PETA would be just as likely to kill the animals, do some research on PETA.... see how many of their "pets" actually ever get adopted.

I was being sarcastic, dumbass.

Yes, because I could TOTALLY read your sarcasm. I thought you were serious as well.

You werent being sarcastic... clearly you lied to defend yourself when people disagreed with you. Like many people have already mentioned, if the rabbit was in the oven and the heat came on gradually, the rabbit wouldnt have realized what was happening, due to the body adjusting to the heat. After a while the heat would become too much and the rabbit would either suffocate or die from heat stroke or some sort of heat related trauma. Not burns. So there would be no scratching or squealing... PETA wouldn't have done anything either, its not like op or her kids intentionally killed the rabbit, what do you think she did, hear the rabbit and say, "oh dang..." and walk away? Clearly she didnt know until it was too late...

You would hate that cat microwave video

Overreact much?

how would you like to be in a fucking oven while its being preheated? your mom would probably put you in there anyway. you see the point? you should not fucking harm little harmless animals. they can't protect themselves. stupid idiot children should not have pets.

And stupid idiot people like you shouldn't be allowed on this site.

What if it was still alive when the OP started pre-heating it? By checking before turning the oven on, it might not have died.

This.

Its not like its going to make noise the second she turns it on. It takes a while for an oven to heat up and so she might not have realized anything until it started making noise, at which point its already in pain. She didn't say it was dead. Just that it had been in the oven and she hadn't noticed right away. She may have killed it, or it may just have been injured.

Rabbits don't often make a lot of sound. That plus people usually do other things like prepare the food or go away when they preheat an oven.

I didn't happen to look at her username. i stand correct. Bunny is dead.

Actually, that's not true. In my college psych class, we talked about how animals (including humans) often don't realize that a gradual change--like the temperature in an oven--is dangerous until it is too late. It's not like being dropped in boiling water or touching a stove. If the temperature is slowly going up or down, our body simply tries to adjust until the end.

WOW! I really really really hope you never get a pet again. Seriously. Don't ever get a pet again. And while you are at it, beat your dumbass child for putting an animal in anything other than it's own cage!

Rabbits make a TON of noise. Have you ever heard one being eaten by a snake? There is no way you can't hear a rabbit when it's it panic or pain. So Noisy.

Bunnies are usually pets, not food? Depends on where you come from. My family eats rabbit all the time. When I was growing up, there was one caught in a snare we took it home, and the next day ate it. Rabbits are food.

Glenn Beck boiled a live frog. He also raped and murdered a girl in 1990.

Arietie Actually yes, bunnies are usually pets not food. Plenty of people eat rabbit, but how often do you hear it called a bunny when you're eating it? Hardly ever because bunny makes you think of cute furry little animals, and a lot of people don't like to think of how cute and furry their food once was. If someone calls it a bunny it implies that it wasn't intended for eating.

You wasted your money on that psych class. What you just explained is a lack of common sense. We all know that a lot of people now-adays have little common sense.

naw, after the spike goes through his head the cow dosn't feel anything, its an instant death for the most part.. This rabbit burned to death... advantage goes to the rabbit.

Seconded.

No one ever said they don't think about the pain cows/chickens/etc. endure, but 1. The cow is dead before all the mutilation begins. 2. We should, but we don't think of these things because they sell the cow in delicious-looking burgers and things that don't even closely resemble something that once mooed. 3. Bunnies are USUALLY pets, not food. 4. The bunny died in a very gruesome and unusual way, and probably felt his skin burn off before he passed out or died.

You "imagine?" Do you have kids? Do you have any fucking clue the sort of stuff they get up to? I mean, for one thing, why would you bother checking an oven, assuming you don't keep stuff in it, before you preheat it, especially if you already know that its set how you want it. Your right, it takes about 10 seconds and is a good habit, but if you've never needed to check it you should don't. And really, how do you guys know the circumstances of the audibility of the pet rabbit in the oven? I don't stand around the oven while its preheating, I go do something else. Something else loud, a different room, a different level. And also, for awhile the rabbit's body would try to compensate for the rising temperature until it just overheats, and thus it might not make noise for awhile. So - all the people that just click YDI should try thinking before just clicking it, rather than inferring conditions they don't know and just pressing the button.
