Anyone have any good links that show me how to process a rabbit?

Before getting ahead of myself I want to make sure I can process it fast.

Thanks everyone. I am considering doing a trade with a friend of my dad if he's willing. Give him some rabbits in order to process my rabbits. He loves rabbit meat.

Don't take chances with the gall bladder... I cut off the entire lobe that it's attached to and discard it. Trying to cut close to it is too risky!

And this is amazing...completely deboning a rabbit in 5 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6ud68Qmdyc&feature=related
One thing i learned is that you can "pinch" the gall bladder off easily! Just pinch near the narrow end and pull it right off...works much better than trying to cut them out.

Ditto. I just pinch it and peel it right off.

Sometimes the hardest part of removing th gall bladder is finding the darn thing. It can be hidden between lobes of the liver. If you accidentally burst it, it isn't that big a problem. The gall bladder size compared to the liver size in a rabbit is pretty small and doesn't affect the taste that much. In some cultures the contents of the gall bladder is considered a condiment and squeezed onto a cooked liver for flavor.
