How do you rate rabbit meat compared to other meats from a nutritional
point of view?
I read it's a good lean meat, but not so rich in iron.
BTW, [forgive my silly question!], is it true that Americans don't eat
rabbits, as they consider them pets, just like dogs and cats?
I've heard of that, but I've also found different opinions on the
subject... Maybe some Americans do and some don't.

But then, someone replied:
| Plenty of people raise rabbits and then kill and eat them,
What about hares?
What about the English and other peoples?
Thinking of it, I probably wouldn't eat rabbit meat any longer if I
had a pet rabbit, as I would grow fond of it, and of all rabbits in
general!
Still, I don't have a rabbit. So I eat rabbit meat, once in a while.
In Italy, as you probably know, eating rabbits is absolutely normal,
though not so frequent as eating chicken or beef.
