poor bunnies[/quoteWe had a pet one once and I really wished I had eaten it. Fox got it, though not soon enough for my liking. It was a fearsome creature. It growled, spat, kicked and nibbled cables. It sat in its cage and thumped endlessly. It was the summer without vegetables. Give me a rabbit stew any day. I think that wild ones taste better but a farmed one still makes a very good stew.
Why bother with all the hutches, feed, straw and work involved in keeping and breeding them. Open any local paper and you will see an ad titled 'Rabbit free to good home'. These have usually outgrown their hutch or the kids have got fed up with looking after them. Tender and fat through lack of exercise, perfect for the pot. Take a nipper along with you to convince the donor that you want a pet. Get it for nothing and usually a hutch for stoking the boiler. As for paunching them, slit them from @rsole to breakfast time and one big shake straight after killing it. It all drops out apart from the lights.
