Tomorrow is Thanksgiving over in the US of A. You know, the day we eat turkey and stuffing, gather with family and talk about all the things we’re thankful for before going out the next day to punch an old woman in the throat for that good deal on a new TV. So, here’s a twist – what are you thankful for from this year? 2016 was a real sucker punch of a year, but some awesome things happened, too. Right?

It looks like normal minute steaks sliced in pieces with onion 😛
And it’s probably outside I guess because there is a random tree leave in the pan.

That’s not chicken. Its rabbit. Because I own rabbits.

Oh. Well rabbit is delicious… Tender, soft, lovely. Better than chicken. O_o
Don’t cook your rabbits. They’re your pets. But like cattle, there are entire farms farming rabbits for food. If you don’t eat those rabbits, then you shouldn’t be eating any meat at all.
Lu
November 23, 2016 at 20:58
I agree with Gollum. We had a rabbit farm at one point. Meat rabbits are an entirely different breed of nasty, bitey red eyed creatures. Pet bunnies are also way too tough for the rotisserie.
Andre Fourie
November 24, 2016 at 06:59
The only reason they are “bitey” is because they are kept in mesh cages (from what I have seen), with no flooring. They get hock sores from the flooring. There is no interaction with humans except for getting killed. They are bitey because of fear and mistreatment. Our Vet phoned me to come fetch a meat rabbit someone picked up next to the road with a bad infection. Ended up being the sweetest bunny I ever had the pleasure of fostering.
Lu
November 24, 2016 at 07:58
Yeah some of the farms I’ve seen were absolutely horrible.
We would pet our bunnies every time we fed them – it keeps them calm. We had wood panels and a ton of straw to prevent them hurting their feet, as well as nesting boxes for them to give birth in. It’s partly the reason we had to close down – we couldn’t keep up with the bulk farms. That being said the afrikaans term “Mal soos ‘n haas” has legit roots. Some would flip out and smack the food from your hand, or maul your arm. I’ve been bitten more by seemingly friendly rabbits than I have by dogs.

When rabbits reach puberty, they sometimes go crazy, especially the females. That’s why we advise everyone to neuter/spay pet bunnies as it calms them down. The problem with rabbit farming is that it mostly gets done inhumanely with deplorable conditions. If done humanely, then yes, its a sustainable food source. Its hard for someone who has them as pets to admit, because they are such awesome pets. Not for children though.
Lu
November 24, 2016 at 08:28
That’s interesting. In heard the same thing happens with ferrets when they mature. Sadly most people are too lazy/cheap to care for the animals they’re farming.
Andre Fourie
November 24, 2016 at 09:05
Well, neutering rabbits are very expensive. R800+ for a male and R1500+ for a female. They are tricky little animals, but so sweet once they fixed. Nothing beats when a rabbit licks your face. for them that is the ultimate affection.
Lu
November 24, 2016 at 09:22
Yeah I rate you need to be a pretty specialized vet to pull that off. I’ll habd in my man card but that is damn adorable.
Lord Chaos
November 23, 2016 at 16:22
And… how many rabbits do you have?
They’re clearly going at it like… well… rabbits. 😛

My rabbits are fixed. Most of them raised from babies. I have 9.

While I normally scoff at such traditions, like Halloween, I think this one is important. Not the black Friday or the turkeys or the food or the family.
I think it is important to, once in a while, reflect on what you have and do not have. Familiarity can sometimes lead to an acceptance of things as the norm, I should have a nice Mercedes or house or whatever, that is normal Right? No, sometimes one must sit and consider: All people have different standards and acceptance norms.
I am thankful that I have a semi-healthy family, two doting daughters, a sometimes doting wife ( 🙂 ), some pets and a house on the rapid end of being paid off. I say this because I consider what I have against the majority, not just in this country but in other countries too, and I realise that I am above the norm and must not take what I have for granted. That said, we should not be made to feel guilty because we have and others do not. It does not work that way either. I just have a renewed appreciation of what I have.
the old story, heard from many of our grandparents: there are starving children in (insert remote country here) that would be grateful for a toy like that.

I’m thankful for a good gaming year. 2016 may be remembered for other eventualities (cough… God-emperor Trump, the stupidity and insanity of FeesMustFall, Jacob Zuma’s still president etc.), but as a gaming year it’s been absolutely solid.
Thank you, gaming gods!
