Little bit of a distortion here, they were selling rabbit meat, you cannot run a slaughter house in this country without a license and a food inspector.

Actually the article says they started by selling rabbits FOR meat not the meat itself. This is not a slaughterhouse as the animals were sold live and processed elsewhere. The principal is the same as a hog producer selling to Hormel.

Apparently the government disagree with what you say they were doing, and since they agreed it is a moot case. I believe the old advertisement I found was for frozen rabbit meat.
