Re: despatching rabbits humanely
I have trouble with killing Rabbits, Chickens, etc, so I bought a air pistol, and by grasping it by the neck and placing the pistol to the head, death is instantaneous,and no blood.
I can't do great things, so I do little things with love.

Re: despatching rabbits humanely
I have tried chinning. I clearly wasn't strong enough because just as I was about to gut the little bugger, he sat up and started cleaning his face. Now I pop them on the back of the head with a hammer, dead or just unconscious? Then slit the throat to be sure. If you want the pelt this is not ideal.
