@25 - Stuffing sick animals full with antibiotics while in feedlots/cages isn't efficient, unless you are talking about the ease of generating profits by skimming on safety practices. Same thing applies to agribusiness.

@ 20, it is if it complete treats sentient beings as though they're senseless objects without their own needs and natural right to care.

@20, it's bad if it's done efficiently to produce meat for a large number of consumers?

I'd totally go for the rabbit over the cooked ham. Hunter's rabbit with green olives or baked in mustard with white wine and veggies do the job pretty well.

@15 - Totally depends how it's done. Dead preystock is not murder, (as long as it's not humans preying on other humans). But factory farming is totally murder. Blind, thoughtless, mechanical murder with no respect. As you did point out in @20.

Ooo! Pink is an Easter color!

OTOH, those things looks like an organ with an oesophagus sticking out of it. Gross.

@ 18, yes, it is. But some animals are prey for others. That's just the food web. Go veggie if it makes you feel better, but don't pretending that simply killing animals for meat is, in and of itself*, a moral wrong. You have no evidence or reason to support that position.

* The state of modern factory farming is a whole different matter, and is quite evidently morally wrong.

Hilarious comments section for this product: Fresh Whole Rabbit.

One of my favorites is "I bought two, left them alone in the refrigerator for a week, and now I have thirty-eight. Off to buy a bigger fridge."

@15 Right, it's killing. That sounds so much better, doesn't it?

I like my murdered Easter animal cooked in a crock pot.

The bunny is not cute. The bunny is sinister! Who killed all those ham animals, huh? Who?

Ya, sure..couldn't be the cute lil' bunny...noooo..not the bunny! But actually yes! The bunny! See how it's laid it's eggs around the ham animal corpses...ready to hatch and devour their first meal.

Ah!

@6,

Fred Meyer in Ballard had a ton of them just this past Saturday. I do agree with you about the caramel eggs though. There's always a glut of them the Monday after Easter. If Cadbury's won't get rid of them, they could at least scale back production.

@6 - Are you freakin' kidding me? Those caramel eggs are AWESOME. Cadbury anything just rocks. Of course, I'm diabetic, so I have to stay away. Easter is by far the hardest holiday for me to get through...

That picture would be cute with live pigs and a bunny. Those of you who eat meat should take note. Maybe the point was to be unsettling because the live animal/murdered animal picture is not cute at all.

@3, kosher law forbids pork and rabbit.

@ 6, I saw an Easter display featuring the creme eggs in January at my local grocery store. (The display was small, and out of the way of all the Valentine Day's crap, but there they were.) Probably they sold out early.

@4 I'm having trouble finding Cadbury Creme Eggs this year. The caramel ones are everywhere. They should stop even making the caramel eggs. Nobody wants those. All their Cadbury Egg equipment should be pumping out Creme Eggs. Somebody, make this happen!

So that's what the Cadbury Bunny looks like on the inside. Makes sense. A rabbit who lays eggs is made out of ham.
