People don't like telling thier kids the truth, my kids are down to earth, I take them to a petting farm all the time and have always told them what animal =what meat, of course other moms look at me funny;)
First of all a domestic rabbit is a meat rabbit, meat rabbits are just breeds of rabbit with good meat to bone ratio. That being said, a rabbit doesn't need to rest more then a few hours at the most, I prefer to kill our meat rabbits without the kids but as this is a mens and boys retreat sure...
