The woman in the second picture looks as if she's trying her hardest not to kiss that bunny.

And that bunny looks like a bit of a player.

I'd say rabbits are the greatest challenge to the proposed pet/food binary. Aren't they?

Well certainly more difficult than with humans*.



*I do not actually endorse cannibalism

We don't eat rabbit, because we've had them for pets. Luckily, we can make that choice. I know when I told my grandfather we had gotten a rabbit, he said "Oh? We raised rabbits when I was a kid." I got all excited, until he said "For meat."

Pigs are really adorable and smart, and my husband would love to have one for a pet (except for the whole size of a grown pig thing). Except, they're made of bacon, so I would have a hard time with that.
