If your butcher's selling rabbit he should be able to tell you whether it was ferreted or shot.

When people kill rabbits, it is a blow to the head, or a cut to the throat that finishes them off? ...............If all rabbits are killed via a hefty whack over the head, I may just buy rabbit as I know its had a quicker death than a chicken.


There is an interesting thread about blows to the head-V-neck breaking from a humanitarian perspective(don`t ask where as I haven`t a clue.....socailly confused )but I haven`t had a chance to try the 2 together.
I prefer to kill a net caught rabbit IN the net rather than remove it first.

They look lovely, both girls from the look of it? I had a pair like that called Teardrop, and Mask. 20 years ago God how time flies.
