I'm with eeks. I can't kill no bunny (anymore) either. But this is great for chicken. Also bunny's have no bugs if you kill them at the right time of year-I mean wild ones of course.

As soon as I catch a spring hare in my snare,
This fine stew I will endeavour to prepare;
But in one little tittle I do disagree,
Why use a dry wine when you can use a sweet!
