Today, I finally decided to get my five-year-old son a rabbit, so I explained to him how to take care of it. When I'd finished listing all the things he'd have to do, he replied, "That's too complicated... Couldn't we just eat it instead?" FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

At least you know he'll do well in survival situations. Next thing you know, he'll be testing out recipes with the neighbor's hamster, and the snake he found in the backyard.

As an owner of two bunnies, I can tell you that they're high maintenance. Definitely not a good pet for a young child.

If I ever have a son I hope he says something like that to me I want a little Ron Swanson for a kid

Why wouldn't you have this talk BEFORE you bought the rabbit? It's just common sense.

Yes, eating the rabbit would be a lot easier than taking care of it.

So? Rabbits were bred to be food by subsistence farmers initially

Mm tasty. cute, fluffy and extra tasty.

I have to say your kid knows what good food is

Five years old is too young to be taking care of a rabbit. Kids at that age have just barely begun to know the difference between a real pet and a stuffed animal.

so many animals get hurt because of irresponsible parents like this.

Hey it makes a great broth!

...well, your kid seems to know that real rabbits are edible, at least.

This was really funny! I bet the PETA nuts are gonna go crazy now, it will be a fun show. Like really, I love animals but you guys cannot seriously take this serious? Humor aside, you should of researched on rabbits before buying him one. If you did you would know that five is way too young to look after a rabbit. Rabbits are for older children, and five year olds can be too rough. I can't stand it when people buy an animal without researching on it first. A kitten would of been better or even a rat.
