MIGRATE TO CUNICULTURE (from RABBIT)

In some areas, wild rabbits and hares are hunted for their meat. In other areas, domesticated descendants of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are bred and kept as livestock (a practice called cuniculture)—for their meat as well as their wool and pelts. In the wild, snares or other traps, as well as guns may be employed. A caught rabbit may be dispatched with a sharp blow to the back of its head, a practice from which the term rabbit punch is derived.

In the United Kingdom, fresh rabbit is sold in butcher shops and markets, and some supermarkets sell frozen rabbit meat. At farmers markets, including the famous Borough Market in London, rabbit carcasses are sometimes displayed hanging, unbutchered in the traditional style, next to braces of pheasant or other small game.

Wild leporids comprise a small portion of global rabbit-meat consumption. Domesticated descendants of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) that are bred and kept as livestock (a practice called cuniculture) account for the estimated 200 million tons of rabbit meat that is produced annually. In 1994, the countries with the highest consumption per capita of rabbit meat were Malta with 8.89 kilograms (19.6 lb), Italy with 5.71 kilograms (12.6 lb), and Cyprus with 4.37 kilograms (9.6 lb), falling to 0.03 kilograms (0.066 lb) in Japan. The figure for the United States was 0.14 kilograms (0.31 lb) per capita. Rabbit meat was once a common commodity in Sydney, Australia, but declined once the myomatosis virus was intentionally introduced to control the exploding population of feral rabbits in the area.

Rabbit meat is often a part of Moroccan cuisine, where it is cooked in a tajine with "raisins and grilled almonds added a few minutes before serving". In China, rabbit meat is particularly popular in Sichuan cuisine, with its stewed rabbit, spicy diced rabbit, BBQ-style rabbit, and even spicy rabbit heads, which have been compared to the duck neck. Rabbit meat is comparatively unpopular elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific.

Rabbit meat is a source of high quality protein. It can be prepared in most ways chicken meat is prepared. Chef Mark Bittman wrote that domesticated rabbit tastes like chicken because both are blank palettes upon which any desired flavors can be layered. Rabbit meat is leaner than beef, pork, and chicken meat. Rabbit products are generally labeled in three ways, the first being Fryer. This is a young rabbit between 2.0 and 2.3 kilograms (4.5 and 5 lb) and up to 9 weeks in age. This type of meat is tender and fine grained. The next product is a Roaster; they are usually over 2.3 kilograms (5 lb) and up to 8 months in age. The flesh is firm and coarse grained and less tender than a fryer. Then there are giblets which include the liver and heart. One of the most common types of rabbit to be bred for meat is New Zealand white rabbit. The largest rabbit meat producing countries (100,000 tons or more per year) are China, Russia, Italy, France and Spain.

Compared with the meat of other species (especially pork and beef), rabbit meat is richer in proteins and certain vitamins and minerals, while it has less fat; rabbit fat contains less stearic and oleic acids than other species and higher proportions of the essential polyunsaturated linolenic and linoleic fatty acids. The main health issues associated with the use of rabbits for meat are tularemia or rabbit fever which is an infection that may be contracted from close contact with rabbits and the so-called rabbit starvation. Rabbit starvation is most likely due to the deficiency of fat in rabbit meat. In comparison, pemmican is a meat-based food that is nutritionally complete but is composed of dry meat fibers and fat in a 1:1 ratio by weight. Rabbit starvation is similar to other metabolic issues that arise in times of extreme starvation. An analogous condition (though with different symptoms) occurs when carbohydrates are ingested in the absence of fat and protein. These conditions are not well-documented by Western medicine because such total absence of fat and protein are relatively rare and not likely to occur where medical attention is available. However, a slim variety of historical writings refer to rabbit starvation, for example, Vilhjalmur Stefansson in the late 19th century, and in the journals of Charles Darwin.

Rabbit pelts are sometimes used for clothing and accessories, such as scarves or hats. Angora rabbits are bred for their long, fine hair, which can be sheared and harvested like sheep wool. Rabbits are very good producers of manure; additionally, their urine, being high in nitrogen, makes lemon trees very productive. Their milk may also be of great medicinal or nutritional benefit due to its high protein content.

SAMPLE TABLE2

I'd like to propose an improvement to the table structure: swapping the image into the first column and the "name notes" (i.e., "See also", "Also called", etc.) into the second column. This would better focus and segregate (in my opinion) the primary data points, especially for narrower screens—including smartphones. Both columns would still be sortable. (The "name notes" themselves would remain un-sortable.)

Are there ramifications that should be considered? Are there concerns that should be discussed? I am very much interested in your thoughts. If a consensus is reached, I would volunteer to do the necessary work. Your feedback is appreciated. Timbuk-2 (talk) 20:25, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
