Peace Corps Rabbits Aid Diets in Central America
Bourbon County, Kansas, hosts an experiment akin to a Peace Corps program to add protein to diets in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic. Rabbit breeder Bill Molen trained corps members at Kansas State and Purdue on breeding and slaughter. He has shipped rabbits to Pedro Campos in Puerto Rico to establish breeding and meat use, noting Puerto Ricans need protein as current diets are heavy in starch. A Peace Corps receipt indicates 40 tons of rabbit feed would be sent to Guatemala from a mill in Jackson, Mississippi.
