Culling baby rabbits

Somehow I can't imagine freezing the kit until it dies is particularly humane.

I was told that it relaxed and fell asleep, then just proceeded to die.
I know snapping/pinching the neck is faster, but if not done correct, it seems more traumatic.
It is just the easier route I have had to use.
Either way, culling isn't pleasant.

Culling or killing for meat, the end result is the same... the animal loses its life. I've always been of the understanding that freezing to death is relatively painless as the one freezing slips into a coma/sleep and then passes on... relatively painless, so I would consider it humane, but takes time.

Breaking the neck will kill it, but does the brain die immediately? or does it remain active for a spell afterwards? When a human breaks it's neck it doesn't necessarily die... Paralysis is a given however, so any muscular response wouldn't happen. Humane? I don't know, but is "accepted" as such...

A .22 round to the brain is immediate, terminal, no pain, no warning so no fear, stress or negative reaction, and IMHO is the most humane.

Sorry you're under the weather @Pastor Dave Haven't seen you on the boards much. Hope you're in recovery and get well soon. Being sick sucks.

Thanks @Latestarter, appreciate it.
I do use the .22 method to dispatch at butcher time for the same reasons.
Mine are treated humanely, raised for meat, and when the time comes, the meat in the freezer outweighs the emotions and feelings. I stick to my methods and it is more rehearsed, less thought abt at the moment.

Iv always been told to breed in pairs for fostering especially if u know which usually delivers large and small. But the ppl I talk with on the FB group say they dispatch mostly by head bashing or breaking neck with hopper popper type thing. Tho for babies, I agree with previous post, hands can be just as good, if u know what ur doing..
I will say when I was younger my brother saved a baby rabbit in the woods. It's neck was bent completely sideways so mom made us put it back out for nature so that it's life had meaning for something else to live. As I pet the baby good bye it wiggled and so I instinctly held tighter so I didn't drop it. I felt its neck pop and it scared me so I did drop it. It hopped a lil bit and its neck was up right, it looked around and then ran away. So if I had to dispatch babies for whatever reason I think I'd have to do bullet or bashing bc I don't trust the neck severing bc of that past event.

Wow, that sounds like a bunny miracle.
