_not easy one to find

By BRUCE LEVETT
‘THE CANADIAN PRESS

Scarborough, a bedroom
borough of Toronto, has had
it with Henry.

As a result, soon nobody’
will be able to keep kan-
garoos there. Nor shall ele--
phants, boa constrictors or
+ eobras be ) permitted to grace

the premises.
One of the sad facts of life’
is that the kids have to grow
up and move on. And so it is
with Henry.
Now, Henry isn’t any of
the above. Just a cute, little

sample bylaws from “the °
neighbors.

Oakville hes a dandy which
prohibits the keeping of
whales in backyard swim-

ming pools, but that didn't |

seem to fit..
East York has regulations
covering alligators, ‘pythons,

and jaguars.
*” Ottawa is opposed ‘to cham--

eleons, vipers and’ birds of

paradise,
. Penone of these were pre-
cisely what Scarborough had:
in mind.
Instead; they drafted ani
nt

ball of fluff that captured the
country’s heart when he got
lost for two days last Spp-
tember.

Even: the neighborhood
children, who loved Henry
and gambolled ‘with him,
couldn't find him and Henry
‘finally went home by himself.

But it’s a long, long time
from September to January.
and, in that period, Henry. .
has been fulfilling his destiny
and maturing into that
which nature intended — a
full-throated African lion.

HAS TO LEAVE
So Henry has to leave his

only to find that to try to list
every. animal, they. frowned
on would be too cumbersome.

Aha — we'll list the, ani-
mals we DO permit. Nope.
Same Sproles

‘years, marsupials,” primates ;

from great ape to monkey,
constricting snakes and any"
poisonous creature they
might be harboring. .

And Henry. .. q

Felines and canines‘are on
the list, also, with exceptions
for house cats‘ and dogs.

. (Sorry, Henry, you're too big ff
to slip through the apparent ©

loophole.)

And, since the ‘new regu-
lations specify the’ selling or
owning of any or all listed,
gone are the days when you

‘could nip down to the corner

present for the girl who has
everything: .

It isn't really your ‘fault,
Henry. You -couldn’t help
growing. .

‘h solution
is to. adopt a. general - list

mals by species. -

If it passes, the bylaw will

low-key promotion, The piov- R

ince’s third rabbit abattoir,
recently, y,opened near Quebec
- Clty, provides some: super-
market chains with’ fresh
meat

Stsces have found that
rabbits, . which. weigh,
between 1.1. and ‘1,
grams each, sell -best in 4
package of cut-up’ pieces, :
rather than: as whole car-
casaes.

Boutin. also. had his de-

partment’s . nutritionist pro: °

duce ‘some rabbit recipes. 9
“It's as:easy to ‘prepare as
chicken, but people are afraid
to try. People don't change
easily their eating habits.””
There are some'1,000 rab-
bit “producers. in‘. Quebec,
Boutin said, although few are
in it full-time and many close
down for winter. because they,
do not have adequate | build-

ings.
a 1979, they produéed for

. food, ‘since the méat would
cut into imported beef. con:
sumptions

It would also help farmers
diversify production to get

’ them through lean: years.

“Consumers are also look-

+ ing for'varlety. Even people

who enjoy rabbit often cath
get it.” -

One factor against supeing

on rabbit is ita price, which at

. $2.79 a-pound is about twice

> the “price of chicken.

One reason for the higher
cost is that despite the rab-..
bit's’ reputation for fast

» breeding — Mrs. Rabbit, can

have as mgny as 45 babies a-
year — they havea a high mor-
‘tality’ rate.

Another reason is that only
about "60 per cent of the
rabbit is. ‘edible, compared
_ with 75 pér cent of a chicken,

for ‘example. And the rabbit.
has to e&t nearly twice as:

ts

much as! ftho chicken to pro-
-duce’ a kilogram of flesh,
Boutin’ explained.

A spokesman for Stein-: ‘

berg’s Ftd. said. the supe!
market chain began sellin
frozen rabbit in some stores

Jess thana year agoand fresh '*

rabbit about four months

ago. Stores in ethnic neigh: *,

borhoods sell from 100 to 120-
fresh rabbits a week.
