We would absolutely never do this and I couldn't even begin to tell you how or can't even fathom why you would want to if you are just going to be eating them anyway.

I found a previous question from Dana Krempels who is a PhD which explains why.

I can't answer you because although I am not an animal rights activist I just can't agree with inhumane treatments.  I took an oath and vowed to treat animals as humanely as possible.  Chemical castration is an extremely painful procedure and it is actually injected into the vas deferens and not the actual testicles.  If you want to slaughter your rabbits at least it is quick and they aren't in pain and I have no issue with that at all.  All people must eat.  

I am so so sorry that I can't help you.
