“We want hunters to know you can get very sick and the rabbit can appear very normal.”

This is getting out of hand, these apparently normal rabbits ...

See BS has no idea how this article has helped Americans locate terrorists. Once the terrorists begin harvesting wabbits American Hunters can unload on ‘em and when the terrorists lay bleeding on the cold ground out in the woods, the police will say ... I can see you thought he was up to no good. Show me your terrorist’s hunting license and I’ll be on my way.

A few years ago in Arizona there was a veterinarian who died of it after hunting rabbits.

You’d think a vet would know about that sort of thing.

It’s not a disease that gets much press. Even the doctors who treated my Dad had a difficult time diagnosing it.

I recall taking the same precautions in Arizona. We ate a fair number of cotton tails and no one got sick.

His encounter with peter cottentail is timeless. I think there’s a video of it on youtube. Does anyone have the link?

I thought the same thing, but I posted it to FR for 2 reasons. 1. Becuase many freepers are hunters and should know the warnings and 2. Let freepers decide if this is just more MSM “Keep up the agenda” writing.

No silly, you have rabbits confused with oysters. You are only supposed to eat oysters from the Gulf in months that have a “r” in it. :)

Welcome to the home of conservative keyboard activists. Do you mean the HTML sandbox? If so just do the inhouse search.

We pretty much lived on wild game during depression. During the big war we had been moved to the “city” of Huntsville, Ala. so my brother raised white rabbits in the backyard. We ate those bunnies.
