Protests are beginning to be heard
against the wholesale shipment of
rabbits out of the State. From Han
cock county, literally thousands of
live rabbits are being shipped every
week. A few years ago, either from
disease or trapping or both, rabbits
almost disappeared from many sec
lions in Hancock county where they
we're formerly abundant. At the
present rate of shipment, they will
soon again be cleaned up. Rabbits
are not destructive, and have their
own place in natures ordering of the
wild life of Maine, if no more impor-
tant than furnishing food for foxes,
bobcats, hawks and owls that would
otherwise prey more extensively on
game birds, deer or domestic fowls.
Rabbits, too. have a food value which
would do much toward solving the
high cost of living problem but for a
local prejudice that prevents their
extensive use as food.
And that suggests that this mat
Ter of taste is largely question
of latitude and longitude. We
turn up our noses at rabbits, and
cells, and ship them to the markets
o. New York and Boston, while we
smack our lips over strip of fish,
dried in the sun. that makes our
neighbor a few miles to the south of
r. hold his nose. And our neighbor
a few miles to the north of us eats
whales blubber; so there you are.
