The missus and I have taken up raising meat rabbits this year. Fun and tasty. She makes me do the killing, but then she is right in there with the butchering. This can be done in very limited space (we live on a small lot), and is thus popular with a lot of city types, as well.
I can sympathize with her. I certainly don’t take any pleasure in killing any sort of animal. I can and do kill them but feel bad about it. Not for more than five or ten minutes though because we are carnivores and that’s the way of our lives.
