Would Ya? Could Ya?

[B00]

I'm on another forum, nosying around, and there's a post saying the cat had brought home a dead rabbit 'as a gift', and well, they've only bunged the rabbit in the oven to cook for tea!!!

There's no way on God's green earth I could do that. Worse, the rabbit didn't have any signs of wounds or injuries, so can't determine exactly how it died.

Could you? Really?

I'm hurling at the very thought!

I don't like rabbit, so on that basis alone - no!

I wouldn't eat anything the cat took home, even if it was sirloin steak.

Was it a pet rabbit or a wild one? Just wondering if some poor sod is looking for their pet!

[pixie373]

No! Or how long it's been dead for. It might be full of maggots!

Hope it hadn't been poisoned..........

Rabbit has been a staple meat for centuries.

[rockyracoon]

No way, mainly because eurgh but also what if someone poisoned it.

[B00]

Well they seemed to think it wasn't a pet, im assuming it was wild rabbit colour which is brownish right?

[rockyracoon]

Just to add, I don't have a problem with eating rabbit.

[rockyracoon]

Then I'd worry more about it being poisoned if it wasn't a pet.

I'm not squeamish about the eating rabbit bit, never tried it myself, but I wouldn't say no. It's the whole not knowing how or when it died that'd concern me.

I've eaten rabbit, it's very nice, but I wouldn't eat anything the cat had dragged in.

[murraymints]

Nooooooo...!!!!

[woofgang]

wild rabbit have fleas, worms and ticks for starters....there is no way on gods earth that I would eat one.

[pusskin]

Noooo!!! Could never eat rabbit cat dragged in.
But, rabbit stew yrs ago was delicious, with carrots, onions, barley oxos etc.
Oh making my mouth water now.

[Peaspeculiars]

Rabbit in a restaurant -Yes, lovely.
Rabbit which my cat dragged in as a present? Noooooooo...
(If the rabbit got caught by the cat it didn't run fast enough, presumably due to ill health)

[pastafreak]

Where do the rabbits in butchers come from. Are they 'farmed'?
And no...I'd never eat something the cat...or any other animal...had dragged in.

[horseshoes]

Woof, all the fleas and maggots would die in the heat of the oven!!!

Rabbit you get in the butchers are wild rabbits, shot and sold to game dealers.

[pixie373]

That's fine,then horseshoes. Don't mind eating dead fleas and maggots:D

[chickensrock]

Omg, that has to be a wind up, did they gut it/skin it, it could have had mixie, omg, the mind boggles, I managed to rear 13 rabbit babies last year, couldnt say I could eat one though, x
