Any ideas where can I find this type of meat?
Don't judge in Spain is quite common and really delicious.
Migros, Coop ... It's not unknown here either.
Petar,
No need to worry about being judged. You will find it at any butcher including Coop and Migros.
It is not always available (depends on the season) but they will certainly be able to order it for you.
Seen it in Migros (Oerlikon) few days ago. You can buy it in most supermarkets.
It's common here too you can get it at any of the supermarkets, Migros, Coop, Manora etc... though perhaps not all the time, failing that probably at any butchers.

Really? I've checked in two different migros and in one coop and I couldn't find it!! this makes me happy my mouth is wathering...
It'll be labelled "Kaninchen" and you'll find it easily in the larger stores (not your standard mini-Migros around the corner)
You have to go to a larger Coop / Migros to find rabbit meat. Usually it'll be in the fridge section chopped up, it'll be a few cuts packaged together, but in the Seilbahn Rigiblick Migros you can find a whole rabbit in the frozen section. Or else at the Saturday market in Oerlikon, there's a stand which only sells rabbit meat.
Hope this helps!
What they said on sources.
Sometimes you will find Chinese rabbit meat which I would avoid. It's travelled a long long way plus Chinese health, additive and animal husbandry rules are even looser than the EU. I know the importers claim to control them to stricter standards but how well can you trust this?
Try this place for good quality meat products, rabbits too.
As Mrs T says, you can find rabbit year round in Manora foodstores. At least in my neck of the woods.
There was a scandal with Hungarian rabbit a few months ago as stocked by CO-OP, I think. They were kept in appalling conditions.
I have seen it on the market in Oerlikon Zurich. They are there on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I know I've seen cut pre-packaged rabbit at Coop but I almost want to say it was in the fall.
Meanwhile, I have also seen whole (well, headless) rabbit at the butcher counter at Manor within the last month or so (I don't shop there often).
Also, don't feel odd about asking for rabbit here, it is a common enough thing for folks with the space to raise a few rabbit and / or chickens for their own kitchen.
It should be labelled with the Standard German name Kaninchen (Spanish prononciation janinjeen) but it may in case of doubt be labelled in Swiss German with Chüngel . You might ask the butcher wo händ Si Chüngel ?
And the second line in French would be LAPIN, and the third line in Italian coniglio .
Chüngel are a very traditional meal in Switzerland
I've bought rabbit there at a specialist vendor. You can buy a whole beast or joints etc. It's good, more expensive than I expected though.
More expensive ? Sure, as it is local business, often privately raised rabbits from small farms
