Yes, totally inappropriate to joke about it. Put me off her. Actually, I bet she comes in for some flack.
I left a comment on their website.

I dunno. I saw it & it made me sad but I guess it highlights that they are so fragile & difficult to treat
Perhaps you're right.

Oh I've never liked that one! Her voice really grates. I liked her even less after her bunny comment. Yes there is a kernel of truth in it, but it was the flippancy of it that got me.
On the plus side she dropped one of her tarts and I cheered! Very petty of me, I know.

I saw it as just meaning they're very fragile. Working in a vets practice I can see this being something quite a few vets would say, but they don't mean it in a harsh way. We say similar about wildlife as sadly they often don't make it but doesn't mean we don't try and research/contact specialists for them etc. But I do agree the average vet should have more training in rabbits, it does upset me some vets within the practices I've worked are still doing things like not stressing the importance of RHD2 vaccines etc

I didn't see the programme, but I am sure Had I have done so there would have been some colourful language from me !

I don't watch it but that's awful. I don't think my Bumble wanted to die at all. She would have stayed with us if she could

Had she phrased it differently - such as 'Unfortunately rabbits are difficult to treat and most vets do not get enough training ....'
So, you can imagine the outburst here, then.

Her choice of words to explain why she doesn't enjoy having bunny patients could have been better but I didn't perceive her as being nasty or anti bunny - just concerned outcomes aren't generally as good. If I were a vet I don't think I'd like treating bunnies either. I hope she doesn't get flack for this

I agree Babsie (and Joey & Boo) that her wording should've been much better. But the bake off is silly, Noel Fielding goes round having a laugh with them and making silly comments so I don't think she had time to word a response properly and just made a casual comment. Of course when thinking of a specific pet I hope (and don't imagine) she'd speak like that, but as a general remark in a casual conversation I think it was ok.
