Sure, it's a water bug but bugs is bugs.

Whole Foods Market has been selling rabbit meat for a few months in Northern California and Washington, D.C., but it hasn’t been an easy process. Nor has it been without controversy, according to a recent Fox News report.
When it first offered rabbit meat, the grocery store chain issued a press release carefully explaining why it took four years to set up an acceptable production process as well as its own set of standards:
Take into account that rabbits are social creatures.
Require living conditions with continuous access to water, food, and other necessary items.
Treat injured animals.
Careful breeding procedures informed by their prolific breeding habits.
Despite these precautions, animal rights activists are very upset and the group Rabbit.Org has a site dedicated to equipping those who want to protest at the stores.
If everyone feels like this, Whole Foods will likely pull the product, right?
Not too many generations ago, everyone alive had a familiarity with the entire process of providing meat for consumption – from birth to table – but nowadays it’s hidden and unseen by the vast majority of people. That may make it easier for protestors and animal-rights activists to gain a following, but it doesn’t mean that it makes a lot of sense.
The question is obvious: why should rabbits – a readily available, inexpensive to duplicate, and legitimate source of protein – be any different than any other meat product?

Well cat meat is stringy, not all that good. Except at the local Chinese restaurant. Now dog and horse, that is a good meal. Just ask Obama.
