No, this isn't about UVic. However, rabbits are close to the ideal for meat for human consumption.
And as it turns out, rabbit is one of the healthiest, leanest, and most environmentally friendly meats you can eat.Read more at good.is
“The biggest reason that rabbits are a sustainable meat choice is that they eat forage, which is not useful for humans. This means that rabbits don’t compete with us for food calories."
Rabbits are small and can easily be raised and butchered by the DIY homesteader. They are easy to fit in a small backyard, and are happy to help you compost your leftover food.
“You can feed a rabbit on your kitchen scraps,” says Wizansky, and then use their waste as fertilizer.
Rabbits have a much smaller carbon footprint than other animals because they convert calories into pounds more efficiently. According to Slow Food USA, “Rabbit can produce six pounds of meat on the same amount of feed and water it takes a cow to produce just one pound.”
What about the rabbits at UVic? Well, that's a hot topic that may be talked about later. First, I would to know about fertilizers used on the grass on campus. Then, I will talk about ideas.
When are you going to start your rabbit farm?

Two things:
1) A lot of discussion about this site happens on facebook; so, I would recommend finding the site (link on the right sidebar) and me there.
2) I'm experimenting with non-sign-in commenting to encourage more discussion (the 2 minutes it takes to create a google/other account seems like too much trouble).
Being 'anonymous' is pretty lame, so at least make up a fake name to use.
