Does anyone cook and eat rabbit? - Page 9

I know it has to do with life style, how you're raised, and what you're used to, and everyone is entitled to live how they want and certainly eat what they choose...I just can't figure out how anyone could point a gun at something like this and pull the trigger..... ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$ ${#emotions_dlg.wub}$

Same way they kill Bambi. Sorry , but it doesn't ever come to "to keep from starving"- as long as there are fruits and veggies. I despise hunting season, but have many family members, who look forward to it. ${#emotions_dlg.crying}$

I could never hunt, but that is just me. I cried for days , when my mom killed a chicken that Grandma brought over from her farm. No way could I have ever eaten a bite.

If it can love, I can't eat it. That eliminates my ex-hubby. ${#emotions_dlg.devil2}$ j/k ${#emotions_dlg.sneaky}$

You'll find my heart at the Rainbow Bridge.

When I was very young, I lived in the country in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We drank milk directly from the cow, raised and killed and ate our own hogs, grew our own vegetables, and I have no idea if I ever ate a rabbit--I imagine we ate venison. For the first few years of my life we didn't have indoor plumbing, had an outside spring house to keep things cold, and a pump on the porch to pump water. Later when I was married to a hunter, I lived with a deer head on my wall named "Oscar". I didn't like it then, and I wouldn't like it now. I always asked my husband how he could look at those eyes and shoot a deer--he shot that one with a bow. Didn't understand it then and don't understand it now. That's just me.....

But just because I drank milk straight from a cow back then, and ate sausage and milk gravy made straight from the hog and the cow, doesn't mean I have to do it now. So we make our choices...I choose to live differently now because I can. As I said, everyone is entitled to live how they choose and certainly eat what they choose, and it doesn't matter how I lived when I was five, it matters to me how I live now. I can make different choices now, and I do. I love all the little wild animals, and the big ones. Anyone who wants to eat rabbit, squirrel, deer, etc. can do that and I find no fault with it whatever - I hope they enjoy it...that's their choice. If I were starving and forced to eat a rabbit, I probably would...but I still wouldn't have to like it.... ${#emotions_dlg.scared}$ ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$
