Manila, Philippines, Oct 27, 2021 / 18:19 pm
An Oblates missionary priest in the Philippines has been breeding rabbits for a year now to feed the poor in his parish in the outskirts of Manila.
“Rabbit meat is the perfect answer to the problem of hunger,” said Father Eduardo “Ponpon” Vasquez of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate to the Asian Catholic news site LiCAS.
The priest of the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace parish in the Diocese of Kalookan said the idea of breeding rabbits came to him while he was working with homeless people in the parish.
“We have to teach them how to produce their own food,” the priest said, according to a report first published in LiCAS.
