Subject: RE: Hunting, poaching and whaling songs
Rabbits would be a problem if everyone went veggie. I remember that at one stage when I had a bedsit in a rural enclave I went to help the next door guy get his harvest in. One third of his crop was lost to rabbits from a warren on his neighbour's land.
I do like the taste, so they aren't a problem to me, and I wouldn't mind where they came from. We've got away from the situation where they were farmed by an owner. That isn't the case with pheasant, though with the shoots putting the bodies in landfill, I don't suppose it would be that wrong to acquire some for the pot. Oh, bother, of course, they'd be losing income... And hare is endangered.
