ummm what is eco friendly about rabbit skin rugs? seems like that was pretty eco devastating!
You know… they do breed like rabbits. ;-D
OMG! He also killed defenseless trees and used them for building and to provide heat! No doubt he removes water from a stream as well. Eco-terrorist!
Thanks Adrian, I wasn’t aware rabbits were an endangered species. this man should be ashamed calling himself eco-friendly.
Maybe be used trees that came down in a storm? jk
