Bunnies Become Biofuel

Parks in Stockholm (the capital of Sweden) are being overrun with hungry rabbits. To keep the rabbits from destroying the parks, the city of Stockholm hires hunters to reduce the number of rabbits in the parks. The bodies of the rabbits, which can be as many as 6,000 a year, are frozen. And then they're moved to a heating plant, where they turn into fuel to heat Swedish homes.
A survey shows that while some Swedes are okay with using bunny bodies to heat their homes and think it's resourceful, others think this is not a good way to treat rabbits, to put it mildly.
