I've been given a file of rabbity stuff that someone picked up in a job lot at an auction. It includes old copies of Rabbiting On as well as a folder of print outs from the houserabbit society. However on looking through I've come across a flyer that had been typed out and had the recipient's name handwritten on - I thought this demonstrates 'from the horse's mouth' so to speak the treatment of rabbits in this country
Dear Neighbours
This is just to let everybody living close to us know that after long and careful consideration we have decided to let our rabbit, Bandit, go free.
She is Bandit by name and unfortunately Bandit by nature, and we feel that when she made her recent bid for freedom that was the only time she had been truly happy since joining our family!
She is vicious, bites the hand that is 'attempting' to feed her, takes gauges out of our arms and hands when we undertake the daily transfer from hutch to run and generally thinks humans are a dreadful species, put on Earth to torment her!
She has no love for us and sadly, we are running out of love for her.
It wouldn't be fair to try to give her away and the local dealers won't have her because of her mean nature. The advice to us is to let her go and she can take her chances with the cats and dogs.
So if you see a really sweet looking white rabbit, we will all know that at least she is still enjoying her freedom. She may even decide to come back! But we don't want our neighbours to worry that she may have escaped.
Thanks to all

Poor Bandit..... I hope the girl who carefully kept this letter to her along with all the rabbit information did something about the rabbit taking her chances with the cats and dogs. Of course us humans aren't mean and nasty are we - we think it's fine to chuck the rabbit lose and let her be eaten :evil:
Unbelievable :evil:
