Reading about Rabbits reminded me of my 'child-hood' friends, family. They bred rabbits for food. They lived "off the grid" so to speak.Sorry for bringing that memory back to you.
It was the most wild experience I've ever seen, and came to admire in a twisted way.
I loved visiting their home.
They had hundreds of rabbits and I must admit because there was 14 children in the family, everyone picked out a favorite pet. I was even included in the process, even though I was just a guest. One more little 8-16 year old girl in the home was not even noticed as a visitor.
Our favorites became breeders. Rabbits have a personality and the chore to care for the rabbits was always given to the younger children. (myself included) We couldn't help but to fall in love with them.
I did NOT like the harvest time. To be honest, I saw it only once, and I started to cry so bad that the mother actually took me inside and began to hold me and rocked me in her arms to calm me down like I was her own child. Just thinking about that memory has me in tears right now. As a clueless child I didn't know that what I thought was a piece of fried chicken was really a rabbit. I remember thinking the food always tasted better than what I was fed at my real home. It is a strange thought to be sure but seriously, I learned so much from that event. Enough to know I never wanted to see it ever again. I became a vegan, when having dinner with the family afterwards. They raised Pigs, Cattle, Chickens and Ducks too. I feel blessed to have been given that lesson in life though. I didn't mind eating the scrambled eggs in the morning. In fact duck eggs are much better tasting than any restaurant would/could ever serve. It was so hard for me though to grow so fond of the little creatures. I've held the little chicks in my hands. Watched them grow. Put my hands underneath the hens, to gather those eggs.
It is also part of the reason I refuse to Hunt, even though I live in a place that people travel too and spend Thousands of USD, just to kill a single Deer, or Elk, or Moose. I have a hunting license, that I refuse to use unless I was starving. I do catch fish however. For a resident, the license is nearly free but you must have it. Thank God there is a grocery store just down the street or I would certainly be starving myself. This was what life was like in the wild, wild west, when I was a child.
No, I don't have an aquarium. However, I love watching fish swim too. The rainbow trout caught and baked right on the edge of the river, is incredible. (as long as my 'Boys' put the worm on the hook for me.)
