Rabbit Dissection

by Kusma Gongba

It’s Sunday. We are planning to dissect a bunny.

Rabbit is a small and cute animal. People like to have rabbits in their home. So we also bought 2 rabbits at spiny babbler. We used to take care of rabbits. We used to feed them with grass, cabbage and cauliflower. Pallav sir told us that as rabbit eats lots of vegetables, so they have very bright eyes he said if we eat vegetables too, our eyes will also be very powerful. We used to play with our rabbit. But they died. We were so sad. So we bought another 2 rabbits. We dissected the dead rabbits. The equipments required to dissect the rabbit was prepared like:

·      Rope

·      Chopping board

·      Knife

·      Bowl

Pallav sir asked Jeena didi to bring a knife. Pallav sir cut the body into half. We saw the heart of the Bunny. Nitya brother was collecting the blood in a vessel. Jay and Jeena were clicking our photos.  One staff who works at Jay Nepal also came to help us dissect the bunny. That uncle told that he has a bunny farm. That uncle watched the video we had taken. Some of my friends could not watch all the blood and the dissection part so they closed their eyes but I was not scared and did not close my eyes. There is a belief that if we get the leg of bunny, we will be lucky. So the lucky ones were: Abin, Utkrishta, Nitya Dai, Jay dada, Jeena didi, Ronij and Nanu.

We also saw the small intestine and large intestine of bunny. Also lungs. I was not disgusted but many of my friends were, especially Nitya Dai as he was collecting the blood. I saw Pallav sir’s mother taking the video. Bunnies eat vegetables and grass. We saw the stomach of the bunny. I loved watching the liver. We saw different parts of the bunny. At first we cut the black bunny and then we cut the white bunny. We cut the bunny’s heart into two and tried to see what is inside the heart. We are sad that our bunnies are dead. I really loved them and now we have 2 bunnies left.  One is black and one is white. Except Abin nobody likes to meat bunny’s meat including me. Pallav sir told us that bunny’s meat is good for our health. We got 1 kilogram meat from rabbit.

We miss our lost bunnies!
