[QUOTE=PaperBurrito;47808245]Don't forget the bestality which was only recently banned[/QUOTE] It only first got banned recently because it has never really been an issue before. :V [QUOTE=reeferdk;47808482]Was probably not the type of pump used.[/QUOTE] does that even fucking matter? You're still clobbering it with a long, blunt object.
[QUOTE=reeferdk;47808467]ITT: People offended because they apparently had no idea that in order to get meat, you kill an animal.[/QUOTE] Ah yes because we indeed hit animals repeatedly with a bicycle pump in a radio station to obtain meat, I'm glad you've been able to deduce that for us.
[QUOTE=reeferdk;47808482]Was probably not the type of pump used.[/QUOTE] Do you have any proof or reason to believe it wasn't?
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47808479]Or maybe it's because he [I]beat a fucking baby rabbit to death on live air[/I]? Like what the fuck do you think we're upset over here, I think it's pretty obvious people are appalled by how and what he killed, not that you need to kill things for meat[/QUOTE] He killed a "baby" rabbit? How is that any different than killing a veel for its meat? Yes the bicycle pump is pretty damn gimmicky, but if you came from a place where bikes are actually used you would know that they come in all different kinds of sizes and materials, I seen pumps that you could easily knock out a person with let alone a rabbit. Especially the old school pumps made of steel.

A magnitude of ways exist to [I]finish off[/I] rabbits. Not fucking bludgeon them to death senselessly. Not to mention this is more of domesticated rabbit used for a pet, not something like a cotton-tail or mountain hare. This goes beyond levels of spreading a message, I hope these fuckers rot in a cell to be honest with you.

This rabbit was likely a pet breed they bought from a store. Now I'm not entirely sure about veal and I can't find any info online about it, but I know cattle are generally stunned with a powerful striker to the forehead, then have their arteries sliced. A far cry from being bashed to death fully aware of your surroundings. [editline]26th May 2015[/editline] [quote]Do you have any proof that it was? No? Then what is your point?[/QUOTE] I have no proof it was, but when I see images of bike pumps, this is the style used. It's the style that we own for our own bikes, and it's the style that first comes to my mind when I think of a bike pump, so I come to the conclusion that it's a popular and common style of pump, meaning it was likely what they used.

Beating something to death in order to prove a point. I feel sad for whomever lives with that man :c
[QUOTE=reeferdk;47808533]So if he killed another race of rabbit it would have been OK? How racist![/QUOTE] If he killed a wild rabbit, with any of the methods outlined by Starlight, sure. Killing an animal you get from a pet store which has no qualms with you and is causing no sort of environmental impact is just wrong. Its killing for the senseless act of killing, and goes against any denomination of environmental conservation. It'd be on par with myself going to a local Petsmart, and buying guinea pigs for the exclusive purpose of making South American dishes. Or buying a rattlesnake from a pet breeder and killing it to consume at a BBQ. When a creature is literally domesticated to the point where they expect to be fed and cared for by a human(seriously look at the pictures in the article), you cross a very, very thin line regarding animal welfare and awareness for such.
All I am saying is, who are you (and I) to say that this is wrong? Shit gets recorded every day much worse than this, at least the animal was (allegedly) consumed, and it was to raise awareness of the fact that this happens eveyday at pharmacutical companies. Theres so much animal abuse every day, for shit and giggles by twisted freaks (Like that US soldier who threw a puppy of a cliff some years back) and for industry, ever been to a swine farm? I am not condoning killing anything for the fun of it, radio24 is a shitty station and these hosts are huge idiots, they were that even before they did this. - and who the fuck even listens to radio today?

Nobody sane thinks that beating a baby pet rabbit to death is going to do anything but make people think you're a budding serial killer and get you some jail time.[/QUOTE] Agreed, but you know what? There is news everyday for more worse than this! If the animal suffered, then sure lock that fucker up! but honestly I don't care if he killed it with a huge rock, a bicyclepump or a fucking hand grenade, as long as he did it right.
As far as I recall, he instantly broke the neck of the animal, thusly it would be a painless and quick death. I see no problem with that, just as little as if a dog or cat were to be killed and consumed, [b]as long as it happens quick and without any pain.[/b] Sure, I probably wouldn't eat it if offered, but it is still a animal, and raising one above the other because "ooh its cute" or some other stupid reasoning like that, based solely on feelings of how cute/innocent/stupid it is, doesn't cut it. Afaik, some radio host had a dog killed and ate some of it, on air, in Britain, a few years back to highlight the pointlessness of fox hunting. This isn't exactly something new, perhaps a bit shocking, but I guess thats the point.

Is one type of rabbit more aware and filled with valueable-life(tm) than the other?[/quote] He beat a baby rabbit to death, on air, with a random blunt object not at all good for killing anything. It was almost undoubtedly terrified, and it likely died painfully. Both are things you want to avoid at any cost when executing something. Also, like JoeSkylynx said, pet rabbits are literally bred to love humans and desire your companionship. He basically bought an animal that thought he was going to be his kind and loving owner, then killed it. [editline]26th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=reeferdk;47808616] Agreed, but you know what?

Yeah, normally, in private-grown conditions, you kill rabbits with this thing [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rx4GOyQ.jpg[/IMG] Not even the metal axe part at all. You grab the rabbit by hind legs, let it hang, like that, and smack it with the wooden stick right on the back of their head. With a single hit, you snap the spine extremely easy, there's really nothing special to it, and it's instant death to the animal. If his bicycle pump was of at least remotely solid build and he he had any clue about what he had been doing, it's perfectly possible the rabbit never went through any more suffering than your common market meat animal. He's definitely a provocateur, but people who go apeshit over what he did prove his point. People can go completely mad over an animal with a name getting killed, but ignore the fact that it's completely normal and natural that we slaughter animals by the dozen.

I've always found the way pigs and chicken are kept to be barbaric, crammed into tiny pens they can barely move in. This also applies to veal. But no one ever wants to talk about their welfare. It's a discussion people actively avoid.

It's extremely controversial how many plants treat their livestock. There's also a significant difference between domestication for meat and domestication for keeping as a pet.
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;47808660] Just because there's other worse stuff in the world doesn't make this any less horrible or disgusting.[/QUOTE] Actually for me it does. There is so many other issues at hand that I find far more worrying, than some coked up radio host killing a single animal as a one time gimmick while he desperately grasps what is left of his overrated career!

Because they're for food, people overlook it.

It's a complex issue, but it's dismissed because "a significant difference between domestication for meat." At least acknowledge that there's some hypocrisy.

And the rabbit's owner takes it out and plays with it and cuddles it often. This is all assuming you're treating your pet rabbit properly, but still, it's a huge difference.

The fact it was little over two months old means nobody owned it before this, and it has literally been born, grew up at the mother, and sat in a cage with other rabbits for sale for a while. If there's difference between how rabbits are treated, then this rabbit never got toe experience it. 2) What does it matter how the previous life of the rabbit went before it got slaughtered? I do not understand your path of thinking whatsoever. Why are rabbits that had a [I]worse[/I] life more acceptable to kill? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't the worst treated animals have the best right to stay alive? How does pet rabbits receiving a better treatment warrant their somehow more important right to live?
I understand what they were doing, but jesus, you can't be for animal welfare and kill a fucking animal.
