Stockholm Burns Rabbits to Keep Swedes Warm

So you might be asking yourself, “Why in the hell would Stockholm burn rabbits for fuel?” Well, my friend of all things furry, the city already disposes of thousands of rabbits each year in an effort to keep the vegetative life in the city parks thriving. The bunny-based biofuel is a consequence of the controlled killings.
In an effort to get thermal with Thumper, the city takes the dead rabbits, freezes them and then burns them to fuel a heating plant in central Sweden. Obviously animal rights groups are not liking what is happening with the woodland creatures. Check out more on the bizarre bunny-based biofuel story at the link below.
