Backyard Food Production Trailer

This is a 3 minute trailer I edited from a 110 minute DVD video on Backyard Food Production which I produced for Marjory Wildcraft. Marjory wrote and is featured in the program, which covers water, gardens, raising and butchering rabbits, poultry, perennials and much more. The how-to video is useful for beginners and veterans alike, with scads of good tips. It also ships with a supplemental CD, chock full of reference materials. The DVD can be purchased from Marjory's website at www.backyardfoodproduction.com.

If you only worry about the rabbits, it must be because they are the cutest, which is a very limited basis for judgement on what animals should live freely or be used as a food source. Why are chickens different, for instance? Just a thought. Also, they are not being 'tortured'. Domestication is a symbiotic relationship. Humans offer them plentiful food, protection from predators, and great care during their lives...Have you ever watched the Discovery channel? Life in the wild is much crueler!!

There is always room for all God's creatures....right next to the mashed potatoes!

@daylanrayne Because they feed you. Theirs is the ultimate sacrifice, even if involuntary. Least you can do is give them a decent life before you eat them.

Looks good, I like my rabbit fried and the feel of my rabbit fur slippers and mittens.

@daylanrayne Hey, I think/hope you are responding to someone else. :) I was defending you raising rabbits for food.

Anyway, Merry Christmas.

@pnolans Sorry that's hutches

[daylanrayne]

@pnolans Dude these are meat rabbits not pets ,their sole purpose is to be eaten do i have bigger hunches then her ?..uh yeah but it makes no difference most of them are eaten within a year to two years so why pamper them excessively.

[MissBBunnies]

how do you keep 3 does in one cage? I have yet to see 2 does that can be kept together once they reach breeding maturity... even sisters. Any tips? I raise a couple of meat rabbits but mainly show stock. Do you separate the does when it is nesting box time?

Thanks!

Poor defenseless bunnies??? Do you live in a shell? Have you been outdoors where wild bunnies live? Or squirrels? They don't have a retirement home for old bunnies , or deer, or squirrels. They are prey. SOME predator is going to kill them, then eat them. Fact of life. Whether a fox, or coyote, or wolf, or snake or something else. Some die of disease, a LOT of rabbits get hit by cars, there may EVEN be some that make it to old age. But very few.
