The Complete Guide to Butchering Rabbits

How to slaughter your own meat rabbits on farm in a safe, easy and humane way.

This is an interesting farm video of how to process a rabbit in a fairly quick, conscientious and humane way, using stunning rather then a bullet. It's actually quite an interesting topic to watch on Youtube, as while the animal is pretty much the same, people have slightly different techniques on how they dress animals. Rabbits are pretty good sources of meat, with their carcasses producing about 3 to 4 pounds of meat from each 6 lb rabbit.
