Danish bunny killer petition growing....
Discussion
A petition calling for the sacking of the cruel Danish p.o.s who bludgeoned a defenceless 9 week old baby bunny to death on-air on radio24syv is growing and has now reached nearly 25000 signatures in 2 days.
Asger Juhl obtained the baby from a pet shop, then to make some spurious point about animal welfare, after petting it and reassuring it, he killed it with a bicycle pump despite the protestations of other presenters. Worse still, he took the tiny little corpse home, skinned it and fed it to his young kids.
If it had been a 'meat market' animal and had been killed humanely by a qualified person, that would have been one thing. But for an incompetent idiot to batter to death an animal bred as a pet is quite another.
The station manager Jørgen Ramskov has had the effrontery to stand by cruel Juhl - despite the outrage expressed by so many people. I don't know whether there's a Danish equivalent of the RSPCA, but if there is, why aren't they prosecuting this sick, sadistic individual?
Anyone wishing to sign may do so at https://www.change.org/p/fire-radio-presenter-asge...
Questions can be put to Juhl via his e-mail address indicated on the station's contact list at: http://www.radio24syv.dk/dig-og-radio24syv/kontakt...

What exactly happened?
It was a bank holiday on Monday, so we decided to make a three-hour show about how people are hypocrites when it comes to animal welfare. We had a bunch of different experts talking about the subject, then we got our intern to go buy us a rabbit so we could kill it and confront ourselves with the fact that every time we eat meat, an animal dies.
We think it's important that people consider how the animals we eat are treated. Denmark has a huge pig production industry where tons of baby pigs are killed and often thrown out as waste. There are loads of animal welfare issues in the agriculture industry but people don't really give a s
t about it unless it's a cute little animal, like a puppy or a rabbit.
How did you guys decide who was going to kill Allan?
It was pretty easy. Asger is from the countryside and he's killed animals before so we thought it would be best if he did it. He was instructed by a guy at the zoo who kills rabbits to feed them to snakes – so Asger was under the strict guidance of a professional. Obviously, I'm a total hypocrite because I don't mind eating meat but I didn't want to kill a rabbit.

Hitting a baby rabbit with a bicycle pump three times is not a professional or good kill.
If he had done it properly he would have killed it with the side of his hand at the back of its neck (saw an agricultural student do this on a myxi bunny). Instant kill.
This is a total farce of a situation and shows nothing relating to animal welfare in the farming industry.
He cooked it after to try and justify his action, because we all know what a satisfying meal a nine week old bunny can make
I've already signed a petition.

Thanks to those who've signed and I hope more will do so.
At 9 weeks, a bunny will only just have been weaned and would have been wanting to bond with anyone who it met after having left its mother. What was particularly awful was to see that vile person Juhl petting it and stroking it to make it feel reassured, yet a few minutes later he bludgeoned it to death in such a clumsy manner, no doubt causing it suffering and pain.
I haven't seen any further news about what the radio station intends to do about this despicable event, but they sound such an arrogant bunch that they will probably do nothing, hoping that the fuss will die down soon.
Let's make sure it doesn't!

I hope he's taken off for some serious psychological assessment, not a normal set of wiring upstairs by the sounds of it.

Ps, it could be argued that this is a news item really, might get more views on the New and Politics forum?

I agree with this guys point about the hypocrisy - as a fisherman I eat some of my catch (adhere to min landing sizes etc.) and the number of meat eaters who try and berate me as barbaric is laughable.
I don't agree with the way this guy made his point though. It was clumsy, disrespectful and with little regard for the animals welfare.

Yes, many people who eat meat have no interest or understanding about where the food comes from. However, animals must be killed humanely IMHO. Anyone who does not do so is scum and quite frankly to my mind bordering on psychopathic - who wants to inflict pain on things?!Cruel Juhl was talking out of his ar$e about hypocrisy. Those of us who are carnivores know full well that meat for human consumption comes from animals. BUT those animals are slaughtered by qualified, properly licensed slaughtermen according to strict standards - even in Denmark.
Vegans have their own view, which is perfectly understandable. Surely they see the difference between licensed production of meat, albeit distasteful to their beliefs, and sending a junior out to a pet shop to buy an innocent baby rabbit intended to become a pet, then brutally and incompetently killing it on air. That was vile, cheap sensationalism, nothing more - and the defenceless little bunny, barely weaned, was the innocent victim of this cruel event.

There is rather a difference between a 'baby pig' bred purely for the purpose of food and a 'fluffy wuffy lickle bunny' bred to become a domestic pet.
The pig would have been killed humanely, not beaten to death live on air as part of a cheap radio stunt.

Plenty of rabbits aren't though. They are snared, shot, ferreted and even hunted using birds of prey. nickwilcock said:

I agree. Completely. Like the presenter, you seem to be pointing out the blindingly obvious as if it was some kind of revelation. It isn't. So what is the next step in this thought process that I am supposed to take?The pig would have been killed humanely, not beaten to death live on air as part of a cheap radio stunt.
