ALERT! If you are an animal lover your help is needed now to stop a vicious trend targeting organic consumers!Did you know that just because something is labeled "Organic", "Sustainable" or "Green" it DOES NOT make it cruelty-free? Does the idea of horse meat served in American restaurants bother you?What about rabbits---one of the nation's most beloved, gentle family pets?Kuleto's restaurant in San Francisco is offering a special Rancher's dinner featuring rabbit meat from Devil's Gulch farm. If you scroll down on the link, you will see from the photo of Devil's Gulch that the rabbits being raised are the exact same types as pet rabbits---there is a little Dutch and a harlequin.Click Here For Devil's GulchThere are also young children involved with rabbit meat production and slaughter as part of Devil's Gulch "educational" programs. How can teaching kids to kill be "green?"Doesn't truly being "green" mean reducing your "karmic footprint" and finding compassionate, sustainable, eco-friendly and humane solutions? In this email, you will find the menu and contact info for Kuleto's, as well as contact information for Dutton Goldfield winery, which is co-sponsoring the event with a wine pairing to the rabbit dish. Please let these businesses know that rabbits don't belong on American dinner plates anymore than do horses, guinea pigs, rats, and dogs which are all served in other countries. Don't be fooled by clever marketing and special events!Ask them to be GREEN, not MEAN. Yes, it's sad, but PLEASE DON"T LOOK AWAY. Bunnies like, Monroe, really need your help!PLEASE BE POLITE in your communications to the restaurant so that we can keep the lines of communication open. We are also looking for volunteers and partner groups to help us address this tragic cause. if you can help, let us know. You can also speak up for the animals on Facebook, Myspace and reviews on Yelp. Please forward this email and cross post widely!Click Here For Dutton Goldfield WineryClick here For Kuleto'sClick Here For Kuleto's Yelp PageAt the very bottom of this email is information about rabbit meat production. It is graphic, so you decide.

CAUTION- Graphic Content belowHow Rabbits Are Slaughtered:"The preferred method is dislocation of the neck. The rabbit is held firmly by the rear legs and head; it is stretched full length. Then with a hard, sharp pull, the head is bent backward to dislocate the neck. The rabbit can also be struck a hard, quick blow to the skull behind the ears. A blunt stick or side of the hand is commonly used to incapacitate the rabbit. After dislocation or stunning, the rabbit is hung by one of the hind legs above the hock joint. The head is immediately removed to allow complete bleeding." (Source: Dr. Tom W. Smith, Emeritus Professor of Poultry Science, Mississippi State University from the publications Domestic Rabbit Biology and Production by L. R. Arrington and K. C. Kelley and Raising Rabbits, USDA Farmers' Bulletin No. 2131.)
