    US farmer's rabbits stolen, put up for adoption

    PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) — More than a dozen rabbits that were reported stolen the night before a rabbit-cooking class have turned up at an adoption agency in Portland, Oregon.

    The rabbits were returned to farmer Levi Cole after 17 of them disappeared on Jan. 7. Cole reported the theft on the night before he taught a class on raising, slaughtering and cooking rabbits.

    Cole says he believes political motivation was behind the theft, although police have no suspects.

    The rabbits were found at adoption agency Rabbit Advocates, and one had been adopted by the time police arrived. Rabbit Advocates did not return a call Friday.

    Portland Meat Collective owner Camas Davis says it's is the first time this has happened to the group.

      Give me a thumbs up if you have ever owned a lucky rabbit's foot. Add a comment saying what color it was dyed, was it lucky, or where you got it.

        Dyed green, quite lucky, stole it from my older brother when I was 5, lost it immediately, but it was a great twenty minutes.

      Did anybody think for one second that maybe they weren't trying to save the rabbits but that Cole's cooking sucks ???

      I hope the case is pursued and charges can be filed -- I understand some people are not comfortable with meat-eating, and others somehow feel a rabbit is too cute to eat, compared to other animals, but theft is theft and this is not the right way to make a point. Rabbits are widely reared for food, even in America; I can get rabbit in my local supermarket. These rabbits were reared for food. No one should have been surprised by their intended fate.

        Kirstin, you are COLD. Compassion is not born; it is learned. I applaud those who tried to help the all creatures great and SMALL.

        Fran, Kirsten is right. I have two rabbits of my own and love them dearly but they are raised for food for others. There are people, like me, who eat meat. Whenever I get ticked off at my rabbits I threaten to turn them into rabbit stew. But everyone who knows me knows that I am a lying fool. I could no more stew my rabbits than kill a bug. It is not any different than raising a cow or a pig just to slaughter it for the meat.

      what is the difference in raising rabbits or cattle? Are you going to give up hamburgers?How about fried chicken? mankind went from hunting food, to raising food.

      There is a difference between livestock raised for food & pets we keep for companionship. Only the naive and idiotic can't tell the difference.
