I put mine is a soup/ stew, just like chicken and it was EXTREMELY mild, like very soft good quality chicken breast. I could see that being true.

there are a couple of really good videos on youtube that shows how it's done (much easier than trying to explain it)

It's VERY VERY easy.. I found it to be MUCH easier and less time consuming than a chicken.

That wasn't bad at all, I was worried I'd hear that horrible infant-like scream I remember from our cat catching baby wild rabbits when I was a kid!

This makes me much more curious about raising rabbits for meat.

Can any lady slaughter larger animals like goats?

Sure a woman could do that too, but I think with bigger animals it would be easier to have a tractor or something you could tie the back legs to to lift it up. (Depending on how big it is).

I remember as a child, one time, eating this smoked meat... tender and soooo good. i was told it was rabbit. It was the best meat I've ever tasted. haven't had rabbit since though.
