There are disease that wild rabbits can carry (tularemia, liver fluke), which is why it's recommended to clean them with gloves on. I wouldn't worry about the pastured rabbit though. I've eaten rabbit quite a bit, and am not dead yet. -- Quick, USUM (ret.) www.en.com/users/jaquick Fire n: the UN needs a Kofi break.

I take it you cook the meat until well done, just in case. Deanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
