In January 2012, seventeen rabbits were reported to have gone missing from a farm in Portland, oregon, the night before the farmer was due to give a class on raising, slaughtering and cooking rabbits.
The farmer said he suspected that political activists were behind the theft, but the rabbits were soon found at an adoption agency called Rabbit Advocates.
y the time the police arrived, one of the rabbits had already been adopted.
A spokesman for the Portland Meat Collective said it was the first time this has ever happened.
