When I was a kid growing up on Long Island, there was a rabbit form that
raised rabbits for the fur. They had a small store where they sold the
meat... only open on Saturday. It must have been very cheap because we
ate rabbit often... roasted or as hasenpfeffer.

As a grown up... I hunted rabbit often when I lived in Wisconsin, but
only in the late Fall after the first few snow falls and cold snaps.
That killed off the fleas and ticks, etc.
