In december i save a rabbit nearby. just before the frost. he was domesticated. i didn't want a pet. I saved the poor things life. he had fleas and few days after it froze - 8. Ever since i do hate myself for keeping the animal in an asocial cage. And i didn't want a pet. Rabbits are poopmachines. they eat a lot and process a lot. and liquid the same His name is leeuwekoning (lion king) he grew so i believe he is less than a year.
So i decided to drop it outside again in springtime. to have a chat, have a gf, get eaten.
Now i decide to postpone, because maybe after first rabbit babies being born he won't be the first on the menu.
Somewhere i feel bad for 'getting him killed' he is white as hell. Somewhere i feel bad to drop him between the agouti's. But life in a cage might be worse. I can clean his diapers and buy his food, this is not the point.
Ethically i would say to let him free controlled. somewhere i do think this is a waste and irrelevant.. I would drop him with my parents so food could be present but also 2 12y old cats that hunt baby rabbits. I would drop him at work but i saw 2 foxes there.
Cooking him myself would be more ethical? The vet estimated his value at worthless.
He didn't do any damages/bite so i have no dislike to him.
I suspect you've formed an emotional attachment to the rabbit and have most likely already given it a name
Which is not 'Dinner'.
Therefore, if you feel you are not in a position to provide a lifestyle to which this bunny is entitled, I'd suggest you take him to an animal shelter where he might get the opportunity to attain this

Have to disagree with you there serene.. You see cute furry animal, I see supper!
Recently I decided to wash my pet rabbit. I used avocado and jojoba shampoo I bought from the body shop. However, his eyes started bulging out and he vomitted everywhere. Then I looked at the packet and it said "not tested on animals", so I only have myself to blame I guess.
serene56: So if you were Len, how do you suggest he prepares his rabbit for this purpose
Sneak up on it and club it over the head with a heavy object
Hire a hitman to do the dirty work
Say he's taking it for an afternoon walk then run over it with his Volkswagen in his driveway
Before you get all sentimental , let me just point out, that I don't agree in caging wild animals. And seen as Rabbits are wild animals, they should be left to roam free in their natural habitat..

Too late.
Len already said he felt this is a domesticated creature which means it would not fare well in the wild
My response has nothing to do with sentiment, it's logic-based ..
I still want to know how you would prepare this creature for eating if it were yours

For years, people have been campaigning against the cruelty of "battery hen" & how they have been reared in limited space. I don't see the difference between caging a hen or a rabbit!

Your point is moot!
This is precisely the OP's dilemma
So how are you gonna kill the rabbit ready for supper exactly

The same as I would a chicken. A quick slit to the throat , hang it & let the blood drain from the body, then skin it & chop it up into bite size pieces, ready for cooking.

So you would take the rabbit that you've rescued and cared for, stuggled over the best decision to make for its welfare, then slit its throat and chuck it in a pot with the carrots you were previously planning to give it as a treat
2 lbs rabbit, whole 1 lb turkey sausage, lean 1 cup oatmeal, uncooked instant plain 1 onion, chopped 1/2 cup celery, chopped 1/2 cup carrot, chopped 1/2 cup mixed mushrooms, portabella chopped 1 apple, cored, peeled and chopped 1 egg 1 cup beef broth 1 bay leaf 2 teaspoons sage 2 teaspoons parsley 2 teaspoons rosemary dried cranberries white wine vinegar
Wash the rabbit with white wine vinegar. Soak the rabbit in salt and water for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Pat dry the rabbit. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Mix the sausage, oatmeal, celery, carrots, mushrooms, apple, egg, sage, rosemary, parsley and onions (optional cranberries) together in a mixing bowl. Stuff inside the cavity of the rabbit. Tie closed with cooking twine. Place rabbit in a casserole baking dish, surround with excess stuffing inside foil, add well-seasoned beef stock, bay leaf and cook for 1 3/4 hours, or until tender. Cut off twine and serve.

There's no room for sentiment , where food is concerned.

Whenever I feel the urge to kill a rabbit, I like to really make a day of it. Not only do I dress up as a warlock, I also drink the blood and make incantations, before adorning a svelte naked woman lying on a marble slab with various insignias and symbols unbeknownst to others.

how to kill the bunny for dinner? break the neck first i suppose. i thought you can do that by stretching the legs apart. But i have an older friend who keeps rabbits for food.
I don't know if i could do it, we did it with chickens in the past.
Domesticated it can live for an additional 7 years. i think i owe it a fast and furious lifestyle.

Breaking its neck means instant death, no suffering.

I think I would tell it we're going abseiling then drop it from a great height while it wasn't looking
I haven't yet resolved the issue of collecting its shattered remains from the bushes far below however
