Using Rabbits for Food, 1945

From the March 1945 issue of The Southern Planter

There is a place for the raising of domestic rabbits on many farms. …meat supplies are sharply cut by the war, rabbit raising is a flourishing business and rabbit meat is an import food item.

And as the war progresses, the little jingle that follows may become a reality with many homemakers:
Bye Baby Bunting,
Mamma’s gone a hunting
To get a rabbit for our meal.
She can’t find beef, pork or veal.
