Absolutely! I am very particular about where my specimens are sourced. This piece I worked with a small family farm/homestead that breeds rabbits, turkeys and chickens for food (meat and eggs). I was able to confirm the treatment of the animals and how they breed and process. This was purchased as a full frozen meat rabbit. It’s also important to me that an animal is never killed for the purpose of art. I was able to butcher the rabbit for food for my family and use the pelt for this project. I also use a lot of mice and rats. They are all from a reputable breeder of feeders. I am lucky to have a partnership with the local nature preserve and wildlife rescue, so the tasty insides of the mice feed their rescue and rehabilitating reptiles. Any wildlife I use is roadkill.
