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!
As I keep saying, I am very concerned about food supply and since I am 95-98% carnivore, meat is my mainstay. Red, ruminant meat (beef, venison, elk) is preferred, but other meat, if pastured, is ok to fill in (pork, chicken). I am anxiously awaiting my ‘half a hog’ that I’m getting from my niece ... pasture raised.
We have enough acreage for cows & meat chickens, but it’s my parents’ property & they don’t want either cows or chickens. Cows would require fixing a lot of fence, too (40-50 yo fence). We have pole barns that would be great for protecting rabbit hutches. The meat would be high quality & give me extra security. I had pet rabbits (raised a couple of litters) as a teenager so I am familiar with them. My niece (raising my soon-to-be half hog!) said a neighbor raises meat rabbits - I could probably get some breeding stock from her. I’m a good enough carpenter to build my own ‘hutches’.
Anyway, it’s “on the table” for consideration.
