"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.

      My little cousin found this out at the last family gathering as he enthusiastically showed me a picture of his pet rabbits. Growing up on a farm, my first question was if they were pet or food. His face fell and he asked me if people really eat rabbits. Whoops!

      It is stocked in normal supermarkets in France and Switzerland (at least, surely others too).
