Congrats on your first rabbit. I probably would have eaten it (but actually, I'm not that crazy about rabbit anyway). It's probably cleaner than most of the feed-lot beef we eat everyday. I used to hunt with my Uncle, who was about as old school as it gets. When we'd get a deer, we'd take the liver home, but he'd always slice it up and carefully examine it for flukes. If he found any, he wouldn't eat the liver, but we'd still keep the rest of the deer.
