My rabbit’s on fire

This is one of those things I couldn’t have made up. Stockholm has a rabbit problem, and shoots off between 2 000 and 3 000 of the cute animals every year. After that, they deep freeze them and ship them off to the medium-sized city of Karlskoga, where the bunnies go in the furnace of the local energy plant to generate heat for the inhabitants.

I don’t know if this is a creative way of lessening the city’s dependence on fossil fuels or a shocking revelation. Apparently, power plants all over the place have been using slaughterhouse leftovers as fuel, but bunnies? I didn’t even know you could set a dead one on fire.
