Yep you read that right !

Curious story.

The decision to use Stockholm’s rabbit cadavers as bioenergy to warm Swedes living in Värmland doesn't sit well with Stockholm-based animal rights activists.

“Those who support the culling of rabbits surely think it’s good to use the bodies for a good cause. But it feels like they’re trying to turn the animals into an industry rather than look at the main problem,” Anna Johannesson of Vilda kaniners värn (‘Society for the Protection of Wild Rabbits’) told the local Vårt Kungsholmen newspaper.

First thought was about chauvinistic cannibals and the return of witch burnings, but okay...

Finnish Ferrets are know for a very high level of alcohol in their blood so they would explode when you lit them...but perhaps the Swedish Army is interested in Ferret bombs?:D

In Helsinki the bunnies (read: pests) are fed to lions in the local zoo.

Why not skin the bunnies and use them as coats? Hell wrap entire houses in their furs?

Yea those city bunnies are everywhere in big cities over here. I've noticed that they have a very short 'escape distance' meaning you can almost walk up to them. A wild hare will take off pretty much the moment it spots you and will keep on running. I almost stumbled over one the city bunnies and it just kind of looked at me as if to say "Yea, what?" :)
