Answer 1

Tame rabbit is sold in stores.
It is very common in south Louisiana. You will pay about the same price as a good T-Bone steak. It is delicious and a clean tasting meat. You can find it whole, cut up, seasoned or stuffed.
Season it with Garlic Season-All and Worchestershire Sauce. Cook it in a good seasoned Cast Aluminum pot with onions, bell pepper, and carrots...it makes a beautiful gravy.
OH!! By the way...You are so right about the starving people in the world. The way rabbits reproduce, there is no excuse.
Instead of us handing out billions of $$$$ to the different countries and the people never benefitting from it...hand out rabbits "to the people".
