Not to be that guy, but why aren't rabbits more mainstream in the food industry. They are literally easier to raise than chickens and arguably reproduce and mature faster.

One of these big boys could be cheaper and just as filling.

Are the production costs that bad? Is butchering a chicken easier to automate because of the varying proportions?

Or do people can't bring themselves to eat Bugs Bunny?

We had hens and rabbits for meat. The hens were decent, the rabbits were a fucking nightmare.

It was damn near impossible to butcher one without little pieces of bone getting everywhere. The meat was pretty gross too, the animals freak tf out over the smallest things, which made the meat all pissy and gross. We've had wild rabbit/hare that was better, but had 0 fat on it.
