What kind of rabbits are you raising? Meat rabbits?

I'm in Wyoming and looking for a Californian or New Zealand Doe. I have a Doe & Buck Giant Chinchilla, but am looking for rabbits that aren't quite as cute or friendly. We've hunted and raised chickens (had to get rid of them due to lung sensitivity that made me unable to breathe), so decided to raise rabbits. My first litter is nearing butchering age, but they are the cutest, friendliest creatures and both my husband and I are going to have a harder time killing these rabbits than anything else we've eaten.

It isn't knowing how. It is that our rabbits are sweeter, cuter, and cudlier than anything we've butchered before. We had zero issue with chickens. We've hunted and field dressed deer and elk. Somehow rabbits feel different.
