I always had to stand on the porch holding the rabbits and squirrels rear feet while Dad, who was on the ground, did the skinning and gutting.
Probably started doing it when I was only 5 or 6, but I still remember how to do it if need be.
We also took part in slaughtering hogs and steers, and killing and cleaning chickens on our grandparents farm.
It never occurred to us girls to object.

I would have a hard time with a rabbit or squirrel, a fish wouldn’t disgust me I could gut a fish!! I think it is all about where you are raised and the life you experience when you are young!! For me anything with fur would be tough!!

You guys are too old. There’s things called grocery stores now. They are equipped with all your eating needs.
