Hi
No, it isn't easy, but we tend to the view that if you are going to eat meat it is morally preferable to give the animal as good a life as possible, dispatch is as quickly and humanely as you can and then not waste any of the meat. Killing any animal is a very profound experience in my view and not to be taken lightly. I always get a bit upset and sad, but would find it hard to justify eating meat if I couldn't face the process, and I don't want to be a vegetarian! I don't expect everyone, or even anyone, else to share that view, but it is one we have come to ourselves, and feel OK with.
No we don't have children, at least, not here, our children being 27 and 29, but at least one set of friends has a son who is very fond of the rabbits but likes rabbit casserole even more. We live in rural France and don't yet have a gun so chickens get their necks wrung and rabbits get picked up, held firmly and knocked very hard on the back of the head - all over in about 30 seconds from being picked out of the hutch.
I did originally say I didn't think I could cope with rabbit raising for the pot, but the economics of it make it a bit of a no brainer. I do work quite hard not to get too attached to the litters - the breeding stock are called Mopsy, Flopsy and Roger (which is his job description as well as his name) and they will get an honourable burial when they go! We don't EVER name the litter rabbits that are going in the pot, via the freezer.
