'Recycling' Shot Rabbits

[TorahDod]

I have a permission shooting rabbits on a regular basis just south of Aberdeen, but as I don't eat them I will dispose of them in the usual manner. But my question is, does anyone know who in the Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire area would take them off my hands. They are always 'head shot' with an FAC air rifle, so there's normally no damage to the body.
If you are outwith this area and have any useful information, that would be much appreciated also.

I can't view his profile. Is he someone that would take the rabbits off my hands?

No but farms somewhere near so might have a contact

I think they definitely have a value again as you just don’t see as many as there once was, or maybe that’s just my neck of the woods, dog food places? Chinese takeaways?

Camperdown zoo in Dundee used to take them to feed the animals. No idea if they still do though.

An hour drive from my place, but might get in touch with them. I've been there a few times, and I know the wolves would've probably had them, but they have recently been 'removed' after the Big dog died and the females went into meltdown.

Know any falconers? Guy near us breeds them. That’s where wife puts any cockerels she gets.

I'll be speaking to someone tomorrow who does a lot of shooting. I'll ask him.

Pretty sure they do have a value at the moment.

Don't know any, but I think there's a birds of prey sanctuary up near Huntly

Is there not a game dealer in Ellon? Aberdeenshire larder.

Cheers Chae...not really looking to make money, but would be a bonus.
p.s. You wouldn't happen to be around the Stonehaven area?
