Myxomatosis is a great reason for not eating Rabbit.
Originally, myxomatosis was imported from brazil (where it was first discovered in the 1930's) to Australia in 1950. This was control the massive populations of rabbits in that subcontinent.

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The disease was transmitted from Australia by French Physician, Dr A Delille, who wished to control the rabbit population on his country estate near Paris. The disease rapidly spread into the wild population in france and then was brought, entirely by accident, from France in 1953. there is no evidence that the disease was intentionally brought into Britain but there is no doubt that some farmers moved the disease around using diseased rabbits to contro the population of the rabbits locally.[/font]
 
I like Rabbit pie as well as pidgeon pie. There are a lot of less fashionable dishes that seem to on the decline. I hope we can keep them alive(teh dishes, not the rabbits :) )
 
I used to eat rabbit when i was a kid, my dad used to go hunting for them with the dogs also eaten it in malta.I would not fancy eating it now though.
 
I remember my mum cooking rabbit and I refused to eat it and she wouldn't let me leave the table till I did. An hour later I ate cold rabbit :(
 
My dad has said that when he was a youngster he regulary had rabbit pie & used to go rabbiting up coppice with his dog & then have rabbit for tea, luckily he didnt punish us with it specially as my bro was attached to his pet rabbit that i found funnily called bugsy [oh how original LOL] tho my dad delighted winding us up though LOL

Our Dad had a very sick sense of humour ........... He once told us to try some meat that had been cooking, gullible lil sods that we were, we tried it THEN asked what it was .... talk about puke .... (after I'd gone to check that my own pet rabbits were still in their hutch) :(
