Not a bad way to grow up. More kids in the inner cities should be raising rabbits. Good healthy meat, extra money for mom. Better then playing Zombie games.
I had a cousin who lived South Manhatten NY, (17th Ave.), raised rooftop pigeons just to feed his Red-Tailed Hawk, which he flew in Central Park. People would watch a bird take a rabbit in the bushes, say, "How cool was that?". He'd say "Up girl" with a whistle command, and the bird would take flight to his wrist. Then the folks would say, "How could you kill a helpless rabbit?" His reply was always, "I didn't, but she did and we eat together, rabbit and cream of mushroom soup."
