since they probably would not know a lagmorph from 'rabbit' in cursive, how about:

In case of disaster, I would eat the rabbit. That's exactly what I would file as a disaster prep plan with the USDA.

Ingredients:

4 lb Rabbit
1 1/2 c Dry red wine
3/4 c Cider vinegar
2 ts Salt; optional
1/2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 Bay leaf
1/2 c Onions; chopped
1 tb Mixed pickling spice
1/2 c Flour
4 tb Butter
1 c Onions; thinly sliced
2 tb Sugar
1/2 c Sour cream

Directions:

Cut rabbit in serving-sized pieces. Wash, scrape, and soak in salted cold water for 1 hour. Drain and dry.
In a glass or pottery bowl mix together the wine, vinegar, salt, pepper, bay leaf, chopped onions, and pickling spice. Add the rabbit and let marinate in the refirgerator for 3 days. Turn the pieces occasinally. Drain the rabbit; strain and reserve the marinade. Dry the rabbit with paper towels and roll in flour.

Melt butter in a Dutch oven or deep heavy skillet; brown the rabbit and sliced onions in it. Pour off fat and add sugar and 1-1/2 cups marinade. Cover and cook over low heat 1-1/2 hours or until rabbit is tender. Turn the pieces occasionally and add more marinade if needed. Taste for seasoning. Mix the sour cream into the gravy just before serving

Disaster plan-—roast the rabbit and eat it!

[JRandomFreeper]

Technically, there isn't any rabbit in Welsh rarebit.

It's sorta like fondue for folks without a fondue pot.

Great minds think alike.

[TheGipperWasRight]

This guy must be a tea-party supporter, or drove by a tea-party supporter’s house for that kind of treatment.

I go back and forth sometimes about whether the country can be saved or not. Stories like this really make me think it’s over.

[Lurker]

Rabbits are far too lean to roast. Sear them in a nice hot pan just long enough to brown the meat. Then braise slowly in your choice of liquid. Remove rabbit when done and set aside. Reduce and season said liquid until its a nice sauce.

“It’s quite good on toast.”

You know it. I know it. FReepers know it.

But the Obama Administration speaks arabic
or just can't read at least cursive.

Or as an alternative?:

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Or “in the event of a disaster, I’ll make the rabbit disappear. Presto! I can’t reveal where it goes as that would be a magician’s secret, which is a law. You look it up.”

[Boston Blackie]

They not only want to know how I will protect my rabbit during a disaster, but also what I will do after the disaster, to make sure my rabbit gets cared for properly

The rabbit will be well cared for because it may be the only food source available.

Cut rabbit in serving size pieces, salt, pepper, roll in flour. place in hot grease in skillet, brown, add water, cover and reduce heat. Cook until tender, serve with biscuits and gravy.
