Karl Szmolinsky, from Eberswalde, in the east of Germany, has won a contract to supply the government of North Korea with giant bunnies to help feed their hungry population. Trouble is the bunnies take quite a bit of feeding too. These German gray rabbits, like Robert, are used to having three meals a day, hand-prepared by Mr Szmolinsky.
And it's not April 1st; it's in the Times.

I don't like this post. I hope you aren't going to turn into one of those old people who delights in spreading bad news. Don't talk any more about eating bunnies, please. EsPECially this close to Easter. Horrid man. Horrid North Korea.
Oh, my word, look at the size of that bunny! I didn't know there were giant bunnies. I like bunnies, though, and I really, really don't want anyone to eat them.
Perhaps North Korea should stop feeding money into its nuclear programme and start feeding its people, and therefore leaving the bunnies alone!
I was looking out my kitchen window this morning and a hare scampered by...he was a biggie, too...but not as bit as that huge German rabbit...he's a whopper!
OMGosh!!!! Is that real?
I want one... so cute!!! Don't eat it! :(
Please! OH gosh... so cute!
Is that rabbit for real??
It takes the North Koreans, doesn't it? But I can't help thinking they've got their priorities mixed up.
Blimey, that's a big bunny. Possibly even bigger than the Tellytubbies ones that were a giant breed.
Never believed such things existed. And as for eating them! Anna is right. Plus Anna is a beautiful name I have a special reason for liking. Like Liz.
That's a big bunny.
That photo made me feel sick! Rabbits are a phobia of mine and those feet ugh!
Rabbit in a stew or Paella is yum though!
I am stunned by the size of that rabbit. Holy Cow....how does that guy handle those huge monsters? Amazing.
you must keep in mind that you are observing the actions of other cultures. With the way bunnies reproduce, there won't particularly be a shortage. I'm not saying bunnies aren't cute at all, but consider this: he's doing it to counter hunger. The breeder himself understands what a shortage of food is, so I believe that he knows what he's doing. I will assume that myself along with the people commenting on this article are not living in a shortage of food. Therefore, who are we to criticize what another country does (in this context) to provide food Also, Easter has a much, much bigger significance than the easter bunny. This reminds me of a girl in my friends class. They watched a video about poverty in South America. There were destitute people, starving children, and one scene in which a homeless dog sought food. The girl said the dog (as compared to the rest of the video) was the saddest thing she had ever seen. My point is, while ethical treatment of animals is important, one musn't completely overlook human suffering as a result of.
