Could rabbit meat become acceptable as alternative to pork, chicken and beef?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Is eating rabbit like eating your dog? Both of them our currently mostly our households pets. There are not too many breeders that raise them like chickens...yet. Should we eat alternative food like, fish, soya and others instead of rabbit? Or is it time for the Philippines to grow their rabbitry business?

It's still a long way to go for the Philippines. Should the government consider cultivating the rabbit meat industry?

Rabbit meat is one of the healthiest, leanest, and most environmentally friendly meats you can eat. Compared to beef, pork, lamb, turkey, veal, and chicken, a rabbit has the highest percentage of protein, the lowest percentage of fat, and the fewest calories per pound. The Italians and French eat rabbit the way Americans eat chicken, which is to say, quite often. Rabbit meat is tender, lean, delicious and as versatile as chicken, to which it can also be compared in taste.

They are far less fragile than pigs, and their numbers can grow fast, hence the expressions multiply like rabbits, and f**k like bunnies. It may be expensive NOW but with wide acceptance and an increased supply, the price will eventually drop to a reasonable level.

Government support is vital for this industry to take off. the rabbit's great potential to feed us is drowned by abounding misconceptions among the masses.

It is viable as rabbits multiply incredibly fast. You need a wider space for raising rabbits, though to accomodate their growing population. DA must provide training as rabbits tend to attract a variety of predators, and a host of other issues. In time, we shall see Filipinos eating rabbits. Hindi kelangan magmahal. Eh, lintek, pagkain lng ng mahihirap yan sa Europe at Australia.

At the moment rabbit is much expensive than pork. One small rabbit is sold 500-1k and not even reach 1kilo in weight. But hopefully soon it will become more affordable and competitive when acceptance and demand rise. It won't be pricey if there's enough to go around with. If They can breed chickens why not rabbits also but don't know if it's cost effective anti chicken. Better eat corrupt politicians! 100 % clean life style and eating the best feeds but not enough for the majority! Hahahaha Bon appetite.

It is a very common food in countries like Italy, tasty.. I don't understand the stigma for the rabbit here in the Philippines.
