Rabbit stew was one of my late Gran's specialities. I didn't like it as a kid cos those dinners were Bugs Bunny's relatives in my mind, but I loved it as a teen. I haven't had any for years.
we had neighbors who rasied pet rabbits. they were beautiful! but the other neighbors raised rabbits for food. so our neighbors were always afraid that if one of their rabbits got out that the neighbor would eat them.
