Hare Raising Deal

rabbits

According to a story in today’s RIA NOVOSTNI, Russia and China have signed a major trade agreement concerning raising Rabbits just in time for Easter.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yang signed nine economic agreements in Moscow, including deals on cooperation in banking, energy and rabbit husbandry.

The Kostroma Region-based company Russky Krolik (Russian Rabbit) now has a new partner in Beijing, and the agriculture ministries of both countries will be working together to develop the fine art of cuniculture, or breeding rabbits.

The story reminded me of the great scene in Red October where the submarine’s first mate dreams about living in Montana.  He looks forward to getting a fat American wife and raising rabbits.  His plan even calls for getting a recreational vehicle.  It’s hard to imagine him raising rabbits in China.
