stroller 341 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Before Xmas i gave a church bloke who has a mobile soup kitchen a load of veg to feed the homeless a xmas dinner and i asked him if he could use rabbit meat as i have a freezer full but i could supply him fresh meat most weeks. To be honest i didnt think he would be interested as a lot of people dont eat rabbit these days i suppose i was being very naive as to the plight of the homeless as he was over the moon saying how the hot meal he provides could be the only one they get all week. i know a lot of people are on the street through their own weaknesses ie drink or drugs but who am i to judge and at least its doing somebody somewhere some good. How some of the poor buggers survive this weather is beyond me i work out in it for most of the day and it wears me out just keeping warm. maybe there is this type of thing going on where you live and if you have enough in the freezer maybe you could help? Its just a thought 12 Quote Link to post

Its just a thought good man i used to work as a chef in a hostel for the homeless and they are greatfull for any food they can get especially meat of any kind as people usually give pasta rice and tinned veg. meat is like gold dust to them,i even had one old boy ask me for the chicken carcasse so he could eat the bones Quote Link to post
ReggieCuz 18 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 not only that but the rabbit pelts could come in handy for making warm clothing, if there's enough of them ;-) Quote Link to post

ReggieCuz 18 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have a solution that will fix the homeless, the starving and the over population problem over night, without a shadow of a doubt. SOLUTION: Everybody eat the person to their immediate left. Quote Link to post
