For Meat or for Pets

So I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before... and I don't feel like poking around in the archives to find out. I know the sign has been up in the breakroom for at least a few months now, advertising rabbits for sale... for meat or for pets. Which rather bothers me.

Now don't get me wrong... I accept the whole rabbits for meat thing. Not overly comfortable with it... but I accept that rabbits are naturally prey and it's the way of life.

But for the concepts of "pets" and "meat" to be interchangeable in the same sentence... that's just disturbing. I can't imagine wanting to consider my pet as possible food... or my food as a possible pet. Though, I DID used to feel sorry for my Cheerios when I was a kid, and attempted to keep them in pairs so they wouldn't die alone.

Okay, so I'm a little wierd.
