I prefer taking the rabbit.  But I like

better than advancing rabbits.  I don't think anyone took the time to look at this, so maybe I'm missing something.

 
I like that move, will silver let f6 rabbit die? But breaking the frame would not be fast and we could take g4 rabbit meanwhile.
32g Dg6w Df6e rf7s Re2n
32s hc5e hd5w Re5w (rb8e/Db4e)
33g Rd2n Rd3n Rd5e Re3n
But attacking e5 rabbit seems would lead to huge advance in the middle. It seems to me be almost unstopable ...
Is that OK?  
(To be able to capture g4 rabbit in this variant we have to put rabbit to f4 later, but I don't suppose we need to do that.)
 
Silver would probably push e5 rabbit backwards on 32s in which case we would gladly capture g4 one.
 
something like ...
32g Ee6e Ef6w rf7s Re2n
32s hc5e Re5s hd5e cb5e/rb8e ... leading to the same position after 33s
33g Hg3s rg4s rg3w rf3x Hg2n
33s rb8e rc8e rd8e re8e ... or unfreezing by dog or cat in 34s
34g Hg3n Hg4s rh4w Rh2n
34s rf8s ef5e Dg6n eg5n
 
I vote for this move.
 
but  
32g Ee6e Ef6w rf7s Re2n
32s hc5e Re5s hd5e cb5e
33g Hg3s rg4s rg3w rf3x Hg2n
33s Re4w he5s Re3w he4s
34g Rh2w Rg2w Rh1n Rh2n ... would probably lead to taking silver horse a hostage, dog for horse exchange or goal race favorizing gold if f6 rabbit would be left die.

In spite of the lively discussion, all seven voters chose to kill the rabbit.  We are truly a mob.
