The Catholic Church once classified beavers as fish so they could be eaten during Lent.

"In the United States, rabbits are classified as birds. Yes, birds. Since chickens and turkeys are excluded from the two federal laws offering minimal protection to farmed animals, so are rabbits. The most important one, the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act, requires protected species be rendered insensible to pain before being killed. The law excludes birds and rabbits, meaning more than 90% of all animals slaughtered in the United States are often killed fully conscious.
To be clear, there is no kind way to kill someone who wants to live and even protected species face horrific treatment and a needless death at the slaughterhouse. And while some states do mandate inspection of dead rabbits, live rabbits are routinely handled and killed in heinous manners."

So they're not classified as birds, they just share an exemption under certain laws in addition to birds.

Booooooo this clickbait!

Fine, according to whom. Cause I have a hard time believing anyone in America, or any other country, with any kind of education in taxonomy, or biology in general would say rabbits are birds. In other words, this topic is dumb.

What about calling bees, fish?

https://www.americanbar.org/groups/environment_energy_resources/publications/trends/2022-2023/november-december-2022/a-california-court-decision/

The California Endangered Species Act, passed in its current form in 1984, protects any native bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant that is at risk of extinction. Cal. Fish & Game Code 2062, 2067, 2068. And California law defines fish to mean a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals. Id. 45. Accordingly, the California Endangered Species Act protects invertebrates as fish.

Imagine going scuba diving and having to worry about swarms of aqua-bees in addition to the usual sharks and poisonous creatures and such.

That is nothing more that legalese, it isnt biologists, taxonomists, or any other kind of scientists(acting as scientists, biologists, or taxonomists), saying rabbits are birds. Sometimes lawmakers have to do things that are completely illogical to pass a law. Because sometimes, the thing that matters isnt the wording of the law, but the end effect of said law. In other words, if you need to pass a law that calls rabbits birds in order to protect to protect rabbits, then who cares? What matters is that rabbits are protected.

One needs only to look at people's tax returns, to see that the spirit of the law is often ignored for the letter.

In this case isn't it so they aren't protected though, the earlier posts said it got around having to kill them "humanely"
