Time to Process The Growouts

[@TheMadeofhonor]

With the price of meat going up people should be thanking him for this information and buying their own rabbits instead of insulting him. He's trying to help us all with this know how. Thank you sir for sharing your know how with us.

[@sjordan7085]

Consuming meat is totally unnecessary, period. I have done without it for almost seventy years! I have owned rabbits for several years. They are protected from the elements, live in big pens in with opportunities to explore and exercise. They eat high quality fresh Timothy hay, and drink water from large crock bowls to make sure they are never thirsty, and the water stays cool for them. They get their nails trimmed and eat fresh greens, and herbs daily as well as a little fruit for treats. They have apple branches to chew on, and straw to keep them warm in the winter. And, they live as bonded pairs, so they are not lonely. Never, ever once have they been covered in the filth the doe in this video is covered in. If you think this man is kind to animals, you have a serious problem. Not everyone eats meat or is prepared to cause animals to suffer. Decent moral humans show compassion. This man doesn't have even know what the word means. Also, poverty or an unwilliness to spend money to provide comfort to animals is no exuse, because cruelty is never justified under any circumstances! People like this need to be reported for animal cruelty!

@S Jordan I’m not sure if you were listening but he said the babies were trampling around on the mommy. I’m sure their little feet were messy. The cages didn’t look bad compared to what they can become.. Rabbits are filthy, smelly, hairy animals. Remember they’re originally wild animals. They live through rough elements. Having someone provide food, water, and shelter for them is a luxury. Give the man a break.. sorry you’re having a bad day.

[@5taceydaisy]

@@marycopeland6267 just FYI, domesticated breeds of rabbit - like what we use for both meat and pet rabbits - are no where near their wild roots and will die if let loose in the wild. They have zero comprehension of a life without humans and are to wild rabbits what pugs are to wolves. Which is to say not at all similar aside from species. Neither they nor any of their ancestors for hundreds of years have experienced living through “rough elements” or any of the aspects of living wild like food and water and safety scarcity. They know as much about the wild life and all the hardships that come with it as an average human toddler. For these rabbits and all other meat and pet rabbits, being fed and taken care of by a human isn’t a “luxury” they otherwise wouldn’t have, it’s a necessity, as they cannot survive without it.

[@mike1968442]

I guess people think no animal has to die when you buy meat from the grocery store and then defrost it from your freezer.

Some people do seem to think that way.

Wow, I can’t believe how disconnected our society is when it comes to how we get our meat! I culled a couple of chickens not to long ago and people look at me as if I was crazy. Not sure how they think meat gets to the stores. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@reneebrown5598]

From personal experience I will say the snap the neck doesn't always work so make sure you slit their throats afterwards. I had"broke" a rabbit's neck and started to skin it and it woke up on me and started screaming in gut wrenching screams that I will never forget. Never skip the throat slitting. It will save you years of nightmares. So many people will break their necks and go straight to skinning to keep any blood from being on the pelt. Don't make that mistake. Just saying.... Still remember that scream from 40 years ago.

[@Slightlyrednecked]

I have heard rabbits scream before. I know what you mean.

[@ceriseisacolor5677]

I've found that penetrative bolt guns (like those used for cattle, but smaller) are the least stressful method of dispatch for my situation. If you're not familiar, picture an syringe with a bolt instead of a needle. It's cleaner and more precise than a pellet gun. Come harvest I can stroke the kit until it is completely calm and continue stroking it's head with the bolt gun as I line up with the brain. I can click a button to fire the bolt and the kit is rendered dead before petting has stopped.

[@roadkingclassic627]

Great vid, have seen probably the most "humane" dispatch technique by Polyface farms - stunning by means of metal rod to head in between ears, then hang and knife to jugular and bleed out. Major benefit is that shoulder muscles are not strained or pulled, and of course the rabbit's only pain is being stunned unconscious before death, which takes a minute or two.

You don’t need to bake dog treats .. you can feed legs head ears liver lungs pancreas kidney heart skin rib stomach to the dog … RAW.

[@michaelgibson5638]

Absolutely, but the dehydration is for long term storage. If you process 6-8+ rabbits you could be left with a lot of treats. Could feed some raw when it's fresh, and dehydrate the rest. We don't do it for excess, we do it for sustainability and to fill the gaps.

Gd day. I have some almost 4 wk old kits who are not pooping yet. It's my first batch, is this normal?

[@Tomahawk8297]

Nice touch with the Mora.😊👍🏽

Hey, have you ever thought of giving the innards to your dog? Also, I don’t know if you know this, but your dog could probably eat a whole rabbit. All you have to do is dispatch, and then give it to the dog. Don’t believe me look up working Ozzie’s Homestead.
