The flick of an ear moved about as the female rabbit slowly lifted her head from the crate that she was hiding behind and then quietly lifted the Dictaphone to her mouth and spoke. "So far, so good. Managed to sneak into the farm where the horrible things happen to our own kind. I'm going to venture further to see if I can find any poor souls." The rabbit slowly paused it as she got up and moved as quietly as she could through the barn, unknown that there was a camera that was silently following her as it turned, the small motor whirled as the lens focused as the female rabbit moved and changed distance.

"So, what you want to do?" The black rabbit said as he looked at the fox who had a cigarette hanging loosely in his muzzle, the golden eyes looked at the image on the screen as his black hand paw came up to take hold of the white stick, inhaled as the tip grew bright orange and then blew out thick grey smoke from his black nose. "She doesn't give up, does she?" The fox looked down at the other rabbit and saw the black furred rabbit shook his head. "Seems not, did you read her last article about Quinn's farm."

The fox sighed. "Still going on about that fuckup. Happened two centuries, didn't it?" The fox thought for a moment as the rabbit nodded, flicking a switch as the feed changed to another camera, the female rabbit had moved out of range of the last camera. "Yeah, learned it from history, didn't it start off that whole rebellion and change." The sound of the fox snorted as he quickly stabbed the cigarette into the nearby ashtray on the control panel. "Yeah, think it's time to re-educate her, contact the rest of the staff. I'll will see her first."

As the fox left, he looked back and saw the black rabbit lift the receiver and began to dial, he picked up one of the radio handsets and went out of the door. The fox was annoyed, he had managed to keep the reporter out from the farm for a long time now, but here we were, this morning before another culling session was to start and she was snooping about on private land. The fox grabbed hold of the railing as he made his way down the steps, he knew he should contact the authorities but for some reason, he decided to deal with this his own way.

Once he had reached the bottom, the fox lifted the handset and pressed the button as he spoke into it. "So where is she now?" The black furred thumb released as the speaker on the radio crackled into life as the radio signal came through. "Near where the rabbits are." The male fox nodded and spoke back. "And the wolves?" He released the button again as the reply came through with a bit of crackle in the speaker. "They're about five, ten minutes away. Staff hasn't really turned up yet this morning."

In front of the male fox, the dark corridor laid in front of him, only a few lights that dimly lit up, the farm saved money by having only ten-to-fifteen-watt bulbs put in as the fox stormed ahead as his foot paws made sounds as the claws hit the stone floor. When he reached the end of the corridor, the fox reached and pulled on the door as it opened, and he ventured out into the larger barn. Being careful, he slowly helped the door to shut down quietly and then using the radio he held, he turned it down until it clicked off and then snapped it onto his belt and began to stalk his prey. There was a strong scent of rabbit in the air as he looked to the right but then he detected something else, the fox inhaled as he took in the scene, his head forming an image as he saw the various countless rabbits that stood inside the pen and then, the fox licked his nose as he helped to focus a bit more and there she was, the scent of rabbit but also perfume hit him squarely. She was near to one of the gates. The male fox walked towards it as his ears turned to the front, straining to hear as he sniffed, smelled the rust and then the tiniest faint sound of the padlock being moved. Was she trying to break them out, the fox thought as he quickened his pace but remained silent with each step?

As he got closer, the fox began to lower himself down as he crept towards the female rabbit, the male fox slowly moved in that way, cautiously, slowly as he stalked her. Every now and again as he saw the long ears move, he stopped and waited, then continued forwards again. By the time he was a few metres from the rabbit, the male had moved onto all fours and then crept right up to her as he quietly stood back up onto two paws again and with his arms, the fox reached out, his hand paw fingers spread out as the sharp claws were getting closer and then he just simply tapped her on the shoulder as his hand paws went behind his back in an instant. "Are you lost?"

The way the female light brown rabbit jumped, made the fox smile more as she flustered, the small metal hair pin dropped to the floor as the fox looked down at the same time as the rabbit and they both looked up again at the exact same time. The fox gave a questionable look as he waited for an answer, but the female rabbit had already reached into her pocket and pulled out something. The fox quickly grabbed the wrist of the rabbit and shoved it to the side as the sound of a cannister being emptied. "Are you fucking serious here?" The fox growled as he looked to where the small fox repellent was and then back at the rabbit. "You know that by law I am quite legal in my rights to just kill you outright for trespassing." The male fox leaned forward and snarled. "So, stop this shit right now." He heard the female rabbit squeal as he tore the small cannister out of her paw and then threw it away as it clattered onto the ground. Then he took a step back and took a deep breath in and exhaled, the male fox spoke a bit more calmly. "So, let's start again, why have you ignored mine and other's requests to not turn up here?"

Now that she had recovered to just shaking, the female rabbit pulled out her pocket recorder again and thrust it into the male fox nose, the button clicked as she spoke. "I'm a reporter and I want to know why you're still murdering innocent lives when we have the technology to make fake meat." The fox licked his nose and then spoke into the machine. "Are you sure you're really ready for the answer, as clearly you're not, Miss Stevens." The female rabbit frowned as she spoke once more. "What is there to be ready for, we're standing right here, right now in what can be only be described as the most revolting thing that I've ever seen, you keep other rabbits in a pen, naked and ready for what?"

The fox smiled toothily as he replied. "To be slaughtered." The sight of the female looked sick as the male fox continued. "And if we didn't do that, then I'm afraid it would be much worse for you, shall we go for a walk, and I'll explain." Ms Stevens looked thoughtful, but slowly nodded as the male fox motioned with his hand paw to go in a particular direction and slowly the two began to walk as the male fox spoke. "What you don't understand Ms Stevens if I can just call you Stevens. I'm not sure we're going to ever be on first name status here. " The fox grinned as the rabbit just frowned. "What we're doing is saving your life and every other life out there."

The rabbit hopped forwards and spun around before arguing back. "That's a lie, we never even had a chance, you lot never-" The male fox snarled as he took a step forwards and Ms Stevens stepped backwards as the fox spoke. "Never gave you the chance, let's see how well you know history here. After the events of a farm that went out of business, the owner dying and various stock that was allowed to remain free. There was that movement that came about, where it led to mass protests, riots and even a civil war before we had our first mouse president..."

Ms Stevens looked thoughtful. "Yes, President Timmy something, had a rat running mate, his husband..." The fox nodded as he motioned for the rabbit to continue to walk as they made their way towards the big double doors and the fox pushed the right side open and both ventured outside into the bright daylight. "Yes, those two who immediately put a ban on any meat at all, forcing everyone to go onto, what was it called again? Fake meat?" The female rabbit blinked to get used to the bright light and then saw the minibus pull up as large wolves started to pile out as the group headed towards them. "Yes, and you lot never really gave it a chance." The tone in her voice was hostile as the male fox nodded at the front wolf and then saw him stop as the fox smiled. "Look who came for a visit, Miss Stevens from the press." The large grey timber wolf looked at the rabbit and snarled. "She thinks we never gave fake meat a chance." The wolf swore under his breath as the fox nodded. "Apologies Miss Stevens, this isn't exactly a good topic to discuss about us, blaming us and all. Why don't you go look at the sheep grazing in the field over there?" The fox watched as the female rabbit made her way across the yard as he turned to face the male wolf. "It's okay Don, I'm dealing with it, can you keep at least one rabbit for her to watch the process."

Don looked at where the female rabbit had gone and then growled, his deep rough voice rolled off his lips. "You should just kill her; we don't want to upset that balance again." The male fox turned to look at the rabbit. "I'll have a word with the editor once more, the mouse owes me one." Don laughed. "So how many times have you nailed that mouse anyways?" The fox rolled his shoulders. "Hey, not my fault he plays badly at strip poker. Anyways, I best get back to her before she gets anymore ideas and yes, I'll make sure she doesn't annoy you." Don growled again as his mouth snapped shut, the teeth bared. "Good as I rather not eat tough meat, bet she has that." Without another word, Don turned and headed off with the rest of the wolves. "See you a bit later Tam." Don said back towards the fox and Tam smiled before he walked off towards the fence where the female rabbit was busy talking into her pocket recorder.

"So, you're all good then?" Tam said as he rested his elbows onto the wall and looked at the female rabbit who shook her head and frowned. "Then I should just continue then?" Tam said as he took a deep breath and continued to speak. "How much of that part of history do you know, after the whole ban of real meat?" Ms Stevens frowned. "Oh, I was taught that you lot never really took it seriously and fought back to get control, sav-" She stopped as Tam sighed and shook his head. "What?" Ms Stevens asked as the fox turned to face her, a mixture of sadness and anger in his eyes. "You're not the first to come out with such, not knowing the true facts."

"Oh please, you wouldn't know the facts even if it hit you in the face." Tam turned to face the rabbit. "Time for you to learn the truth about all of this, come on." The fox beckoned the rabbit to follow her as he walked back towards the large barn again. "The thing about what you and some like you keep forgetting is that the world isn't all nice and rainbows." Tam moved his hand paws as he spoke to illustrate the fact. "That nothing bad happens, that there isn't a price to be paid." The two slowly ventured back inside again as he walked alongside the still angry looking rabbit, though as they moved closer to one part of the barn, he saw that the anger had turned away to fear. Tam smiled toothily. "Oh, don't get me wrong, it could've worked but this so-called fake meat you keep on going on about didn't have that one thing that kept us carnivores from going after you."

Ms Stevens looked at the fox, but the male pushed her into the other room where the rabbit stood dead, her eyes fixed on the scene in front of her as the male vulpine came up behind her, his breath could be felt as the female fur at the back of her neck rose, and Tam's tone changed. "You lot just wouldn't stop fucking and breeding, spreading more of yourself all over the place and that's why we had to do something to save the world." Tam pointed out to the scene in front of them both as he saw the rabbit try to turn away and he reached over and gripped the rabbit hard under her chin. "Oh no you don't, you're watching this."

There in front of them both was a rabbit, male with white fur that was being led by a brown wolf who turned to look at Miss Stevens and frowned, the anger in him, made him push the male naked rabbit forwards as he then saw Tam and nodded before returning back to being gentle with the male rabbit in front of him, they continued to walk down the line. "Let's follow, shall we and that wasn't a question for you to decline." Tam said as he gently pushed the female rabbit to follow alongside the wolf and naked rabbit. "You see, for all good and purposes that -President- Timmy had, he wasn't aware of the bigger picture, just like how you're not prepared, so I will not apologise if you can't sleep tonight or any other night after this."

All four of them came to a stop as the wolf, slowly guided the male rabbit to what could be described as a bench, the nose on the male rabbit was twitching as he slowly knelt and sniffed at the opening as Ms Stevens looked and swallowed. Tam grinned as he continued to hold the female rabbit. "Yeah, it's exactly what you think that is, pure one hundred percent on heat female rabbit hormones. Look and he's getting so excited, no brains but he's definitely getting in the mood." And the male rabbit penis had started to fill out already, lifting between the legs as the musky rich strong male arousal came about in the air as Tam slowly spoke into Ms Steven's ear. "Bet you're getting turned on right now, could have him fuck you instead." Tam nodded at the wolf who walked away to a shelf as the male rabbit slowly took hold of the fake shaped rabbit and his penis throbbed with pearls of pre that leaked from the very tip, rolling about the underside of the shaft as he pushed the dick into the hole and started to hump away. The strong back legs of the rabbit throbbed, the big foot paws moved about on the cold floor to get better traction.

Tam watched as he held the female rabbit in place. "See, we look after them so that they have a very enjoyable life, even at the end they're having the time of their lives." The wolf slowly came back with one hand paw behind his back as Tam slowly placed his hand over the female rabbit's mouth as they watched the male rabbit thrust more into the fake bunny, the wet shaft and balls as the pre splattered onto the grate below and then with clenched teeth, the male rabbit felt his cock explode as thick globs of his sticky cum splattered inside the tubing. The brown wolf quickly moved as his free hand paw grabbed the throat of the rabbit and the other came out as it held a bolt gun, placed the barrel on top of the head and Miss Stevens cried out as the loud thud came and the arms of the male rabbit fell to the sides, the eyes rolled up and then the wolf let go as the male rabbit crumbled onto the floor, his cock popped out as cum splattered everywhere as Tam spoke. "Remember, doesn't have much thought but died happy, so let's move on shall we." The fox pulled the female rabbit away as she still looked shocked, horrified as the brown wolf placed the bolt gun back to the shelf, walked back, knelt, and grabbed one of the legs as he began to drag the male rabbit along the ground. Just a small trickle of blood leaked out as it stained a small line along the grate floor.

Hanging there, the chain as the wolf slowly moved to slipping the ankle of the rabbit through the cuff and secured it as he hauled the body up to hang there in the air and then using the spare chain, he pulled on the dead torso as he walked towards the next room where both Tam and the guest had ventured into. Behind him, another wolf had started to wash away the blood as well as the fake bunny as they prepared for the next male rabbit to come along. Slowly, the wolf pushed through the heavy doors and thick rubber that hung about as they entered into another area, the whole room stank of death as he looked at the terrified female rabbit still within the grasp of the male fox and then tugged the dead rabbit to the middle of the room and just stood there as he nodded to a male tiger. The brown wolf let go of the chain, turned, and headed back the way he came as he pushed through the thick rubber hanging beams and through the heavy doors again.

Tam watched as the now shaking female rabbit just stood there, teeth gnashing away as the fox could hear those teeth scrape together as the male tiger in front of them turned around, he was naked bar wearing a rubber apron, the large feline was muscled, bar the small fat gut on his belly as the large feline hands reached up and took hold of the neck as the other with a large blade, sliced through the male rabbit's throat deeply, the sharp blade cut through the two main arteries as he let go, the head hanging there as the vast amounts of the red crimson blood splashed onto the floor below. Ms Stevens broke from the male fox grasp as she turned around and then bent over as she threw up, the female rabbit went down onto her knees and just continued to hack and cough as Tam just stood there as the male tiger stood, his feline eyes stared at the jerking male rabbit as the life drained from him. Once the last few droplets of blood had finished, the male tiger took hold of the chain and tugged as the rabbit was moved along the rails again until it was above the boiling hot bath and lowered it in, the tiger then with the foot still up in the air, uncuffed it so the entire body fell into the water and then closed the container, locked it in place as he pressed a green button as the whole container moved about spinning.

Tam helped the female rabbit up, but she pushed him away. With a growl, Tam yanked the female up and made her face him as he spoke. "For someone with a lot of views on this, you sure don't want to see it, do you?" He walked over to where the machine was and pointed at it. "We wash the body afterwards in very hot water so that all the hair and gunk is removed." The male fox walked back as he looked at her again in the eyes, the vulpine spoke slowly. "I think you've seen enough, so let's go get something to eat or drink, shall we?" The fox turned to look at the tiger and then he ushered the rabbit out of the room.

Now that he was alone, the tiger walked to the radio and turned it on as the music started to play and the male feline danced about as he whistled, the male grabbed hold of a hose and started to wash away the large pool of blood, the water pushing the thick red substance towards the main grate that led to the drain as he hummed. His tail flicked about as the feline enjoyed this part of the work, so much that he had started to form a bulge that pushed out the rubber apron as the sickening sound of the body thudded in the chamber nearby as the boiling water worked to remove all the fur from the dead torso. The tiger grabbed a brush and he started to sweep the floor to push the remaining red blood from the tile floor, then gave it another wash with the hose and nodded, the room was ready for the next customer. Plus the machine stopped turning as he made his way back towards it, grabbed a pair of thick rubber gloves, the tiger slipped them on as he held onto the very hot metal casing, turned it so that it was the right direction and then opened it as the hot water splashed out onto the ramp, quickly followed by the headless body, the remaining part that hadn't been sliced had ripped off during the turbulent wash cycle, the head bounced onto the floor and landed a short distance from the main furless torso and the male tiger talked up grabbed the head and then tossed it into the large plastic bin where other body parts that were not needed were.

Once again, the chain was gabbed as the male placed it around the ankles of the rabbit, then hauled the heavy body up into the air as he stared at the meat now, the feline was dealing with just meat as he walked to the table and then took off the rubber gloves, the feline enjoyed getting personal with his work as he took another knife and walked back to the task in hand. The feline grabbed hold of the skin that was loose and started to cut around the anus, making sure not to cut the insides, then the blade sliced over the groin and cock as the male appendage was carefully cut off, the male feline tossed the balls and dick into the bin as he moved to cutting along the belly, the blade moving downwards, then with some force, the tiger cut through the chest and then watched as the whole ribcage swung open to show off the various organs within. Due to no blood, nothing was coming out as he started to carefully pull out the intestines as well as the bladder, which in turn pulled on the kidneys. Before long, the feline was feeling all the organs from bottom of the rabbit to the top slowly come out as he moved them to the bucket, the slopped in with a sickly sound as the throat tore away as the windpipe separated from the dead torso hung over the rim of the plastic bin. Not that the chest cavity was empty, the feline walked back to the table, placed the big knife down.

Lifting the rubber apron, the feline took it off as the male tiger stood there naked, his large cock stood up as the tiger reached out and touched each of the sharp tools, the various knives and he came to a stop, picked up another cutting knife and walked back to where the dead body hung. The tiger took one of the arms and then slowly he held the dead hand paw in his own and hacked away at the wrist until the hand paw was cut off, the feline did the same to the other hand. Both of which were tossed into the plastic container. The amber coloured eyes looked up to where the ankles were and he walked away to another chain that had a large hook at the end, pulled it back to where the rabbit was and with a lustful look on his face, the tiger stabbed the hook deep into the back of the rabbit. The next thing the male did then was to reach up and he started to cut off the feet, the legs fell one by one as the male rabbit turned around and then hung there the right way up as the hook ripped a bit along the back but then held firm as it just hung there.

The last thing the feline did was putting a date stamp on the left buttock of the rabbit, the metal seared and burned the skin as it left a deep red burn mark with the date and logo of the farm, then he pulled the torso down the line again until it hit a downward turn and moved on its own as he let it leave the room to go through the thick rubber that hung down as it slid into the freezer. "Working naked again?" The rough voice from the brown wolf as he pulled along another male rabbit, small trickle of blood that bled around the bolt that had recently been shot into it. The tiger smiled back at the canine. "Hey, can't help it I love my job." The wolf looked at the throbbing feline cock and grinned. "Just don't go fucking them." The tiger nodded as he took hold of his next victim, the body was still alive and one thing this cat loved to do was to slit their throats, so they did die, he really loved this job.

Elsewhere, Tam sat next to the female rabbit who had calmed down slightly, though her hand paws were still shaking as she held onto the warm mug of tea, the rabbit took a few sips of the sweet mixture as some staff were busy at another table in front of them, eating away. Tam spoke quietly as he looked at the two foxes and a wolf. "I just got one more thing to tell you, so while you're busy trying to recover this is what I'm going to tell you."

Ms Stevens didn't say a word as Tam continued to speak. "The reason I do this, and others is that we don't want to go back to what happened when everything failed. This fake meat of yours didn't work and just look at those three right now." The fox looked towards the three carnivores as they tore into their meat, the female rabbit shook as she watched, the sound of the flesh tearing, the way that meat hung from their sharp fangs, the drool that hung from their very lips. Tam continued to speak. "What we breed here, doesn't think, they're not like you and me, especially you. They don't know what is happening. But if we were to stop then who do you think would be at the receiving end of those fangs and claws?" Tam paused as he and the female rabbit continued to watch as if the others were listening, turned to look at Ms Stevens with hungry eyes, their sharp teeth glistened in her direction. "It would be you, your child, other family, friends. And it wouldn't be a stun bolt in your head. No, the madness would make us attack, we would tear into you alive, you would be still breathing as you're eaten, in pain." Tam leant towards the female rabbit. "Imagine the searing pain as sharp claws and teeth tore into you, no one helping as you begged for it to end but it wouldn't come soon enough, just to hear your skin tear, the sound of your flesh being mushed up. That's why this place exists, that's why you should stop your whatever it is in trying to get this place and others like it shut down." Tam pulled away. "You, herbivores with your high and mighty views on how the world works." Tam tone changed as he looked towards the fire door and then at the female rabbit. "I'd leave now, I've accommodated you long enough and you are trespassing. I don't want to see you again, ever. Are we clear?"

Ms Stevens nodded as she got up and slowly made her way to the door, when she had reached it, she went through it quickly as it slammed shut behind her and Tam just sighed, the fox picked up the radio on his belt and spoke into it. "Our guest is leaving, make sure she does leave." The male fox placed the radio back down onto the table again, waited a moment and then got up as he swiped the radio off the table and went through the fire door himself and into the open air.

Don was there, watching the scene at the front gate as the female rabbit was speaking on her phone, next to him was the security rabbit whose ears were firmly turned into her direction. Tam walked up slowly as he came to a stop and looked at the scene, saw the rabbit moved and got into her vehicle as it drove off silently. "So?" Tam asked as he looked at the rabbit who shook his head. "Didn't work, heard her talk to someone on the phone about reporting this place in her article." Don looked over the rabbit to the fox as the wolf spoke. "So, what you going to do boss?"

Tam slipped a black hand paw into his pocket and pulled out a mobile, the male fox looked at it, before he flipped it open, pressed two buttons and lifted it up to his head as the sound of the automated dialling could be heard, then a voice on the other side came through. Tam spoke. "We have a problem with that rabbit reporter, Miss Stevens."
