A Tribute To A Bunny.

Naturally, even though I was warned it was boring stuff, I had to look at LJDrama.org when carrieb mentioned it. (Yes, I'm a link follower. It would drive me mad to have, for instance, a URL on say, my mousepad, without looking at it at least once. Not that I know anyone who would do that, of course. :) ) Anyway. I did stumble on something that entertained me quite a lot and made me giggle wildly.

This chick (siamang) posted in her journal about how she ate her deceased pet rabbit for dinner. She ended up with a massive amount of feedback on this post-1,590 comments at the moment.. people were generally outraged and upset that she would do such a thing, posting such literary pieces such as "You are just one sick fucker. You need to die and have your pets eat you. How the fuck would you feel then?! You are just not human." Rofl.

I'm just grasping for the appropriate phrasing here. This is irony, Alanis.. I know you have trouble recognizing it, so this is a prime example for you to learn from before you write your next song. These (statistically speaking) mostly non-vegetarian people are flaming her because she eats meat? She's eating rabbit! Lots of people eat rabbit! Lots of people eat pigs, too, and cows and deer and fish and chicken! Who cares if it had a name first or not? That's not even discussing the arguments about how things are done in different cultures.. eating rabbit is culturally okay in America, the country in which she resides. We dump boxes of rotten vegetables at the side of the store for people to pick up to feed their rabbits every day. It's not like they're just keeping them as a hobby, most of the time. What are these people, ten years old and unable to see anything past the end of their nose? Sure, there's a shock value to it, and I wouldn't want to eat a pet of mine that died, but for two major reasons that have very little to do with the morality of it. I wouldn't want to eat meat of an animal that died of unknown causes, first of all, and I certainly wouldn't want to cut and skin the darned thing. I don't even buy whole chickens for that reason.

Anyway, I'm done rambling about this, as I'm going off to fix dinner now. (Meatless, as it happens.) In closing, I'd like to send a cheer to this classy lady for her originality, whether or not it's actually a true story. (My money is on fake. A little too carefully worded and over-the-top in detail.) I do love the concept. :)

You're a scary lady. :) *tease* I don't think I've seen that one, or at least I don't remember it, but it sounded pretty similar. Well, quite a bit more disturbing, but close enough!
