I am working on ways to be self-sufficient as far as food supply is concerned. This could be a piece of the puzzle - ‘easier’ than meat chickens, IMO. My niece raises meat chickens so I have a very good idea of what it takes. Butchering rabbits is a lot easier.
If raising bun-buns (I had pet rabbits as a teenager) is offensive to you, don’t click - no bad pics, but the topic might bother you.

Beau would be VERY willing to do this. Rabbit and Squirrel are WAY down on my ‘meat list.’ I’d eat beans and other proteins first.
I’ve eaten Bobcat, though. Very pork-like, actually.
Buffalo, Raccoon, Alligator and Snake, too.
Beau loves nothing more than a good bowl of Turtle Soup. He’d raise Snappers if it were legal, LOL!
