North Korea encouraging citizens to eat fluffy bunnies
2006-09-14
North Korea is encouraging its people to breed rabbits for food, the impoverished regime's official media reported Wednesday. "Rabbit-breeding farms have been built to rapidly increase parent rabbits which have a high fertility rate, grow fast and produce much meat with less feed," the state-run Korean Central News Agency reported.

The report said rabbits were "the most economically profitable domestic animals" due to the mountainous country's limited arable land. "Rabbits are being raised by collective and widespread methods at factories, enterprises, cooperative farms and schools, to say nothing of stock-breeding farms," KCNA said.

#24  #22 Frank - Bunnies have very delicate digestive systems - that much slime would kill them.

And they're incapable of vomiting, which would be the basic reaction of most creatures upon encountering Jimmuh.

#23  There's also Purina Monkey Chow, I've heard, but never seen!

Monkey Chow Diaries: ... can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind, I'm about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: "a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes." Maybe I'll lose weight. Maybe I'll gain superhuman monkey strength. Maybe I'll go crazy. Maybe it's too late.

#19  #18: "Purina Rabbit Chow"

Well, all South Korea has to do is start shipping Rabbit Chow to NorK by the bargeload. I hope the population isn't forced to eat it directly, but it would make more sense if they did.

And they should throw in a few bags of Purina Idiot Chow here and there for their microcephalic dictator. No need to label who things are for. They'll know who to give it to when they read the label.

If they need fertilizer, they can use their dictator. If they can get anything to grow from it, they can say that they got something useful out of him after all. :-)

BTW: Didn't someone say "Let them eat cake!" some time ago shortly before she lost her head? I think "Let them eat rabbit!" is close enough that the result bears repeating.

UUmmm, I know that it's probably going to sound like a joke, we fed ours "Purina Rabbit Chow" along with any spoiled or leftover veggies from the garden, also all the "Cut Away" veggie waste, they also loved an occasional Blackberry vine, (Complete with thorns) to gnaw on.

As for the "Bunny Waste" it's great fertilizer, just let it sit and rot for a year, then turn it into the garden soil, a endless cycle so to speak.

#17  I think we should send Michael Moore over there to film this. Does anyone remember the similar scenes in Roger and Me?

#16  Rabbit isn't greasy Cyber Sarge. In fact it is extremely low in fat. I doubt the cholesterol impact is much at all.

#12  I am at a loss for words. Rabbits are for cuddling and caring for and buying presents. You would be eating God's most beautiful and most favorite creation.

Not you Brer, you're safe. It's hard to kill a bunny when it blogs on Rantburg.....

#11  MMMMM Bunny! Kind of on the greasy side but I doubt colesteral is a problem in the magic hermit kingdom. Maybe we should send some spices/veggies to go with wabbits? I know what I am having for lunch!

#10  My dad used to raise rabbits in Cuba. They are indeed easy to raise, and their favorite food was available if you had a machete and enough willpower to get your butt off bed. The problem was, when Cuba became really poor, bunny theft became constant, at least twice a week, and after a few months of that crap, dad gave up the bunny raising altogether, and concentrated on black market activities instead. And North Korea is even poorer than Cuba is.

And we're a shitload more intelligent than a damn chicken.

#8  #5: We lived on rabbits for years. This might be the first intelligible news out of NK ever.

Yep, Rabbit is very good food, ate many. About as easy to raise as chickens.

#7  There ya go, Gorb. Whatever it takes to feed the bunnies could be fed directly to the folks, without waiting. And some of the bunny food is used to keep them alive, until 'harvested', and a great deal is turned into ... well, bunny waste.

The old "you can't get something for nothing" problem.

Next up: a perpetual motion machine to generate limitless electricity!

#4  "BREAD, LAND, + FREEDOM", etc > you know, why all fluffy bunnies everywhere and anywhere are owned by the Gummermint, lest they fill their fluffy minds wid thoughts of decadent Capitalist Westernist lettuces and revolt against proper Bunny Socialism and OWG.
