Photos » Rabbits (May Offend!) » (May offend!) Front leg removal
This is for my primitive book art project.
I believe that meat eaters should be aware of where their food comes from and the processes it went through before it got to the supermarket shelf all neatly wrapped in plastic, not looking like an animal at all. If people can't handle the realities of meat eating then perhaps they shouldn't be eating it at all. These animals had a happy life in the wild, a quick death and were entirely utilised. Their skins and meat were not wasted. I have even used their skulls and legs. Admittedly I haven't used these parts for survival tools but at least they weren't just thrown away as they would have been (including the skins). I thanked the rabbits before I skinned them and they fed my family for more than two meals.

i am wondering what you felt when you did this.
I respect the way tribes use the animals they kill.
They use the whole animal for all sorts of things.
It is also important for their survival.
The reason i don't eat meat is because of the horrible way the industry deals with it.
Also the way people don't realise what they are eating.
When you eat an animal at least be aware what you are eating and show respect for the animal..
Thank you Fiona
I also respect the way that tribes utilise the whole animal. In fact, I learned to do this on a survival course by Ray Mears and he would teach us things that he had learned from tribes people. When we skinned the rabbits, we thanked them and when we cut down trees for shelter, we thanked them too. It's all about respect for nature and it's natural cycles.
I think that a lot of the practices that go on in the meat industry are despicable. I hate cruelty to animals. I try to eat free range meat and prefer to eat game which has lived a happy, natural life in the wild.
