Driving home from school today I saw a rabbit on the side of the road. I picked it up and brought it home, then cut off one of the back legs and one of the front legs because they looked fairly clean. The rabbit had been killed within the past 24 hours and it looked like the stomach had rupture. There's no smell to the back leg and front leg and they look fine, here's hoping it tastes as good as it smells.

Hey man, it's free rabbit, the stomach didn't actually rupture, there was just some internal bleeding. I didn't eat anything that was touching the gut sack, and I'm boiling it to make a stock for the stew that I'm gonna make with it. How can you go wrong? I suppose rabies, but there were no signs of it.

Update: The rabbit made a tasty stew, and I'm not foaming at the mouth, so we're okay. I must say, my favorite part of driving a pick-up is the ability to pick up roadkill.

A fresh roadkill deer is okay, but I don't think I would take a chance with anything else. Besides hawks, eagles etc... need an easy meal once and a while.

Leave the man alone..Nothing wrong with eating roadkill..As long as you know it hasn't laid out to long and ruined..If you know it was just hit,nothing wrong with taking it to eat..

E.Coli or Salmonella would've been much greater concerns than rabies.
