Dutch Farmers Use Tabasco Sauce to Stop Rabbits

I don’t know that this is news, but it does support something I strongly believe.

Dutch farmers have found a hot new way to keep rabbits, birds and rodents away from their crops. Tabasco sauce. The new initiative seems to be making everyone happy.

Everyone that is, except for the rabbits, who farmers say jump a meter in the air and run for cover after tasting the spicy American sauce. But farmers say its working. And animal protection spokesman Niels Doorlandt calls it a wonderful alternative to the shotgun.

What, you may ask, is my belief that this tidbit supports? Simply this: rabbits are stupid. Tabasco is good.

Let me say that again. Tabasco is good. Use it on W Ketchup for your fries, put it on eggs, mix it in your hamburgers, splash it on your red beans and rice — heck, try it with anything, even rabbit stew. This stuff is so good that Frodo and Sam carried a vial of it with them on their adventure into Mordor.
