Rabbits

[armb]

Is it (a) legal (b) safe to cook and eat wild rabbits that have thrown themselves to their death under the wheels of your bicycle?
This is a hypothetical question, but only just - I had to brake quite hard for the one that changed its mind which way it was going to jump three times.

That said, I've been told that a summer-kill rabbit skin can be rather patchy, as the fur coat isn't 'homogenous' and stable.

In the USA I'd say no - there are warnings about wild rabbit and tularaemia, but that doesn't appear to be an issue here - or at least not one I've heard about.
