Paynter Advocates Rabbit Meat Amid Meat Price Hike
Tremont resident Ray Paynter, long-time rabbit breeder and Armco worker, urges eating rabbit as a cheaper, protein rich alternative. He notes rabbit meat runs about $1.25 per pound in stores, sells for $2 per rabbit, and that his breeding lines yield 30 day cycles with four to five pound animals. Paynter highlights rabbits as pets, show stock, and Easter commerce, touting cleanliness, easy care, and small space needs.
