The Rabbits are on death row ...."Life or Death" your vote counts?

Question

Two years ago we bought a ranch and started getting into self suffiency.
We keep rabbits which were intended to be eaten.
The time has come for "Mr Nibbs" the big white one to bite the dust.
Should we keep them all as pets and go to the nearest super market (15 miles away) for some other meat or get the big axe from the barn?

Answer 1

spray paint them orange, and throw them into a fallow field then charge a local gun club 100 dollars each for a shootin session, make it intresting by supplying the beer and bbq. but no uzi or sub machine guns alowed it has to be sporting only semi automatic fire should be allowed

Answer 2

Don't eat anything you have come face to face with personally, let alone something that has a name. Nibbypoo might be tasty but #123X out in the barn would be a better choice.

Besides, you made this decision two years ago, why put it up for discussion now, unless you are just in this for some kind of perverted thrill. Why don't you just ask us if we think you should kill it before you skin it?

Go stuff yourself, and let your rabbits eat you!!!

And, behold, one got here and suggested unto him, sturdy grasp, what sturdy ingredient shall I do, that i will have eternal existence? Matthew 19:sixteen And those shall circulate away into eternal punishment: however the righteous into existence eternal.

John 3:15 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal existence; and that i will develop him up on the final day. John 6:fifty 4 He that loveth his existence shall lose it; and he that hateth his existence in this international shall save it unto existence eternal. John 12:25 For the wages of sin is death; however the present of God is eternal existence by using Jesus Christ our Lord. The Romans 6:23 And it somewhat is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal existence , I John 2:25 Then suggested the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and solid him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of tooth. Matthew 22:13 And, behold, I come rapidly; and my reward is with me, to furnish each and every guy in accordance as his artwork would be. Revelation 22:12

Answer 4

Rabbits used to be bred for food so I don't see why you shouldn't, if that's what you fancy for dinner, I personally prefer to keep rabbits as pets, which I do, and they are great little friends to me. An alternative could be,to grow and eat some veg instead, or go fishing in a nearby stream.

Answer 5

At two years old your bunny is a bit past it really, you'd have done better using him for breeding for a year then eating him. You'll never make a commercial success of your ranch unless you learn about farming, and stuff like feed:weight ratios.
Buy a book on rabbit breeding.

Answer 6

I don't like the way rabbit tastes. If I had second thoughts, I'd eat rice and beans, instead! Actually, Welsh Rarebit tastes better. It was a recipie created for hunters who came home without game. Yum!

Answer 7

As Wham said back in the 80s - CHOOSE LIFE!!!

Mr Nibbs is part of the family now, you can't eat him.

Keep the axe safely in the barn please... :-0

Answer 8

Alas poor Nibbs, I knew him well.

Stick to your plan and like the other answerer said don't name meat animals.

Answer 9

Give 'em the axe... you got them to eat. Word of advice though...once you give food a name it usually becomes a pet. next time just stick to naming him rabbit #1

Answer 10

I agree with the others that if you are raising any animal for consumption, naming them makes it too personal. If you don't butcher the rabbit, you will end up with many, many, many pets.
