I mean, people gave to that save karen site, for real.

Not looking at the site because dialup. But I think once you designate it as pet, you cross a line if you eat it. Barring imminent starvation, of course. Naming!= pet. My mom used to name the chickens on the farm so she could laugh in even more evil delight when she ate them (the chickens hated her and pecked her every chance.Trauma.)

It's sites like that that make me wonder why www.buyjessag5.com hasn't been snapped up yet. By me.

I assumed he was going to kill it anyway, myself. But that's driven largely by my liking of rabbit meat, and dislike of their smell.

Yes! I dunno -- Karen doesn't bother me at all. She seemed very up front about it, though incredibly mercenary, of course. If I had no pride or sense of self, I might try "Hi, I'm dumb and not ugly. Pay me."

As is, I'm reduced to a day job.

I got totally hooked watching the Project Greenlight marathon today on Bravo. I missed the last few hours, but it was so addicting. I like Ben Affleck much better as a producer.
