apologia pro cuddles mea

Italian Luisella showed me this photo over coffee in the Stephens Green Centre.
I was briefly transported.
For a moment the mighty Heelers could only make cooing sounds.
She told me that her father breeds the rabbits in the garden of the family home at Bricherasio.
"What does he do with them?" I asked still entranced. "Does he sell them?"
"No," said Luisella matter of factly. "We eat them."
