Oh look at them.

Rabbits are so dumb.

They come right up to the house in winter, looking for the sweet grass.

If I didn't shoo these rabbits away before letting my dogs out?

It would be the Texas Chainsaw Massacre of rabbits up in here.

The God of the Hebrews is with me, always.

There's no proscription in the Gospels against hunting rabbits.

Praise the Lord.

The dogs are at the door now.

They see them.

Watching them through the glass.

The most retarded thing about the rabbits is that they will come right back like five minutes after being chased. It makes me want to drop the leash to teach them a lesson. That boxer can outrun any of them.

Well, Jesus ate rabbits, so I guess you can go kill yourself now.

Gospels are silent on jesus’s diet, but don’t kill yourself, go vegan first so you have a chance with saint peter.

Last time I forgot to shoo the rabbits, they all ran down the hill to the fence, there's a gap where one can fit through at a time. They all try to get through at once, so none of them get through, and a moment later my dogs are upon them, fur and blood everywhere.

Not really, dude.

We know he drank wine. He ate bread. He ate fish. And at the last supper there were "morsels" of food, which presumably were some kind of meat.

On second thought, I am not sure if rabbit is allowed by ritual law. But he certainly ate fish. That's right there in the Gospels.
