Their rabbit meat comes from China, where there are NO humane laws, so the rabbits suffer horrifically during their short lives and brutal deaths. Rabbit meat from China is also not USDA-inspected.
If we can successfully get Central Grocers to stop offering rabbit meat to their member stores, the rabbit meat will be virtually eliminated (except in restaurants) from Illinois.
Please contact Central Grocers and politely ask that they reconsider selling rabbit meat. Please let them know that Whole Foods stopped selling it in 2015 and 2016, as did a number of independent grocery stores in the Chicago area, such as Tony’s Finer Foods, Roundys.com, Treasure Island,Valli Fresh, Angela Caputos, Strack n VanTil and Ultra Foods.
