Part of being prepared for that SHTF moment, survival situation – short and long-term or just being self-reliant as much as possible is to grow and harvest your own meat.
You have a lot of options – from cows and pigs to chickens or sheep, ducks, even goats.
One option that often gets overlooked, but is probably the easiest, least expensive and by far the least problematic, is to raise rabbits.
Back in the 1940's and 50's, rabbit was almost as common a differ-fare as chicken is today, for many of the same reasons – virtually anyone could grow a few rabbits for food, its white meat is plentiful and savory and many people say it takes just like chicken.
Best of all, it is a low-calorie, fat, cholesterol and sodium meat that is high in protein, calcium and phosphorous, but easily digestible.

You can’t survive off of rabbit alone. They are too lean
Was just about to say this same thing. Rabbits don’t have enough fat to support a person for long
Exactly
Not even close
Very true, but we’re thinking about a survival situation or people who live off the grid. In a situation like that, rabbits would provide a decent source of protein. They also multiply at a rapid rate. So if you were unable to catch larger game, or unable to fish, you would have an alternate source of food. Hopefully this would be in addition to what you’ve stocked up on, are currently growing, etc.
Well yes that’s very true
And provide the absolute best fertilizer/tea for growing vegetables in the garden.
They are easy to raise. Also I raise meat Quail. Easy to raise and start laying and ready to butcher in 6 weeks.
