Can rabbit meat catch on?

[Nagishkaw 510]

There are many many studies that are consistently showing the meat quality is dragged down by intensive farming methods and being badly handled at slaughter.

The Chinese beg to differ and think just the opposite.

That's is terrible and wrong. There are more kosher ways to kill them.

It's not kosher to eat rabbits-- it's forbidden in the Bible... ethical would be the less ironic word

Kosher? Kosher is one of the problem areas for animal welfare - slitting the throat and draining the blood (usually by hanging the animal upside down on some kind of hook) without any form of stunning is highly problematic if you do not want the animal to experience suffering while they are slaughtered.

See above

the meat of an animal that is treated well and killed in the least disturbing ways is markedly superiour to meat produced in an cruel environment, it's scientifically distinguishable.

Superior is relative. In Korea, the dogs that are killed for Kegogi are tortured to death, as to ensure that they release the most amount of adrenaline, which supposedely brings about sexual prowess and alpha-male dominance in the man that eats it.

rabbit is yummy

It sure is. They would feed it to us in the navy.

Hossenfeffer is one of my fave German dishes.

Surprisingly they fed us rabbit in the Army. I grew up eating rabbits sometimes as we ate a lot of different animals. I liked rabbit.

I have to disagree. I was in Korea for 2 years and ate Kegogi many times and even helped tp prepare and never saw one tortured. But then again there are different regions that prepare them differently so maybe but I never saw one tortured ever.

I like rabbit depending on the dish, I've had good ones and ones where the taste was a bit too gamey (and I've eaten a lot of game in my life).

I think some people lost the point in the to eat or not to eat rabbit, as with any type of meat you can have clean, sanitary and humane ways to raise and slaughter the animals for consumption, and the cruel, nasty ones. So the whole rabbit thing the OP is talking about what's being discussed below are two different matters.

I've never quite taken a liking to rabbit. Frogs, okay. Venison, yeah okay. Buffalo, good.

Rabbit and emu are the two meats I didn't really like.

Oh, and lamb. I just can't bring myself to eat lamb.

Scandal and Spooky would hunt you down if you eat lamb. The two of them adore sheep.

As for me, I only eat fish, chicken, beef, and pork. I tried alligator in Florida and lamb on the 3rd St. Promenade but I will never have rabbit or anything else aside from what I have already tasted, not even duck.

I was invited to a special restaurant that served dog soup by a group of Koreans that I worked with, and that's what I was told by them. But, YMMV. It was a horrible experience and I felt really awful about eating it. Man shouldn't eat man's best friend.

I can't eat animals that I have once considered a pet. My husband likes rabbit, and in Peru another animal that they enjoy is guinea pig His mother used to raise them and sell them for meat when he was younger. They had chickens too.

It's a different culture. As long as he's not under the impression that I'M cooking it for him, it's all good We can go out to eat and he can order rabbit and I'll stick with my chicken thank you very much

I don't think there's any real "humane" way to kill an animal, but there are certainly some really messed up ways... and if you can cause an animal less pain why wouldn't you?

There are some parts of this country where people eat squirrels and opossums...even river rats.

Nutria rats!!!!! They tried marketing that in Louisiana. I don't actually know anyone who has ever tried one.

LOL...I think Andrew Zimmern tried it on Bizarre Foods. I'd try it...once.

It's true, we tend to forget that in this huge country of ours we have lots of different cultures and foods.
