I'm pretty sure that the animal rights people put a stop to this being popular a long time ago. If they could stop rabbits from being the test subject for whether or not shampoo irritates eyes, they could stop their feet being chopped off for "good luck".

Besides, all the rabbits, bunnies and hares I know really need theirs....

So I googled if it's wrong to keep rabbit feet. I still have all my colorful ones from childhood. Fast forward and today i have raised and rescued many rabbits. But what about my childhood foot stash??? What should I do with them

Oh wow, I knew the 'lucky rabbit foot' was a thing but have never really seen them out in the wild, per se, so your description of seeing them in machines as prizes and casually out at the grocery store is quite chilling. Sad that so many poor animals suffered for the sake of a garish trinket, I can't even imagine finding luck in stroking a dismembered foot. As for mexican jumping beans... I've gone by whole life not knowing what they are, I wish I could go back to not knowing 😂
