I'm one of the biggest animal lovers you could ever hope to meet, but I do understand the reason behind raising ones own food. I don't make pets of my "food;" I feed and water them, and they have a good life while here, but then they go in my freezer. Rabbit meat is just plain yummy (all white meat)!
Rabbit meat is good, but those bunnies are so gosh darn cute. Chickens are funky looking and pretty dumb so they're easy not to get attached to. :)
I'm also an animal lover like none other, and that's why I'm able to raise my own animals for food. The living conditions and treatment of commercially raised animals is horrible. They're (the animals) giving the biggest sacrifice in the end for us, I think we owe it to them to give them the best we can while they're here.
