I'm against eating ANY animal. Rabbit is no different.
Agree! :wave:

Doesn't bother me! In some ways its better because the rabbits tend to be wild and have lived good lives.

I don't have a problem with this, unless the demand results in intensive farming.
They are talking about wild rabbits which have considerably more natural lives than most farmed animals. If people ate more meat from managed wild sources (venison etc. that really needs the destruction of some animals as there are no longer natural predators) then there would be less intensive farming and less strain on the environment.
It's diversification at the end of the day - much like C4's push with fish at the moment. People won't stop eating meat and fish anytime soon.

Ditto. When we went out for a meal for John's retirement rabbit was the 'special' and they sold out very quickly! ( We didn't have it though)

I don't have a problem with people eating wild rabbit, but the rabbit sold in supermarkets and most restaurants is farmed, and keep in tiny cages similar to battery hens
