10. I've never eaten rabbit. I remember a store that had them in cages outside.

I thought they were selling them as pets (fortunately), but at some point I realized that wasn't the REAL reason they were there.

I went vegetarian over 20 years ago. We don't even do seafood, but we will do eggs and dairy. I still wouldn't have eaten rabbit. It sort of reminds me of an old Bloom County where Binkley's dad takes him hunting and he screams "YOU'RE GOING TO KILL BAMBI!!!!"

They are great pets, but you have to get used to being scratched. Those rear legs are POWERFUL. He's never bitten anyone (fortunately), but he did give me a warning nip a few times when I was checking his teeth. He never broke the skin. I had a gerbil bite me in 6th grade and that was one of the nastiest wounds I've ever had. The little fucker just would NOT let go. He never did it again, but damn did that hurt.
