    Sweden not keen on Rabbit fuel

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8309156.stm
    Residents in Stockholm are divided over reports that rabbits are being used to make biofuel.

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

    The city of Stockholm has an annual cull of thousands of rabbits to protect the capital's parks and green spaces.
    Well they are better to eat if you ask me, but is this any better than vivisection? (ok, theyre dead anyway, but still ) No doubt the Animal Rights movement will be all over this, in their own unique paramilitary fashion.

    If it were rat carcasses I doubt there'd be the same problem.

    Re: Sweden not keen on Rabbit fuel

    Why are people annoyed here, is it the culling of the rabbits or the fact that they're being burned? Seems like a good plan to me, although don't think the rabbits are being used to create biofuel, they are the biofuel!
    I don't mean to sound cold, or cruel, or vicious, but I am so that's the way it comes out.

    Re: Sweden not keen on Rabbit fuel

    weeeeellll.. if they're killing them anyway, to control population numbers, and they're dead BEFORE they sling em in the cooker... that's three problems sorted straight off the bat, surely?

    Numbers are kept manageable, disposal of the bods is taken care of, and you get heat & energy out of the little blighters. Win Win Win as far as I can see...

    just to keep this clear....it's bio fuel... not bio ethanol. So it's for power stations, not cars.
