- WordsnCollision, on 11/08/2009, -1/+42That's just wrong... they should use live rabbits.
- angrytortilla, on 11/09/2009, -0/+29Save a rabbit, throw a baby.
- letsgetsurgical, on 11/09/2009, -1/+27This whole thing is unfunny and APPALLING.
I mean, I've clubbed all these rabbits and now I can't throw them. BULL.*****.
Won't somebody think of the children?!?! - scruffybr, on 11/08/2009, -2/+24Well the rabbits dead where's the harm LOL
- anarcurt, on 11/08/2009, -0/+17No, seriously, Trix are for kids.
- Frankzulla, on 11/08/2009, -0/+16What's wrong with a few kids doing a little lagomorph tossing?
- cryinlion85, on 11/09/2009, -1/+14dead rabbits don't have rights. have they been to a poultry farm lately?
- sekander94, on 11/09/2009, -1/+12"Do you throw your dead grandmother around for a joke at her funeral?"
If rabbits needed 8 pallbearers, I'm sure nobody would throw them around either. - badqat, on 11/09/2009, -0/+10I think they should just go ahead and toss the things live. Towards kittehs.
- schrankage, on 11/09/2009, -3/+13so... the /s implies that you're serious.. so you do have a problem with throwing dead rabbits. let kids throw the ***** rabbits jesus.
- purplesawdust, on 11/09/2009, -0/+10What would you do for a Klondike Bar?!
- earthtones, on 11/08/2009, -1/+8Next they'll cancel the Mullet Toss at the Florabama.
- palehorse864, on 11/09/2009, -0/+7Apparently from the quotes and comparison to humans, the people protesting feel it insults the rabbits' dignity or something and equate it with human dignity.
- jaytek13, on 11/09/2009, -0/+6I'd like to meet the guy who one day said to himself "I should sponsor a contest where children throw dead rabbits". Seems like he might be a ... unique individual.
- BlindingDawn, on 11/08/2009, -13/+19I don't see why people would get upset over kids throwing dead rabbits around.
/s - artfiend77, on 11/09/2009, -0/+6I don't think it's as much as the rabbits being dead and thrown being wrong as much as it's them finding nothing better to toss around than a DEAD ANIMAL. Stay classy New Zealand.
- bizzywho, on 11/09/2009, -1/+7***** YOU RABBIT!!!
ANA ***** YOU WHARE!!! ***** YOU DORPHIN!!! - vanzant38, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Exactly!
- badqat, on 11/09/2009, -0/+5Indeed! Don't discriminate against live rabbits! Why can't they have these jobs?
But I do think since we're talking live rabbits, that it might be interesting if there were a bunch of hungry kittehs in the area in which the rabbits are tossed. - palehorse864, on 11/09/2009, -1/+5How do you provide that quote and then explain THIS!?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfvLcozLwtE&fmt ... - askantik, on 11/09/2009, -1/+5Citation needed about rabbit families not "getting worked up" when they see dead family members, Bongos. We don't even know what goes on in the heads of other humans, much less non-human animals. And ***** learn the definition of sentience before you decide which animals have it and which don't, because rabbits clearly do. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sentience
"capacity for sensation or feeling"
Are you saying rabbits don't feel or have senses? - Stevosaurous, on 11/09/2009, -0/+4dugg for purposeful use of 'lagomorph'
- bmiami69, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3What? Forget the trip to New Zealand, i had everything ready to fly down there with my 2 kids so they could throw some dead rabbits around. We tried it in Miami but i got thrown in jail and i have been seaching where it would be not only aloud but encouraged. Now what will i tell me kids?
- sweeneypng, on 11/09/2009, -1/+4What are we supposed to do with all those rabbits we kill every year, then?
- prompel, on 11/09/2009, -1/+4And human beings are not animals?
- prompel, on 11/09/2009, -1/+4"animal welfare"?
They're frikkin' DEAD! Neither they, nor their surviving relatives care!
Let's throw some "animal welfare campaigners" instead. - palehorse864, on 11/09/2009, -0/+3Your post is pure FUDD :P
- 2Bnor2B, on 11/09/2009, -1/+3In Seattle, PETA is trying to ban the tradition of tossing fish by fishmongers in Pike Place Market.
- askantik, on 11/09/2009, -1/+3I don't really give a ***** if they throw dead rabbits around (though I certainly don't see what's fun about it)... my problem is, where did all these dead rabbits come from? Yeah.
- hasahugedig, on 11/09/2009, -2/+4this is an old tradition, let em throw dead rabbits! the rabbits there are pests and they're already dead, big deal. I bet this wouldn't be an issue if it was a non-cutesy animal...like fish throwing contests that they have everywhere.
- artfiend77, on 11/09/2009, -1/+3This is horrible! Disgusting!
*notices it's from New Zealand*
Oh, that explains it. - chingazo, on 11/10/2009, -0/+1Dude, shut yer pie hole. Rabbits are like mice, rats and other rodents. They are pests and they cause more harm and almost no good in NZ. So what if humans brought them there. ***** em. They are rabbits and don't compare humans with invasive animals. It just sounds retarded.
- falconear, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Now they can only toss live ones, as it should be.
- vanzant38, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Life SUCKS.
- falconear, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Well, they ARE a nuisance that don't even belong in their ecosystem. I say toss them all, let god sort them out.
- vanzant38, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2Serves them right, dam wascally wabbits.
- daqq, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2Here in Florida, we do the same with mullet.
We've heard no such outcry in defense of these tasty fish. - gl77, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2but.....they're already DEAD!
- T3hJ3hu, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1I believe you left your testicles at home today, sir.
- charlietuna, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2Tasteless, but in reality I don't see a major tragedy here. We eat meat. we kill animals daily, but that work is subcontracted out.
- martywombat, on 11/08/2009, -0/+1What am I going to do with my weekends now?
- PBScott, on 11/24/2009, -0/+1It has only been a tradition for about thirty years. They should stop it now before they more on to other animals because they think its normal.
- Conguent, on 11/09/2009, -1/+2Dugg for the concept of rabbit = rapist.
- markgl, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1The Forty Thieves, The Bowery Boys, The Shirt Tails!
- Glassmentality, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1I see dead rabbits.
- iDiggYa, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1From Family Guy:
Would you...would you kill a man? *bam!* - carbonetc, on 11/09/2009, -0/+1Somehow everyone started saying "sentience" when "sapience" is what they really mean. We have every reason to believe that rabbits are sentient. And we have reason to believe they are sapient to some degree, but obviously a much lesser degree than human beings.
