How to Dispatch a Rabbit Humanely: 4 Effective Techniques

[@tjcib]

Thank you for actually showing it. It really does help. I've dispatched chickens and pigs. Deciding what method we will use for rabbits.

Glad it was helpful!

This is so helpful and important. I realized today that as I consider housing for rabbits and birds, I also need to learn and be comfortable with dispatching them. I know that this has been done as long as people have been eating meat, but in my 50 years I've never taken part in this aspect. I'm realizing that I need to learn what I can and offer to help friends who already have animals and learn from them. Thanks again for bringing this important subject to your channel.

Appreciate your videos! Me and my wife are going to start raising meat rabbits soon so I respect the advice!

That is awesome!

Great video! Thank you for the comparisons... I am about to start raising my own meat and this definitely helped me decide on a dispatching method

Very helpful info. I'd like to know your process as far as once your done cleaning the rabbit? Do you age the meat or go straight to the freezer? I'll wait for the video, :) thanks!

I replied twice but my comment keeps disappearing. Did you get any of my replies?

Thank you for showing that. I wasn't sure before, but now I know I won't be able to do the cervical dislocation method - at least not for the first several times - and maybe never. I like the captive bolt method but that's expensive so we'll see. I saw a mention somewhere of using a nail gun. Could that work?

[@kummerhomestead]

I don't see why not!

@@kummerhomestead Good to know. Thanks for getting back to me!

[@DomMcCallum]

Can you please post a link or say where you got the J-hook? I’ve tried looking it up but I can’t find one that looks like the one you used

[@kummerhomestead]

We got ours from: www.etsy.com/shop/JMMetalGoods

What about the karate chop in the back of the neck?

[@kummerhomestead]

What do you mean?

[@hastequick1618]

@@kummerhomestead Do you also use the classical technique of holding the rabbit by the rear paws and strike a blow with the dominant hand or with a club in the back of the neck? It is a very common technique that is widely used.

[@kummerhomestead]

@@hastequick1618 We don't use that technique but I know many do.
