I’d like to share an animated short called “The Runt”, which, though about rabbits and not fluffies, I think still could provide some inspiration for some people on here. Or, at the very least, it may be interesting if looked at through a fluffy lens.
For context: this animated short is about a boy whose family (his father, and uncle) raises and butchers rabbits for meat. One of the rabbits gives birth to a litter containing a runt, who is almost culled, but the boy pleads against it. The uncle relents, and gives the rabbit to the boy, telling him that he will be responsible for taking care of it, and for killing it when it’s time, which the boy agrees to.
If ya want it to be “hugbox”, stop at 6:40.
This is neither a positive or negative story, but I still think it’s good to offer the time thing, in case the continuation would be too distressing.
I don’t really count sharing this video as sharing a thing on the subjects of animal abuse, because the meat rabbits here seem to live a comfortable life up until the slaughter, and there is never the intention of being cruel to them. Meat has to come from somewhere, and though most families in the country I live don’t have a close relationship of where their meat originates (though I do live in an agricultural state), for many other families today, and certainly more so in the past, being familiar with all aspects of farming was simply a part of life.
On the subject of fluffies, there are a lot of ways to think about how fluffies can/might be used in the context of agriculture. The specifics really depend on the individual creators’ preferences, but I thought that this still might be good for possibly providing some sort of inspiration for stories either way.
