Ah, OK, I see where you're coming from.

One of the reasons I wanted to do small game is because it is less messy and
easier to do. If you recall, we didn't have a lot of mess with the lamb,
even though he did take much longer than intended to die. Any proper
butchering is going to be a bit messy, but unless you're totally
incompetent, a bit of blood on your hands and maybe the odd droplet on your
pants or shoes ought to be the extent of it. If you'll recall, even though I
took care of the viscera on the lamb, I had blood on my hands but not much
elsewhere. With rabbits, the problem is much simpler and smaller- the pig,
if we do it, should be less messy than the lamb.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
