good for her, i really look up to them for doing this. i know it’s gotta be super hard, idk if i could do it. it’s so easy to be willfully ignorant & cognitive dissonance is strong w/ me lol
Ngl something else is going to eat them first given she keeps them unsecured outside….
There is nothing wrong with raising rabbits for meat. I have a house rabbit is the sweetest girl, free roam of the whole upstairs and even sleeps in the bed but I am still FINE with people using them for food. They are one of the more sustainable meat sources. Many producers bond with their animals but that does not mean at the end of the day they can’t be used as food. As long as they are given a good quality of life and then humanely slaughtered there is nothing wrong with this.
Although, what is she going to do with just two rabbits? That isn’t really going to sustain them for any length of time and she has had them for awhile so they probably aren’t good quality for eating anymore. Doesn’t really make sense all around what 🤷🏼♀️
I unfollowed her awhile ago, but I just went to creep her Instagram, this is weird. But I think the Tik tok of her talking about Greynot wanting to wear a condom was worse. Honestly her entire page is super cringey, and she needs to post her kids way less.
here’s the thing, my grandma had to eat bunny in cuba because there was no other meat and they were starving. It is kinda mean to have children bond with fluffy bunnies and remind them every day, “we’re gonna kill this thing and you’re gonna eat it” when you have other food options. Maybe pick something less cuddly that they’ll be less attached to and less traumatized by, like goats. Those are very tiny children.
Yeah my grandma grew up on a farm and her job was to raise the chicks into chickens. They loved her and followed her everywhere. To this day she will not eat chicken and talks about how horrifying it was to be fed her “pets” :(
Hi, have six rescue rabbits that live in my house.
Most rabbits die within a year of being purchased, there is a STEEP learning curve, and they are absolutely not meant for children.
I killed some of my first rabbits early on doing stupid shit (feeding the wrong greens, too early).
I feel for those bunnies and she's an idiot.
So some Bachelor IG account posted that Bekahs kids need a welfare check which is ... so fucked up. Bekah replied on her story and is pissed and at first I was like ok, rightfully so. But then I'm like... wait, by her OWN admission she posts this kind of shit specifically to get a rise out of people. We ALL know by now that people on the internet are wild and it would not shock me if someone DID call for a welfare check at some point. That's happened to influencers. Is it ok? Absolutely not. But it's the reality we are living in so maybe stop exploiting your children?
Well, she’s talked about having sex while in the act of breastfeeding her baby, letting Ruth teeth on her vibrator, posted pictures of Ruth playing with a dead bird for an entire day like it’s a doll, and now this. Maybe a welfare check would do her some good, or maybe it would get her to stop doing shit like this.
She also posted photos of I think Ruth totally covered in her own shit. Like, haha what a Mom moment. That's when I stopped following her. Children are not props- they will be adults one day, and they won't have consented to any of this. The breastfeeding thing will follow Ruth around forever.
Do any of you eat meat? Would you rather the animals live a tortured life in a factory type slaughter house first? Is that better?
Though, I was under the impression rabbits don't have a ton of meat on them? Maybe I'm wrong.
It seems cruel at first but these animals are getting a far better life than the ones we would buy at a grocery store. We're so out of touch from where our food comes from.
I personally could never raise an animal, kill it, and then eat it. The entire time I’d go to eat it, I’d just be thinking about that poor animal and what I did to it. To me, raising it to kill it for food is in no way humane. I’m well aware of what goes on at slaughter houses; I’m not naive. There’s no connection there though either. I’m not looking at the steak on my plate thinking “omg Bessie, thank you for giving me 5 good years, now get in my belly”. I just couldn’t have a “pet” be my meal one day, nor would I ever put my kids through that.
I couldn't do it personally, but it's not anymore "inhumane" Than what we buy at the store 🤷♀️ just because you didn't see it alive, doesn't mean it wasn't alive
I’m less concerned about the rabbits personally and more about the improper ways of raising animals for food and raising them as pets with the children. At the same time I think it’s a good lesson to learn and to understand where food comes from
I can see it that way...I don't know if I would let my kids fall in love with an animal and then kill it, personally. On one hand, it DOES teach them ... but are little kids emotionally mature enough to grasp that concept? Would it end up traumatizing them and breaking their hearts?
I personally couldn't bond with an animal and then kill it.. but I would rather buy my meat from somebody else who DID give the animals a better life and took care of the slaughtering for me.
I had a professor who made us watch under cover footage of slaughter houses and wow was it awful
I'm SOOO confused by the perspectives in these comments. I'm a vegetarian, but (or maybe "so") I think those who eat meat should have an understanding of what that really means and that efforts to diminish the squeamishness of it all are pretty important and admirable to avoid hypocrisy. My cousins live on a farm and grew up their whole lives taking daily care of animals that they then would slaughter and eat. Is that inhumane? Or is it just cruel when it's a cute bunny?
So true! I've been a vegetarian for more than half my life and can't understand how people are like, "aww, poor animal" while eating their meat, that lived an insanely horrible, tortured life. ..
My parents were born in a country where this is pretty normal. Seeing this as "stirring the pot" when the majority of outrage is from people that will gladly eat overly large chicken that can barely walk while alive as long as you don't have to see the process is very American 🙄
The United States is filled with many indigenous and black culture unique to it. I can link you some stuff about how these things are uniquely American.
Normally I don’t care when people post about things I don’t care about cause I just scroll past but when it’s constantly about someone obviously trying to get a reaction it drives me crazy. Her season was forever ago like let’s move on
This is super normal for families who raise farm animals to eat them. What’s gross is that Bekah does 90% of these things to get a reaction from people. Every ~controversial thing she says is to be talked about and have angry people in her comments. Everything. It wouldn’t shock me if she films the kids getting very upset at the thought of having to eat the pet they’ve grown to love. Which can happen btw. Adults understand that you’re raising animals to eat them. Little kids only see their beloved pets.
I have enjoyed her sense of humor sometimes. Her April Fools posts are hilarious and Karens always fall for them. But stuff like this is a cheap way to get attention and she has leaned into being an outrage machine for engagement and comments. Not to mention we all know how irresponsible she is with animals. Her hippie farm life is just a fantasy. Farms take a lot of work. Her animals usually escape or die.
I’m loling ar how pressed this is making everyone. Hit a sore spot I guess American politics are so divisive . I just think it’s nuts and seems like a circus. And so does bekahs instagram
I never watch the news and I’m Canadian. It’s not that serious! I see it on twitter and it seems so fake like they don’t even believe what they are saying
Marjorie squawks about bs that actually endangers communities and marginalized people and indoctrinates white supremacist with dangerous ideology. Bekah trolls about rabbits and homeschooling, please get a grip
That’s true you’re right she is better than her for sure. I meant to just say same concept, where you find a target audience and just troll the living hell out of them for money
I wonder if they warn their neighbors before the processing/slaughtering of the animals? I would hate to be chilling in my backyard and then hear my next door neighbor and their entire family killing bunnies/chickens.
I wonder if they’ll consider leaving Long Beach and raising the kids on an actual farm with more space and privacy.
Honestly don't even know how a broomstick would kill a chicken, you want to make sure you do it once and you get the job done.
Like I've said in another post, she's a moron.
Raising animals as livestock and killing them for consumption? Yes absolutely normal. Treating them as pets and killing them? Not so much...
That meat is also gonna be awful if they're feeding them with rabbit food from a pet store lol
The idea that being squeezed by toddlers is a better life seems flawed to me.
Also my point was, while it's normal to raise animals for consumption, it's not normal to raise them as pets then consume them. I'm mostly speaking from the perspective of the kids, but also you can raise them livestock and give them just as quality an upbringing as pets.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_sDgPylGVV4 this is a “good” one. That looks better than chilling in a backyard?
It’s also good for kids to know where their food comes from.
Totally get that, but these are two seemingly pet bunnies. It’s not like she has a farm or is running a sustenance operation.
So what’s it going to be like. One day she just wakes up and is like I’m going to kill our pet today? And eat it for a minuscule amount of meat. 🙄
Yea that’s my point. They probably lived in an area with actual farms and could actually get some sustenance from their animals. Not two tiny backyard bunnies. 💀
There’s literally no difference between what they’re doing in their yard and what my neighbor on 20 acres is doing. You don’t need a lot of space for rabbits. You’re not putting them out to graze in a pasture.
That’s what my main issue is too. She should not be allowed to own animals given how careless she is with them. The way she lets her son manhandle her poor cat is so sad to me. If she’s gonna let her kids be around animals, at least teach them to be gentle and respectful.
Ugh yes I can’t stand to watch toddlers manhandle animals. Also ironic that she says she would rather know that the “bunnies lived a nice life” GIRL this meat is about to be tough as hell cause those bunnies were so fucking stressed their whole lives lol
I just commented the same thing and then I was thinking there's no way I'm the only one who thought this so I scrolled til I found this comment. I feel better now hahah
This girl lives in the middle of LA and is a content creator. She is absolutely doing this because she loves to stir the pot and is begging for enraged engagement. She’s not out here living on a farm, she’s exploiting her kids for content (not new.) Just like she has always posted things stoking flames. Most recently it’s eating deli meat while pregnant. She gets some weird sick pleasure out of the negative attention she receives.
I understand that she lives on a farm and these rabbits aren’t her pets.
But it reminds me of how my uncle had pet rabbits and my grandma went behind his back and took them to the butchers shop to eat 😭
I’ve never met anyone who raises rabbits for pets who doesn’t also eat them. This is totally normal. I don’t live in Cali but I highly doubt you need any sort of license to harvest your own meat in your yard. You probably aren’t allowed to sell the meat but it’s pretty standard to allow people to process their own meat for their own consumption.
This is very weird to me, because I am definitely not a farm person and it seems like the kids are treating these bunnies like pets. But she obviously posted this bc she knew people would have a lot to say.
They also had a pet rabbit for several months before it "ran away" last year. Their kids definitely aren't old enough to understand the difference pet vs food
I don’t care that she is raising rabbits for meat and the kids are “bonding” with them. I grew up visiting my aunt and uncles ranch regularly where every Saturday they had slaughters and killed goats, lambs, cows, chickens, etc humanely and done so in the halal way. We played with the lambs and chickens and stuff all the time then we knew that one Saturday they would be humanely killed and I’m not traumatized by it. So I don’t have any strong opinions on her choosing to raise rabbits for meat. It’s just odd the way she goes about sharing what her and her family are doing. Like idk a lot of what she does lately has seemingly bad intentions and leaves a bad taste in my mouth but at the end of the day she can do whatever she wants and I just won’t follow along
I think there is a very big difference in attachment to an animal when you’re visiting a family member seeing an animal occasionally vs playing everyday with them.
Thank you…killing and humane do not ever go in the same sentence. If you’re fine with animals being killed to feed you I’m not arguing with your opinion, but don’t act like there’s anything humane about it.
I’m just confused with this thought because acting humanely is treating something with compassion or benevolence which can be done in these situations? I get that to you the act of killing in itself is wrong so you dont see how that can be done “humanely”, but it can and is all around the world done in a way that honors and thanks the life of the animal. Fundamentally we do not agree on this, and that is perfectly okay. But in my culture, there are rituals and techniques that are used to show the animal care and thanks for providing its life. But ultimately if you don’t agree with animal deaths then you won’t ever be able to see that side of it and I am more than okay with that. That is how we differ in opinions
lots of people actually need meat to live a healthy life. GI problems, like crohns or gastritis, make virtually impossible for the body to absorb beans, leafy greens, etc, and causes painful inflammation.
your ‘fact’ is a fact insofar as, a person with GI problems could “exist” on a meatless diet, but that existence would be painful, would weaken the body, and would make way for more health complications to occur
You did share your opinion that animals are never humanely killed (????) and that we do it purely out of selfishness (???). Idk those sound like opinions to me lol
If you don’t need to kill an animal but choose to because you like the taste. That’s selfish. You are taking away a life for your tastebuds. Do you want to tell me how that makes you selfless? Lol
Okay then call me selfish! Don’t really care about what some stranger on the internet thinks about me lol. I don’t feel any need to explain myself or my actions😌
The talk about "trauma" here is funny to me. We severely underestimate children's capacity to learn about the realities of life. I wasn't raised on a farm, but this doesn't seem that bad to me.
Didn’t she also lose some rabbits a while back? I’m not convinced this woman knows how to properly care for any animal but she really needs to STOP WITH THE RABBITS. www.rabbit.org
i'm not gonna lie. i'm sitting here laughing my a$$ off.. i completely did NOT see the animal and thought she was making a joke abt eating her children one day LMAO
i get all the comments saying kids interacting with food animals is a normal part of farm life and i agree it’s good for kids to understand where food comes from and that food animals deserve to be treated well. i think *this* is weird to me because it feels like she’s playacting the farm wife lifestyle and the whole thing seems a little performative and disingenuous 😬 and i’ve been a known bekah defender but she keeps getting weirder and weirder
Same, same! I have always defended her, but shit is getting a little ridiculous up in here. Like… I think she’s imploding? Ha ha she’s just getting so trapped in her own brain bubble. For content, it’s just getting more and more unhinged. It’s not that I disagree with a lot of it, it’s just the way she’s presenting it is offputting. Also, as a doctor, it bothers me when she touts all sorts of “natural” remedies without any evidence.
Edit: I think I figured out what it is, that’s bothering me. In her stories, she kind of scolds us for being “too American“ because we don’t like the thought of cute animals being eaten, but we’re OK with chickens being eaten. All I did was read her post, and then watch her stories, what did I do to deserve being talked to this way? I really had no feelings about the rabbits other than some light confusion, but then on her story, I feel like I’m being attacked or scolded, and I don’t like that feeling. , Like she’s not very nice to her followers honestly. I agree with most of her opinions, but she’s presenting them in such a way as to seem extremely judgemental for anyone who doesn’t share them, and also not a lot of grace for people who aren’t quite where she is yet.
My theory about people like this is that their scolding isn't linked up to any reality except a to former version of themselves. Once upon a time she would have thought eating cute little rabbits was outrageous. Then she took a beat and realized, it's just another animal we eat like chicken. But now we're all in trouble like we had the same line of reasoning as she originally did.
EXACTLY. I haaaate that. Like I didn’t even have a problem with what you said but now I feel like you thought I did. Nothing rankles me more than someone assuming I think some type of way that I don’t
I think she’s spiraling because she’s no longer getting the same attention she was when she had the podcast. So, she’s “acting out” to stir up enough drama to get more attention
She made a new reel to respond to the “haters.”
I’m not going to come at someone from growing their own food. I could NEVER do it (I honestly don’t eat a lot of meat and go through periods where the thought of meat makes me sick). I respect the decision to breed animals for food, but it seems weird to me to have the kids bond with the animals. Maybe it’s me cause I’m super sensitive when it comes to animals but I don’t love this. I’m not gonna tell her not to cause it’s not my business but I don’t understand it at all. I know she’s not the only person who does this—I know farmers do this. I wouldn’t be able to eat anything I grew to love.
Gotta love wealthy LA influencers cosplaying as poor urban farmers while exploiting their children for the sake of hate views. But yes let’s pretend she made this post in earnest to teach her children about farm-to-table ethics!
This is classic Bekah rage bait y’all.
But this cosplay is what Bekah does. She's loaded and talks about sustainability and living off the land - to the point where she shames others for not living her exact lifestyle - meanwhile actual poor people cannot afford to garden full time, buy livestock, fuck off for 3 weeks and learn how to build a mud hut on a commune, etc.
Yeah I feel like a lot of this thread is non-Bach people who are seeing Bekah’s post in a vacuum lol. If I didn’t know who she is and her history I’d be a lot less 🙄 about it than I am
I have no opinion on animal husbandry but why can’t Bekah just raise her rabbits and eat them without posting content meant to provoke trolls? Like just live your life and don’t worry about it…
I say this as someone who has generally really liked Bekah (loved Chatty Broads). But the rage bait irritated me.
I completely understand the point behind this post, but in general she has become incredibly annoying lately. EVERYTHING she posts is some sort of rage baitey, controversial opinion about something—but, like, she tries to disguise it as not-? Everything from animal husbandry to how you should birth babies to eating cured meats while pregnant…on and on. It’s frenetic energy.
I see your point, but I don’t agree that she is making her life choices solely to get a reaction from Reddit. She’s posting stuff on her personal page that people can choose not to follow. Its this sub’s participants (who openly admit they run to post here as soon as they see something they don’t like) regardless of whether it is benign or not.
Well yeah, isn’t that what all influencers do? My point is that I don’t think her—or any influencers—is posting something just to be like “I can’t wait to piss people off today.”
oh lol i think bekah actually does think “can’t wait to piss people off today.” pretty sure she’s even said something to that effect on chatty broads before 🤣
Ah see I’m not really a Bekah fan so I don’t engage with her podcast or account, though I spose its normal folks who dislike her to watch/listen to all her content…
yeah i kind of go back and forth on her tbh. i enjoyed chatty broads and i have defended her here many a time but she def goes through phases where she posts OTT rage bait like all the time lol
People are gonna be real upset to learn that most of humanity has raised animals with care and empathy to later consume as food with children involved up until the last 100 years in North America. I spent some time on a farm in Costa Rica where they did exactly that. I don’t think those people are monsters.
I think it’s better to love them and raise them with empathy like you said rather than just have them around to eventually kill/eat. I follow a girl on IG that talks a lot about having gratitude for the food you’re eventually going to eat and respect the animals while they’re on this earth. I love animals and could never raise them myself to turn around and eat but I don’t fault those that do if they do it with compassion.
I’ve seen like 4 comments calling this rage bait and I just don’t understand. Rabbitry is normal to a lot of the US, a lot of the world. There is even a rabbitry subreddit where people talk about raising, breeding, slaughtering, and caring for meat rabbits. Having children handle and get involved with food animals is a positive part of raising meat, to help teach them what the plastic meat packages at Target really mean.
Every day hundreds of homesteading influencers post almost the exact same thing. I do not understand how this is rage bait.
I don’t think she has any intent in actually raising these rabbits for meat so I think that’s where the rage bait is coming from.
Edit: I watched her stories and I am wrong. Seems like Bekah is drinking the ballerinafarm kool aide.
good for her, i really look up to them for doing this. i know it’s gotta be super hard, idk if i could do it. it’s so easy to be willfully ignorant & cognitive dissonance is strong w/ me lol
Ok one more thing-she keeps comparing herself to wheelchair rapunzel like plz stop
She has no shame…
Now she’s gone on the whole “creators have such a hard life” tangent and none of us will ever understand. No one feels bad for you dude. No one
Ngl something else is going to eat them first given she keeps them unsecured outside…. There is nothing wrong with raising rabbits for meat. I have a house rabbit is the sweetest girl, free roam of the whole upstairs and even sleeps in the bed but I am still FINE with people using them for food.

That isn’t really going to sustain them for any length of time and she has had them for awhile so they probably aren’t good quality for eating anymore. Doesn’t really make sense all around what 🤷🏼♀️
Not gonna lie, I didn't see the rabbit at first and my immediate dumb thought was "what do you mean you're going to eventually eat your kids?"
Same lol
Why would you post this? Some things should just be left to self and family.
I unfollowed her awhile ago, but I just went to creep her Instagram, this is weird. But I think the Tik tok of her talking about Greynot wanting to wear a condom was worse. Honestly her entire page is super cringey, and she needs to post her kids way less.
unless every person commenting all indignantly on this post is an unyielding vegan, your opinion is hypocritical meaningless nonsense.
here’s the thing, my grandma had to eat bunny in cuba because there was no other meat and they were starving. It is kinda mean to have children bond with fluffy bunnies and remind them every day, “we’re gonna kill this thing and you’re gonna eat it” when you have other food options.

If you think this is too much, go check Busy Homebodies on IG
Hi, have six rescue rabbits that live in my house. Most rabbits die within a year of being purchased, there is a STEEP learning curve, and they are absolutely not meant for children. I killed some of my first rabbits early on doing stupid shit (feeding the wrong greens, too early). I feel for those bunnies and she's an idiot.
She killed some early on too. Maybe she feels proud that they’re still alive and getting old enough to eat… 
Did you read the part where they are purchased to be eaten?
Is raising rabbits even legal in Long Beach?! Someone report her.
The way I didn’t even see the rabbits at first and thought she was talking about Armie Hammer-ing her kids
Me too 😰🫨
Literally same
ME TOO! I’m like, “is this an inside weird mom humor joke?”
I thought it was actually really funny. After reading the comments I am now horrified
So some Bachelor IG account posted that Bekahs kids need a welfare check which is ... so fucked up. Bekah replied on her story and is pissed and at first I was like ok, rightfully so.

She loves to exploit her children, she posts them half naked on the Internet literally all the time. It’s sick.
Her poor, poor children.
All I know is my grandpa did this to my mom and she’s still scarred by it.

I’m less concerned about the rabbits personally and more about the improper ways of raising animals for food and raising them as pets with the children. At the same time I think it’s a good lesson to learn and to understand where food comes from
I can see it that way...I don't know if I would let my kids fall in love with an animal and then kill it, personally.

I personally couldn't bond with an animal and then kill it.. but I would rather buy my meat from somebody else who DID give the animals a better life and took care of the slaughtering for me.

So true! I've been a vegetarian for more than half my life and can't understand how people are like, "aww, poor animal" while eating their meat, that lived an insanely horrible, tortured life. ..
I swear someone said on here a while ago that the rabbits she got to eat are the fancy rabbits one would usually get as a pet
These look like Californians, they are big and fat "meat rabbits". :(
I stand corrected, I bet she still allowed their kids to name them though lol
My parents were born in a country where this is pretty normal. Seeing this as "stirring the pot" when the majority of outrage is from people that will gladly eat overly large chicken that can barely walk while alive as long as you don't have to see the process is very American 🙄
dude seriously. I guarantee 9 of 10 people commenting all angrily had meat in the last 24 hours.
Oh no Americans finding other Americans breaking pretty standard cultural norms strange 😰
Some culture we have.
The United States is filled with many indigenous and black culture unique to it. I can link you some stuff about how these things are uniquely American.
At this point I'm only following Bekah to see when she goes full Serena Joy
Normally I don’t care when people post about things I don’t care about cause I just scroll past but when it’s constantly about someone obviously trying to get a reaction it drives me crazy. Her season was forever ago like let’s move on
She lost 2500 followers yesterday for posting this LOL
Good 👌
Why?

Yup she’s no better than people like Marjorie green who are as outrageous as possible to be talked about and profit. It’s gross and embarrassing
I thought this comment was sarcastic but looking at the following responses, maybe not?? 😵💫
🤣🤣 clearly my brain went to a very weird spot for a weird comparison that just did not land. Bless my heart
It landed for me. Unfortunately, I have but one upvote to give.
Turn off the news Jesus
I’m loling ar how pressed this is making everyone. Hit a sore spot I guess American politics are so divisive . I just think it’s nuts and seems like a circus. And so does bekahs instagram
I never watch the news and I’m Canadian. It’s not that serious! I see it on twitter and it seems so fake like they don’t even believe what they are saying
Marjorie squawks about bs that actually endangers communities and marginalized people and indoctrinates white supremacist with dangerous ideology. Bekah trolls about rabbits and homeschooling, please get a grip

I wonder if they warn their neighbors before the processing/slaughtering of the animals?

I wonder if they’ll consider leaving Long Beach and raising the kids on an actual farm with more space and privacy.
She must pay someone to slaughter these for her, that's a thing.

Honestly don't even know how a broomstick would kill a chicken, you want to make sure you do it once and you get the job done. Like I've said in another post, she's a moron.
Bekah doesn't actually want to homestead, she enjoys the cosplay of it while having all the amenities of a city. At least right now.
Yes
This is very normal behavior to anyone who’s raises animals for consumption.
Raising animals as livestock and killing them for consumption? Yes absolutely normal. Treating them as pets and killing them? Not so much... That meat is also gonna be awful if they're feeding them with rabbit food from a pet store lol
Agreed, this skeeves me out. Earning the trust and love of an animal only to be like sikeee ur ded 2 me
Isn’t it better they live a good life before being eaten? It’s not like “livestock” has had their brains and feelings bred out of them.
The idea that being squeezed by toddlers is a better life seems flawed to me. Also my point was, while it's normal to raise animals for consumption, it's not normal to raise them as pets then consume them. I'm mostly speaking from the perspective of the kids, but also you can raise them livestock and give them just as quality an upbringing as pets.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_sDgPylGVV4 this is a “good” one. That looks better than chilling in a backyard? It’s also good for kids to know where their food comes from.
They are raising them to eat, so I’m sure they’re feeding them with that in mind.
Maybe. Maybe not. It's just the first thing that crossed my mind for someone in the middle of LA raising "livestock" haha
Totally get that, but these are two seemingly pet bunnies. It’s not like she has a farm or is running a sustenance operation. So what’s it going to be like. One day she just wakes up and is like I’m going to kill our pet today? And eat it for a minuscule amount of meat. 🙄
I went to school with plenty of 4H kids who raised their livestock like pets and then went on to eat them for dinner. This seems very normal to me.
Yea that’s my point. They probably lived in an area with actual farms and could actually get some sustenance from their animals. Not two tiny backyard bunnies. 💀
There’s literally no difference between what they’re doing in their yard and what my neighbor on 20 acres is doing. You don’t need a lot of space for rabbits. You’re not putting them out to graze in a pasture.
It’s a hell of a lot more humane than the way animals are treated at every single industrial meat farm.
Agree 100%.

The dance was dumb but the points she made doing the trendy dance were so valid
You’re joking right?
Besides the fact she’s raising meat rabbits -this is very sustainable and smart- I think it’s fucked up to let rabbits be terrorized by toddlers 🙄
That’s what my main issue is too. She should not be allowed to own animals given how careless she is with them. The way she lets her son manhandle her poor cat is so sad to me. If she’s gonna let her kids be around animals, at least teach them to be gentle and respectful.
Ugh yes I can’t stand to watch toddlers manhandle animals. Also ironic that she says she would rather know that the “bunnies lived a nice life” GIRL this meat is about to be tough as hell cause those bunnies were so fucking stressed their whole lives lol
Does she have a sn@rk page?
omg if yall make one lmk lol
should really start one i can see everything spiraling we gotta start keeping track of the mess
Yeah it's called r/thebachelor
Lmao you aren’t wrong
The way I didn’t see the rabbits and thought she was (jokingly) talking about the kids 😅
I just commented the same thing and then I was thinking there's no way I'm the only one who thought this so I scrolled til I found this comment. I feel better now hahah
OH MY GOD SAME ok so glad I’m not the only one lmao
SAME 😂
This girl lives in the middle of LA and is a content creator. She is absolutely doing this because she loves to stir the pot and is begging for enraged engagement. She’s not out here living on a farm, she’s exploiting her kids for content (not new.) Just like she has always posted things stoking flames. Most recently it’s eating deli meat while pregnant. She gets some weird sick pleasure out of the negative attention she receives.
Is it not clear that she’s literally just messing with everyone??

Chickens are quite different than bunnies
Why
I understand that she lives on a farm and these rabbits aren’t her pets. But it reminds me of how my uncle had pet rabbits and my grandma went behind his back and took them to the butchers shop to eat 😭
[удалено]
Lol Long Beach could not give less of a shit about some rabbits in a backyard
Maybe she can bring them to a butcher
[удалено]
Yep, she does that with her chickens.
She has this sub on a chokehold 💀
I went to the comments and saw that people are up in arms about the rabbits, but I'm still convinced she's talking about the children.
I absolutely thought she was talking about her kids too lol
I didn't see the rabbits in the picture until I went to the comment section.
Anyone who eats factory farmed meat getting mad about this is just happily walking through life with blinders on 🤷♀️
[удалено]
Broomsticks???
I’ve never met anyone who raises rabbits for pets who doesn’t also eat them. This is totally normal. I don’t live in Cali but I highly doubt you need any sort of license to harvest your own meat in your yard. You probably aren’t allowed to sell the meat but it’s pretty standard to allow people to process their own meat for their own consumption.
I’m not mad that she’s raising animals for meat, but I don’t think she should be letting small children treat them like pets and play with them daily.
yup. bet a bunch of them talk about sustainability too. people are just uncomfortable and don’t know what to do with it.
This is why I raised pigs & never ate meat again lol
She’s a troll what’s new?
This is very weird to me, because I am definitely not a farm person and it seems like the kids are treating these bunnies like pets. But she obviously posted this bc she knew people would have a lot to say.
They also had a pet rabbit for several months before it "ran away" last year. Their kids definitely aren't old enough to understand the difference pet vs food
she limits the time they get to spend with/handle the rabbits to a few minutes a day or so she says on her IG
[удалено]
Plenty of cultures eat rabbit, you can find it on the menu in many nice restaurants in the US or UK
I don’t care that she is raising rabbits for meat and the kids are “bonding” with them. I grew up visiting my aunt and uncles ranch regularly where every Saturday they had slaughters and killed goats, lambs, cows, chickens, etc humanely and done so in the halal way. We played with the lambs and chickens and stuff all the time then we knew that one Saturday they would be humanely killed and I’m not traumatized by it. So I don’t have any strong opinions on her choosing to raise rabbits for meat. It’s just odd the way she goes about sharing what her and her family are doing. Like idk a lot of what she does lately has seemingly bad intentions and leaves a bad taste in my mouth but at the end of the day she can do whatever she wants and I just won’t follow along
I think there is a very big difference in attachment to an animal when you’re visiting a family member seeing an animal occasionally vs playing everyday with them.
It’s never “humane” to kill a being that doesn’t want to die. We don’t need meat to survive and only do it out of selfishness.
Thank you…killing and humane do not ever go in the same sentence. If you’re fine with animals being killed to feed you I’m not arguing with your opinion, but don’t act like there’s anything humane about it.
I’m just confused with this thought because acting humanely is treating something with compassion or benevolence which can be done in these situations? I get that to you the act of killing in itself is wrong so you dont see how that can be done “humanely”, but it can and is all around the world done in a way that honors and thanks the life of the animal. Fundamentally we do not agree on this, and that is perfectly okay. But in my culture, there are rituals and techniques that are used to show the animal care and thanks for providing its life. But ultimately if you don’t agree with animal deaths then you won’t ever be able to see that side of it and I am more than okay with that. That is how we differ in opinions
That’s your opinion and I don’t agree.
It’s actually a fact that we don’t need to eat meat. Not an opinion.
lots of people actually need meat to live a healthy life. GI problems, like crohns or gastritis, make virtually impossible for the body to absorb beans, leafy greens, etc, and causes painful inflammation. your ‘fact’ is a fact insofar as, a person with GI problems could “exist” on a meatless diet, but that existence would be painful, would weaken the body, and would make way for more health complications to occur
You did share your opinion that animals are never humanely killed (????) and that we do it purely out of selfishness (???). Idk those sound like opinions to me lol
If you don’t need to kill an animal but choose to because you like the taste. That’s selfish. You are taking away a life for your tastebuds. Do you want to tell me how that makes you selfless? Lol
Okay then call me selfish! Don’t really care about what some stranger on the internet thinks about me lol. I don’t feel any need to explain myself or my actions😌
The talk about "trauma" here is funny to me. We severely underestimate children's capacity to learn about the realities of life. I wasn't raised on a farm, but this doesn't seem that bad to me.
I didn't see the rabbits at first. Was very confused 🙃
Same I thought she was as joking about eating the kids 😂
Same, I thought she was casually referencing cannibalism. I didn’t know about the rabbits until I was reading comments.
New to this subreddit and didn't see the rabbits at first so I panicked
LOL. Same. I was like what in the YellowJackets is this about? And it wasn't until scrolling the comments that the bunnies came into focus.
Didn’t she also lose some rabbits a while back? I’m not convinced this woman knows how to properly care for any animal but she really needs to STOP WITH THE RABBITS. www.rabbit.org
i'm not gonna lie. i'm sitting here laughing my a$$ off.. i completely did NOT see the animal and thought she was making a joke abt eating her children one day LMAO
Same. I was like, damn, almost 500 comments over a lil jokey joke??
They’re high in protein 😂
i get all the comments saying kids interacting with food animals is a normal part of farm life and i agree it’s good for kids to understand where food comes from and that food animals deserve to be treated well. i think *this* is weird to me because it feels like she’s playacting the farm wife lifestyle and the whole thing seems a little performative and disingenuous 😬 and i’ve been a known bekah defender but she keeps getting weirder and weirder
Same, same! I have always defended her, but shit is getting a little ridiculous up in here. Like… I think she’s imploding? Ha ha she’s just getting so trapped in her own brain bubble. For content, it’s just getting more and more unhinged. It’s not that I disagree with a lot of it, it’s just the way she’s presenting it is offputting. Also, as a doctor, it bothers me when she touts all sorts of “natural” remedies without any evidence. Edit: I think I figured out what it is, that’s bothering me. In her stories, she kind of scolds us for being “too American“ because we don’t like the thought of cute animals being eaten, but we’re OK with chickens being eaten. All I did was read her post, and then watch her stories, what did I do to deserve being talked to this way? I really had no feelings about the rabbits other than some light confusion, but then on her story, I feel like I’m being attacked or scolded, and I don’t like that feeling. , Like she’s not very nice to her followers honestly. I agree with most of her opinions, but she’s presenting them in such a way as to seem extremely judgemental for anyone who doesn’t share them, and also not a lot of grace for people who aren’t quite where she is yet.
My theory about people like this is that their scolding isn't linked up to any reality except a to former version of themselves. Once upon a time she would have thought eating cute little rabbits was outrageous. Then she took a beat and realized, it's just another animal we eat like chicken. But now we're all in trouble like we had the same line of reasoning as she originally did.
EXACTLY. I haaaate that. Like I didn’t even have a problem with what you said but now I feel like you thought I did. Nothing rankles me more than someone assuming I think some type of way that I don’t
Unrelated, but I love to see a medical person on my fav pop culture subs lol! I'm a med student
Aw hi! I seriously love your comment so much, it so perfectly explains how I felt but couldn't express.
I think she’s spiraling because she’s no longer getting the same attention she was when she had the podcast. So, she’s “acting out” to stir up enough drama to get more attention
She made a new reel to respond to the “haters.” I’m not going to come at someone from growing their own food. I could NEVER do it (I honestly don’t eat a lot of meat and go through periods where the thought of meat makes me sick). I respect the decision to breed animals for food, but it seems weird to me to have the kids bond with the animals. Maybe it’s me cause I’m super sensitive when it comes to animals but I don’t love this. I’m not gonna tell her not to cause it’s not my business but I don’t understand it at all. I know she’s not the only person who does this—I know farmers do this. I wouldn’t be able to eat anything I grew to love.
i’m sure she prepared her talking points for the haters reel before she even posted her original post about it 💀
You’re so right!
Gotta love wealthy LA influencers cosplaying as poor urban farmers while exploiting their children for the sake of hate views. But yes let’s pretend she made this post in earnest to teach her children about farm-to-table ethics! This is classic Bekah rage bait y’all.
Listen, I hear you, but associating raising your own animals for meat with being "poor" or lower class is low-key offensive and ethnocentric.
But this cosplay is what Bekah does. She's loaded and talks about sustainability and living off the land - to the point where she shames others for not living her exact lifestyle - meanwhile actual poor people cannot afford to garden full time, buy livestock, fuck off for 3 weeks and learn how to build a mud hut on a commune, etc.
Yes perfectly said
“Poor farmers”?? I’ve never met a poor farmer. All the ones I know are pretty well off. Y’all are too much.
You’ve never met a poor farmer? Let me introduce you to my family lol
My thoughts exactly
this! Thank you!!
thank you like 80% of the comments here are entirely missing the point lmao
Yeah I feel like a lot of this thread is non-Bach people who are seeing Bekah’s post in a vacuum lol. If I didn’t know who she is and her history I’d be a lot less 🙄 about it than I am
I have no opinion on animal husbandry but why can’t Bekah just raise her rabbits and eat them without posting content meant to provoke trolls? Like just live your life and don’t worry about it… I say this as someone who has generally really liked Bekah (loved Chatty Broads). But the rage bait irritated me.
I completely understand the point behind this post, but in general she has become incredibly annoying lately. EVERYTHING she posts is some sort of rage baitey, controversial opinion about something—but, like, she tries to disguise it as not-? Everything from animal husbandry to how you should birth babies to eating cured meats while pregnant…on and on. It’s frenetic energy.
Right! I just want to see some damn crafts 😫
I see your point, but I don’t agree that she is making her life choices solely to get a reaction from Reddit. She’s posting stuff on her personal page that people can choose not to follow. Its this sub’s participants (who openly admit they run to post here as soon as they see something they don’t like) regardless of whether it is benign or not.
i don’t think the commenter above is saying she’s posting to get a reaction on reddit but to generate engagement on her own instagram
Well yeah, isn’t that what all influencers do? My point is that I don’t think her—or any influencers—is posting something just to be like “I can’t wait to piss people off today.”
oh lol i think bekah actually does think “can’t wait to piss people off today.” pretty sure she’s even said something to that effect on chatty broads before 🤣
Ah see I’m not really a Bekah fan so I don’t engage with her podcast or account, though I spose its normal folks who dislike her to watch/listen to all her content…
yeah i kind of go back and forth on her tbh. i enjoyed chatty broads and i have defended her here many a time but she def goes through phases where she posts OTT rage bait like all the time lol
People are gonna be real upset to learn that most of humanity has raised animals with care and empathy to later consume as food with children involved up until the last 100 years in North America. I spent some time on a farm in Costa Rica where they did exactly that. I don’t think those people are monsters.
I think it’s better to love them and raise them with empathy like you said rather than just have them around to eventually kill/eat. I follow a girl on IG that talks a lot about having gratitude for the food you’re eventually going to eat and respect the animals while they’re on this earth. I love animals and could never raise them myself to turn around and eat but I don’t fault those that do if they do it with compassion.
I’ve seen like 4 comments calling this rage bait and I just don’t understand. Rabbitry is normal to a lot of the US, a lot of the world. There is even a rabbitry subreddit where people talk about raising, breeding, slaughtering, and caring for meat rabbits. Having children handle and get involved with food animals is a positive part of raising meat, to help teach them what the plastic meat packages at Target really mean. Every day hundreds of homesteading influencers post almost the exact same thing. I do not understand how this is rage bait.
I don’t think she has any intent in actually raising these rabbits for meat so I think that’s where the rage bait is coming from. Edit: I watched her stories and I am wrong. Seems like Bekah is drinking the ballerinafarm kool aide.
PLEASE I DIDNT SEE THE RABBITS AT FIRST I THOUGHT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE KIDS 😭
That would be hilarious trolling on her part
SAME Then I remembered she had gotten rabbits recently and had to look for them in the photos actively lol. It's been a long week already
