Default Rabbits galore

tender shoots and newly planted stuff. When they get desperate they will
even eat my Red Apple iceplant.

And no, I do not want to cook them. During the depression my wife and I
collected road-kill rabbits and cooked them for supper. During the war (WW
II Germany) we bred them by the hundreds in our backyard and turned them
into sausage. Fortunately we no longer have a need for such desperate
measures.


If you're anywhere near Indianapolis, I will be happy to take all the fresh
rabbit carcasses you can give me. I think rabbit is very tasty. We used to
live in a rural area about 15 miles outside Indianapolis, and I hunted our
property regularly. Haven't had a taste of wild rabbit since we moved to the
city ten years ago, and I miss it.
