My cousins (here in Ireland) would often go lamping, and bring some home to my mam who made the BEST rabbit stew. :-)

Rabbits are delicious.
For the poor? In German restaurants, hasenpfeffer is quite expensive. You can cook it at home as well:

2 1/2 pounds rabbit (up to 3 lb) -- cut up
2 cups dry red wine
2 tablespoons wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 bay leaves
Place cut-up rabbit in flat refrigerator container. In bowl, combine remaining ingredients; Pour over rabbit. Marinate overnight in refrigerator. Place marinated rabbit in Crock-Pot. Add 1 1/2 cups marinade. cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours. Remove meat to warm platter. Thicken gravy, if desired. Serves 4
Twenty years ago, our "nutrition center" started a bunny raising project for the local student clubs. Nothing new here...
Now, if they want to try something new, try raising cuy...aka guinea pigs, which are a good source of protein and raised in kitchens of the poor in Peru and Colombia...

It's interesting to note that the rabbit is low in cholesterol.I would think that would be the least of your concerns if you were living below the proverty level....if the University was not so politically correct it might try pig research..age old and proven....see www.pigsite.com

- Weve had a pet Angora for a few years now (a buck) who has quite a personality - I prefer them to all cats and some yippy type dogs (for pets not food)
extremely affectionate and good with children - really high maint on the fur though - stomach hairballs are a real problem with the long hair varieties - but if you clip them and brush them its not a big deal
Our little guys has gotten old though - his rear is paralyzed due to arthritis and his front legs have about 20% use - he needs daily baths and takes IV meds daily (ringers w/b12) - but the head wont die - he eats and eats everything from watermelon to apples, is happy and eagerly seeks head pets
how come you hate rabbits?
personally, house-cats are my bane
