Aw, shucks RSPCA strikes again.  I wonder what happens during the pig hunt.

"Rabbits are considered a pest.  There are farmers employed full time for rabbit eradication."

Yet the carcasses must be treated with respect.  How are they disposed of?  Composted?  With a tasteful ceremony?

The comparison to throwing your dead grandmother around at her funeral was a bit random - wasn't it?

Maybe they can replace it with a live dwarf throwing contest.

You mean I was practicing for nothing? All those hours, no, days I spent throwing dead rabbits was for nothing?
There is no justice in this world.

Ya know, I can actually remember when Australia banned dwarf tossing.  It was a dwarf organization that was the most hacked off . . . seems some of the little people were making great money donning padded clothing and letting brawny Aussies see how far they could throw them!

So has ANYONE asked the dead rabbits how they feel about this??
