I probably didn't word my previous post very well.
I didn't think for a minute anyone would be setting their rabbits free, just that if its deemed cruel to keep them as pets, what's the alternative.
I mentioned dogs as they're the most popular pet. And where is the line drawn as to which animals are acceptable to be kept as pets and which aren't. One of my stepsons has a dog, it is shut up all day, seldom gets anything more than a quick walk round the block, more often just gets put out in the small garden. He's not been castrated and is fed 'leftvers' as he 'doesnt like dog food'. To me that's cruel. He's a lovely friendly dog, loves people and I feel more sorry for him than I do my rabbits, who have more exercise space than he does.
