Very bland farm raised. Wild rabbit (cottontaand hare (jackrabbit) are extremely tasty, have more protein and almost no fat. Cook some wild on the grill and watch dos and cats line up. They know.

T I K :" Male rabbits tend to reach sexual maturity at around 3 to 4 months old.
Females are sexually mature at around 5 to 6 months old. The average gestation (pregnancy) period for rabbits is 31 days, more or less depending on variety, size, and age.
A female rabbit, or doe, gives birth to between one and nine kits, or baby rabbits .
A kit should reside with its mother for 6 weeks or more to obtain adequate nutrition from the mother, since they are born hairless, and blind.
"

That means that rabbit population in a 'hutch' would be self-sustaining after about 7 1/2 months.
When you and your family are starving, I doubt that you ( or your neighbors) would wait 7 1/2 months for a meal with meat.
Also, see an earlier post about 'rabbit starvation', whereby rabbit is too lean to be your sole source of meat (need fats and oils) alone.

I predict a run on French cookbooks in Spanish translation.

That is such a good idea. It can supply the carbs and fat that you are missing in the rabbit meat.

Eating a lot of rabbit meat can make you ill or kill you.

Absolutely. I cover that in my book "When There is No FEMA". Rabbit can be a good part of a survival diet, but it needs to be complimented by other foods.

If it grows in Venezuela they would probably be better served by growing sweet potatoes. That would certainly help to compliment the rabbit meat. Hopefully they have plenty of citrus.

Docbarleypop :" didn’t Detroit try to do this too? "

No Detroit didn't try to breed rabbits for food
They tried to breed like rabbits,
and the lead in the water affected their kits.
Socialism shares in mutual misery.

In Michael Moore’s documentary Roger and Me, the local government evidently gave grants for rabbit raising. Only remember because we raised rabbits for food without being paid to do it.

Most of the modern survival books come across as copy-and-paste jobs. “When There is No FEMA” is 500 pages of all original content - 3 years in the making, and created to be a textbook-quality reference.
