Like........um........
I dunno, I've been eating rabbits all my life, and they taste like rabbit, not like anything else really. Pigeon is quite 'livery', venison dark and almost beefy, but with no fat, canada geese tend towards dryness, but do taste goos-y, same with wild ducks.....

Iirc rabbit is similar to chicken.
My aunt and uncle were asked by a friend to look after some rabbits for him. They didn't realise they weren't for the pot
Oops too late was the cry.

I haven't killed for food, but I had to kill a couple of very new baby rabbits once when my cat brought them in half dead. No way they would have survived out of the nest and they would have suffered if I left them, so I drowned them. I didn't know how else to do it.

OP - yes, when I had ferrets, they got most of the rabbits (cos they caught them), I had one for myself but never again thanks. Struggled not to throw up while eating it.
Break their necks. There's a knack to it - don't try to do it yourself without guidance, and someone who knows what they're doing to hand to dispatch (despatch?) the rabbit quickly after you've botched it up. Otherwise you end up with a rabbit that's in pain & paralysed.
Horrible. Never again.

I've never had to. The only time I ate rabbit, it was prepared in a restaurant, so someone else offed it.
All my other food is pre killed for me, too.
I've shot things in the woods before, but just never bothered to drag it home and eat it. Better to eat the ham sandwich in my rucksack.
Plus, there isn't a lot of meat on a gopher.

I shot em.
I dont get this 'karate chop' business, when I have had live rabbits to deal with, I've stretched them. You grasp the hind feet and theres a nice easy finger grip behind the skull.......then you stretch it hard.

I take that back: I've killed a lobster, with a pot of boiling water. I've also killed and eaten fish.
On a different note, I wonder if fish see us, the way we see great white sharks?
We're super afraid of being dragged underwater by these big scary creatures, then carried into the depths and eaten.
We do the same to fish, but just in reverse.

i've nver killed one but I have eaten a rabbit that my uncle gave us after going hunting. I watched them skin it and what not. it was lovely.
he also used to bring is freshly caugth fish and i loved helping to gut them, definitely tastes nicer once you've had a hand in preparing them

Yes. Lambs and Rabbits taste nice.
I have never eaten rabbit let alone killed one. I might try it soon, eating not killing, I notice my butcher has rabbit for sale sometimes. Perhaps when the recession gets worse, we will all be striding purposefully over the countryside with shotguns looking for dinner.

Hardly getting over it.
Rabbits aplenty as a youngster, chickens, pigeons and ducks too, always "for the pot", rabbits and pigeons with a .22 rifle, ducks with a .22 or a duck gun, and chickens by hand.
