Are you interested or uninterested in rabbits or bunnies?

Oh, I'm pretty fussy about meat too... Although I also eat geese or turkey, I don't particularly like beef, and I am totally against eating sheep or goat meat... As of the cute bunnies... I did mention them... I referred to the cute bunnies hopping around in Hugh Heffner's mansion. There's a marvellous scene in Hot Shots 2 involving Tukut Chinchilla (Fluffy Bunny-Feet) Unfortunately I can't find that scene on YouTube any more (except from a version dubbed in Italian...)

Aaaahh, what the heck! Here goes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2RfKtcp5Ko The original English lines are: "Topper Harley?" "Maybe once... Now they call me Tukut Chinchilla" "What does it mean?" "Fluffy bunny-feet"

Hi stvasile, when I saw your name here I knew I wasn't going to have to suffer hearing about cute bunnies for a change. I note you aren't as fussy about your meat as you are with your herbs. I would never taste pigeon either as it would be just the same as eating a flying rat and I've yet to be that desperate, if I ever become so I'll opt for the grasshoppers or bugs instead. Since I started this discussion though I have a yen for rabbit, probably in protest at all these cute bunnies everywhere. At least you have been spared a visit from the blue rabbit, she only drops in on the ones who mention said cute bunnies.

Hi sunny, what on earth kind of zoo have you been visting that has rabbits on display? I have a fondness too for the tale of Peter Rabbit whose father was put in a pie by Mr McGregor. When I added the bunny for adult bit I'd completely forgotten about the Hugh Heffner connection, I was thinking about a local place which repudately had a bunny girl several decades ago, and I know which local woman in her 50's it was meant to be, but am now convinced it was just malicious gossip. Must say I feel a bit let down by the blue bunny on here, it's not everyday one gets a discussion dedicated to oneself.

hi

there are a few zoos that have not much to display (more like kids zoo). and how could you not remember the bunny for adult..its globally famous and has its own range of perfumes and deodorants. and i have heard its a huge business in west. and Hi jb....you seem very happy indeed.....

The rabbit plagues in Australia were quite some time ago and the problem is nowhere near as big these days. Not even close!

Hi James, now why did I completely not expect that answer from an Australian, is the plague of plague ridden rabbits there now a thing of the past? I wouldn't want to eat an Australian rabbit, not that I've ever eaten one yet but I know the day will come when someone puts it on my plate and swears blind it's a piece of chicken. Our Easter bunnies are made of wax and stuck on candles, not choclolaty in the least. I admit in great shame I only saw the crowd scene in MP so have no idea what fierce bunny you refer to.

That rabbit's DYNOMITE!!!

No bunnies in Greece? How sad not to be able to walk through the park and watch them.I like feeding the ducks too... As for the cats,kittens are cute but cats that are left unattended by their owners! Should face fines such as the leash law with dogs.I cannot imagine a cat jumping in my car,It would have hurting that is for sure. I have no regard for the cats left to roam the streets,Now if it would be my nieces pet.I guess it would be a bit easier to warm up to it a bit,only for her sake mind you. This is what my bunnies look like in the yard,easy to see how tiny and helpless they would be to a trash picking cat.

Hi Capsi, ok I was not a bunny lover - until I saw your pic, that is so cute, I could even pick it up which is rare with me and animals. We do have rabbits here but never seen a wild one, just ones that are being bred for food I'm afraid. Or maybe wild ones get picked off by snakes and cats. There are wild cats near the house at the moment and I don't want them here as they've been in the bins, but one of the neighbours has been out to their holiday home and feeding the things which I think is the height of stupidity when they leave again after a week, either take the things on full time or leave them to fend for themselves, not half tame them then clear off back to the UK leaving the cats to expect food from here. A reasonable annoyance I think at people not thinking their actions through.

Hi Capsi, I had no clue that cats went after bunnies, I thought that bunnies were generally bigger. I'm not to keen on cats as wild ones are everywhere out here and like to rummage through the communal dustbins so I treat them with suspicion, even had one steal a fish by jumping through my car window one day, so I shall support your bunnies rather than the vicious cat. I've never seen a wild rabbit over here actually though there were many in the uk, and English people do tend to keep them in hutches, their posh name for a cage. I haven't eaten a rabbit, but I'm like you with the deer. Although I eat meat there are some things I couldn't eat, like ducks which I feed, and deer. Totally hypocrisy really as little lambeys are so cute but make the best chops.

Hi Zandi, I'm afraid that round here they are in fact bred for the pot, and I've been dreading someone giving me one for years in case they expect me to cook it. I thought breeding animals for fur was a no no these days. Years back at university I remember picking up this rabbit skin fur coat in a second hand place and adored it, it was so warm especially on those cold winter mornings. I don't know what happened to it at all, but I know that the red paint brigade made the wearing of anything like that a definite no.

Why? Your contribution here is pitifully lacking, hop back and expand on the subject before I pm the politics brigade to join in.

Have you ever had the chance to ask a rabbit what they think of YOU n return jb? Is the fascination angle a two way street or do the rabbits consider you to be somewhat of an obsessive?

So You go into an overtly political discussion and find your star getting a beating? So THAT's what Happened Me! I just got my 10 back after a demotion during the week for no reason I could see...

What can I say ShepherdSpy, my muse of a rabbit, my inspriration. Actually she spends nearly all day sending me dreadful links to political discussions just hoping I'll join in knowing full well my star will be non existent the next day, put me over in there and I won't be the nice lovable Thea you know, I'll be scarey. She knew she was doing it anyway and she's supposed to hop in sporadically.

That was meant to read 'she knew I was doing it'. Cafenion time calls.

i'm pretty sure wild ones wouldn't roll in dog poop-that's what these two did. don't know why they did..but bathing was a necessity in that instance LOL

Hi scarlet_woman, no nice to hear something negative about a rabbit for a change, even though you did start off with the word 'cute'. Doesn't anyone have a good recipe for them, we have a global world of rabbit lovers out there. I didn't know that one had to give baths to rabbits, how on earth do all those wild ones manage without daily abolutions? Anyway I'm sure the neighbours one on a shredding mission gave some amusemtent to the slobs

Oh nope! I don't watch movies that much anymore, not sure that I've seen Fatal Attraction! Wow! Lol, yes my grandmother almost killed the bunnies. I don't think I've ever eaten bunny, I don't think I could bring myself too! Though I've eaten a pig's stomach without realizing it.

Hi SomeCowGirl, I was talking about the bunny boiling scene in Fatal Attraction.but I'm sure you knew that. Your aunt should have wielded her spade with more strength and done a proper job. All pets should be banned. Do you remember the heading here, interested in or not interested in, my only interest in the little creatures now is one involving a good recipe and the blue rabbit has once again renaged on the plot to come in an hop.

THE rabbits we ate were wild not anyone's pet. He did it all i never gutted anything in my life & don't intend to start at this late date, lol. I have never eaten a tame rabbit altho i know people do.

Hi Aunty, so for you they were both sweet little things and things that went in the pot. Did your ex do the nasty bits of gutting and skinning for you or leave that bit to you? I have trouble gutting a fish properly and dread the day someone gifts me a rabbit and expects me to know what to do with it, whereas a ready prepared fillet of rabbit I imagine would be enhanced with some juniper berries and rosemary.

I never for a moment imagined he went out shooting pet rabbits Aunty.

I'm at a loss mjmlagat, how can you cuddle something which is going to make you itch, you should keep your distance and invest in a stuffed one.

they're great little animals.

Hi Karen, no idea why the blue rabbit hasn't popped in to say hello, she's remiss in her duties of hopping into boxes of people who don't eat them. She's the rabbit lover. After all this talk of cute bunnies I'm tempted to try it next time its in the pot somewhere, followed of course by the ears of a chocolate rabbit.

Egadssssss, that pot in a rabbit remark brings to mind: Fatal Attraction. Heaven forbit or favorite blue bunny should meet such a fate!!

Um...is that a typo? Or did I truly mean pot in a rabbit?? I'm tired lol. Meant "rabbit in a pot"

Please kitty my dear, we don't have those kinds of things in Greece you know, this isn't New York, we have Greek men. That's if you're alluding to what I think you are, we do have Carrie and the City (skillfully avoids mature content tag there). My son watches Bugs Bunny in Greek which is apparently as funny as it is in American, and the bad habit of Easter chocolate bunnies is only just beginning, personally I prefer the old tradition of a nice bit of candle to chew on, much better for the teeth.

See now Kitty, if this hadn't been inspired by the blue rabbit who incidentally has now stopped hopping in, I could have made this discussion just as easily about squirrels, just to freak you out my dear.

Hello my friend Bad girl more like comparing them to squirrels lol They are much cuter however, but still would never get close. Getting ready to go home, hope I have a connection Thank you my friend, lmaoooo

Hi sender, well the blue rabbit thingy would be much better than me at getting all excited about your cuties but as she appears to have gone awol I will empathise as much as I am able and I'm sure that Patches was indeed very cute and fun. Now it most probably wasn't a real bunny in the pot in the film but a stunt bunny but if you are having issues then best to turn away when you know that scenes coming. Now jb, come on and hop to it will you, I have a sensitive sender here who shares your fondness for rabbits. She'll be along tomorrow I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing all of your bunny comments with me.

I have a rabbit, somebody gave it to me. At the beginning i didn't want to have an animal in my apartment, but he is so lovely, my son is very happy with him, the only problem is that they like to eat cables and if he goes out of his cage he's gonna eat all the cables, one day he ate my laptop cable.

Hi carolscash, that sounds quite unusual to raise rabbits to sell as pets, but I suppose if there's a demand for them it would make sense. Greeks aren't really into pets, in fact they really don't go in for them much at all, and here if someone was raising rabbits it would be for food but I only know of one local woman who does that actively now. I've never eaten it myself but have seen tourists order it which they probably never would do back at home/

Hi Maximax, the blue bunny has expressed her approval of your rabbits.

cute

In the same breath indeed, LOL..

Hi Zed, your dream of a twice the human sized bunny chasing you around sounds like a horrendous night mare to me, and obviously indicates that you indeed have some rather warped thoughts. I have never had to endure a nightmare like that one, as yet, but will no doubt be dreaming about cute bunnies tonight, what to flavour them with, what to serve them with. JB hop to it please - Zed said cute and bunny in the same breath.

love you too darling :-)

Thank you so much for not mentioning cute bunnies Dawnald.

We had a New Zealand (red) for a long time and I let my mother use him to breed her females and then she wouldn't give him back. I think I have pictures but, I'll have to check and get back with you...

ooh. you have rabbits - got any pictures?

Hi Opal, I have no idea where the blue rabbit has gone again, she was supposed to hop into any box which mentioned bunnies and cute in the same breath as she likes them. Personally I'm completely uninterested in them but after posting this discussion in an attempt to bring a smile to the face of the blue rabbit I'm seriously considering dining out on one this weekend.
