Rabbits (R.S.P.C.A.).—The best way to kill rabbits is to take the hind-legs in the left hand, so as to allow the head to hang downwards. While in that position a smart blow is struck just behind the ears with a walking-stick, which causes instantaneous death. When the rabbit is very large a second blow is advisable. The jugular, or large veins of the neck, may then be cut through with a penknife, and the body hung up to bleed.
