If your butcher's selling rabbit he should be able to tell you whether it was ferreted or shot.

When people kill rabbits, it is a blow to the head, or a cut to the throat that finishes them off? ...............If all rabbits are killed via a hefty whack over the head, I may just buy rabbit as I know its had a quicker death than a chicken.

)but I haven`t had a chance to try the 2 together.
I prefer to kill a net caught rabbit IN the net rather than remove it first.
