Because Wayne, I am replying to another poster. Some think is inhumane
to eat the rabbit and others agree with me. It is about cooking
especially once I catch the little bugger. One thing I've noticed is
rabbit is generally stewed or roasted. BBQ doesn't seem to be very
popular. Besides right now we are just having a friendly converstation
of differing opinions. It isn't gone because we have been trying other
methods of scaring it off. OTOH, I'm a tad bored so am posting on this
and the food snob thread.
