Tastes like crap. You couldn’t pay me to eat rabbit.

I thought there is an alligator, python, problem in Florida? If so, I doubt the bunnies are much of an issue?

I’m sure Darks is involved somehow.

Never understood the idea of rabbits as pets.

And I certainly never understood the idea of just letting your unwanted pet loose in the wild.

Cruel and irresponsible.

Okay, that is a beautiful bunny right there. I loved my rabbits when I had them. Smarter than cats, so personable.

First time I had rabbit I thought it was chicken until I was informed otherwise.
Went back for a second helping.

My daughter many years ago had a rabbit, Mr. Wiggles, that would come and sit by me when I was working in the garden or yard...................

Alfalfa fed rabbits are quite tasty. De-boned, dredged in flour, pan fried in bacon grease, salt, pepper, and savory herbs. Also only butcher them in late fall and winter. Don’t consume them in warm months. I’m not sure why? But the flavor and meat texture is different. Not as good.

I’ve eaten farm raised rabbit before, and it’s not bad.

Wild rabbit is something else, though........

My niece had one it use to kick and bite my brother. He hated it.

I have hunted and eaten cottontail rabbits. Ok to eat. Never ate domestic rabbits but I assume they would be less gamey

Looks like a fancy breed of oversized hamsters.

No thanks. Those things don’t see a hard freeze which means they’re probably full of parasites. The cold kills the bugs and makes the rabbit safe to eat.

I hunted a lot of cotton tail as a kid and was always told only eat them when there is a R in the month. I dont know why either.
