@Hyolobrika @cee @shebang If you are going to hunt wild rabbits, you have to wait until around November because apparently, there is some disease you can get from them if you eat them during the summer and cooking them thoroughly won't even kill the pathogen.

Raising rabbits on the other hand depends on state/local laws and it's difficult to buy rabbit meat from stores (both local and chain stores) because some people are attached to them and will even protest if a store decides to sell them. You even have rabbit advocacy groups that organize such protests. Link related.

Though I'm pretty sure that these protests and local laws are co-opted by cow and chicken farmers because eating smaller, easier to raise animals like rabbits means that people are less dependent on corporate farms.

Is that a law "for our own good" or just a good idea?
>Raising rabbits on the other hand depends on state/local laws
Is it impossible or difficult due to those laws?
>some people are attached to them and will even protest if a store decides to sell them. You even have rabbit advocacy groups that organize such protests
What does that have to do with governments allegedly not wanting people to eat rabbits?

It's a good idea.

>Is it impossible or difficult due to those laws?
Difficult. You better have a good place to hide them if you are going to raise them illegally.

>What does that have to do with governments allegedly not wanting people to eat rabbits?
It just shows how difficult it is to obtain rabbit meat. But I'm pretty sure that governments will start cracking down on them even more in the coming years.
