:44:16
I saw the sign down on the street...
:44:19
that said you're selling
rabbits and bunnies here?
:44:22
- For sale?
- You want pets or meat?
:44:25
Pets or meat?
:44:26
Meaning I can buy the bunnies
to have as a pet...
:44:31
or I can buy them for...
:44:34
Meat. They're already dressed
and cleaned.
:44:36
I butcher the babies
when they are four or five months old.
:44:40
That's good.
:44:41
If you butcher the older ones,
like these guys...
:44:43
then they're stewers. They're not fryers.
:44:46
A lot of people like fryers
better than they do the stewers.
:44:49
- That makes sense.
- So I keep my personal stock.
:44:53
When my babies get four or five
months old, and I have 15 to 20 babies...
:44:57
you've got to get rid of them some way.
:45:00
If they don't sell as pets,
you got to get rid of them as meat.
:45:04
Them guys are all meat.
:45:06
- See, they start doing this to each other.
- What's that?
:45:10
Peeing on each other and stuff like that,
when they get older.
:45:13
If you don't have separate cages for them,
then they start fighting.
:45:17
Then the males castrate the other males.
:45:20
They do. They chew their balls right off.
Then you have a bloody mess.
:45:25
That's why you got to butcher them
when they're a certain age...
:45:28
or you have a heck of a mess.
:45:30
I'm on social security.
:45:32
The only other income I have
is my rabbits...
:45:36
for groceries, bills, and my dogs.
:45:38
I also raise Doberman pinschers.
:45:41
Because sometimes
I only make $10 to $15 a week...
:45:44
but that's better than nothing. At least
I can buy $10 to $15 worth of groceries.
:45:49
'Cause you only get paid once a month
from social security...
:45:53
and that's not very much.
