I don't eat pork. I stopped after visiting the zoo and seeing some piglets run around for the first time; I was surprised and disturbed how similar their play was to puppies, it was obvious that they were intelligent animals.
Chicken and fish I don't have any issues eating, and I'm a selfish ass who couldn't give up steak if her life depended on it, so I eat beef too :P
I don't think most people understand how intelligent the animal is. But really, should intelligence matter? For me it does, but should it for most people? I don't know.
I chalk it up to social norms/bias regarding an animal's appearance. If pigs were smaller, cuter and fluffier, I doubt they would be eaten as much in the US as they are currently, and would likely be considered cherished family pets.
I have neither had a rabbit as a pet nor ate any. So I see them as both sort of... xD
I think both...unless said rabbit is possessed by Diablo, Lord of Terror...

So voted both.

Both! Rabbit soup is amazing, and they are super-cute
Everything you said so far can be done by rabbits as well. Rabbits can easily express themselves too. Sure they can't meow or bark but they will shake the side of the cage or throw their food bowls around, hell mine even threw it outside the cage because it was empty. Or better, he went and served himself out from the food basket. Same for drinking and water. The signs are there, it's your fault if you don't try to understand them. Same goes for every other pet.
Btw, have you ever wondered why in cartoons, films, stories rabbits are always described as being clever? While cat's are kind of dumbish?

I don't eat rabbits on purpose. If I'm being served, ok, but I won't order it specifically.
That being said, I don't really care what their purpose is.
I say it's a pet until it piddles in my spats. After that, lunch.
But seriously, I've known a few people that have pet rabbits. And all I could do was look at those cute big eyes little innocent creatures and think "That's a waste of some good meat."
I always got a chuckle out of thinking of someones pet as a possible dinner. It makes me appreciate certain cultures ability to eat dog.
In the end, dinner is in the eye of the menu-holder.

I had rabbit in a little town in Germany called Bacharach. It was delicious. Home cooked in a savory gravy. Oh . . . if only I could go back and eat it again.
Putin khuliyo
I didn't ever wonder that. My cat is almost 16 years old, and she can open doors or windows if I don't close them properly, she'll open kitchen cabinets and drag out the things she likes to eat (canned tuna, mostly), and stand over it.....
I never said rabbits are stupid, or anything. But some cats are damn clever.
