Oh and I did raise and butcher or helped butcher a pig once, fuck that ever again. The wrenching it up by its hind legs after I shot it was not bad, nor was the slitting of the throat to bleed it. Yet fuck nobody told me about the giant vat of hot water that was envolved.
Plus I do not live on a farm and honestly I also do not have a flash freezer. Though I do have plenty of space to grow veggies and I do raise a lot of worms.

to take a pig to butcher isn't all that expensive until you get the bacon and hams cured, but then again it really isn't all that hard to smoke your own meats either. i usually just take my pork into the butcher. a butcher sized pig isn't all that expensive to buy and getting it cut isn't either. it's still way way cheaper than going to the grocers. i can agree with you on the cleaning birds, that's one thing i fucking hate doing. we always just buy our chickens and turkeys from the hutterite colony. big plump healthy birds at about half the grocers market price. but rabbits, well rabbits are easy, you can clean a rabbit with your bare hands if you're animal enough. and cutting up large game or beef/pork never bothered me. i also have alot of hillbilly assed friends. so cleaning an animal is often a good excuse to get hammered with a couple of buddies...
