When I was kid we grew a lot of our own vegetables, and I watched my grandmother kill chickens often, and once we watched grandfather and a friend slaughter a pig. He would also snare rabbits and we would watch them being skinned, we always got a rabbits foot to play with, yes I know some people will think it gross but we thought it was fun to make the foot move by pulling on the tendons or ligaments. These days it is very difficult to find rabbits at the market that aren't outrageously over priced.
