I don't eat rabbit either, wasn't real whoopie on Deer meat either, until we
had one given us. If you don't want to eat a animal that is your choice. I
don't like veggies either but Vegans don't harrass me about it. I would have
probably  had to eat rabbit and squirrel and such in period, face it beef
was probably expensive, but today I can go to the market and get chicken,
beef or pork. I don't have to eat rabbits. I think Cows and Pigs are cute
when there born but I still eat them. Of Course my aversion to rabbit is
from when I was young around 8-10 yrs old and my Uncle in a very cruel
manner tacked the rabbits to the barn wall and then cut their throats. Sorry
if that didn't go well with your coffee.  That is reason I won't eat them.
