"We have a responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals — in terms of both animal welfare and professional integrity," Aalborg Zoo says.
My little cousin found this out at the last family gathering as he enthusiastically showed me a picture of his pet rabbits. Growing up on a farm, my first question was if they were pet or food. His face fell and he asked me if people really eat rabbits. Whoops!
I’ve had rabbit a few times in Germany. Quite lean but not bad at all. It’s not that common these days, you can easily avoid it but it’s not hard to find either. There are many hobbyist breeders who sell their rabbits either alive or butchered. I think it’s more common in Eastern Germany though because a lot of people there used to keep rabbits back when meat was rare and traded them with the government.
That seems to be almost exclusive to the Peruvian Andes region, I’m from Brazil and never hear of anyone eating a Guinea Pig there, or even in Argentina and Uruguay.
Guinea pigs got domesticated for food, and are still a common dish in South America. I am pretty sure rabbits got bred for food as well in Europe
There are people raising rabbits for meat even today.
i rather not search about the topic, so i am going to trust you, i’m afraid of getting stuck in a rabbit hole
You don’t even carrot all to find out?

And they are delicious.
It is stocked in normal supermarkets in France and Switzerland (at least, surely others too).
Believe there are places that raise capybara for food as well.
Where are you from that it’s weird to you? I wasn’t aware it was uncommon.
Fine. Who the fuck is eating chickens? Like the birds!?

Sounds like you are missing out. I’d try it.
The idea is not if it is worth trying but that it’s not widespread in south America.
Can confirm that it’s not found in supermarkets in Montevideo nor Buenos Aires.
