Thats what we do. If you want them to eat. You first have to purchase them and THEN my husband will have a butcher party with you.WOW! It's only $12 in VA and that cover both possession and propagation.
In regards to the meat, here's another way to legally go around the inspections:
you have people come to your house, and they then choose the rabbits or birds they want while still alive, and you can legally offer " a free on site butchering service" and no laws are broken if that route is taken.
