That is pretty much all I know about rabbits.

Jeez. Sounds like enough.

Tho I would never eat one, if people want to raise rabbits for meat, that's their thing. What I don't get is petting them, etc., then killing them. Just fatten 'em up in a pen and be done with it.

He was a very kind man who loved animals. All animals. He would never be cruel or unkind to any animal.

He lived thru the depression and was very, very poor. At times, all he and his family had to eat was a squirril or rabbit. He hunted out of an area in Texas, Anhuac. The 30's were very difficult times and he did all he knew to provide for his wife and 3 kids.

As far as his rabbits, he would never hurt them in any way. He really did love the animals. But when it came to providing food for the table, it was his nature to provide.

I remember my grandmother would can preserves, figs, wild plums, peaches. She would freeze peaches. Dehydrate apples. It was her nature not to waste anything. She gave much of it away, but neither she nor my grandfather wasted anything. I am sorry to say I am not as careful with my bounty.
