No rabbit is evil. If they have behavioural problems it is usually the result of traumatic early lives, or poor housing and other facilities for the adult pet, or a failure to consider 'fixing' them. Not all of these are down to the current owner, but all can be improved with time.

Rabbits can be trained, relatively easily, and are devoted and loving companions when we as people accept them and their manner of communicating. It can be very difficult to deal with a traumatised bun, and yours may have been so; regardless I am glad you gave it up, because what she needed was a rabbit-savvy owner.

Killing other rabbits is not evil, it is a natural reaction to serious territorial issues;
it is the owner's responsibilty to ensure that any cage is large enough and secure enough to accomodate their pet's needs;
destruction is a normal sign of a bored or unhappy rabbit.

I am honestly not hating on you, but this needs to be said. Many people own rabbits, but few actually have any understanding of them. Rabbit vetinary medicine and behavioural studies have come on leaps and bounds in the last few years, and it is beginning to be accepted that buns are great pets, but they need more companionship that is generally offered, and are are more intelligent than is generally believed.

Point of fact: The bun currently grooming my toes was once a traumatised, abused rabbit. Her ears are scarred because her first owners carried her by them. It took years to get from 'vanish when I appear' to 'accept food from my hand' to 'approach for grooming'. She is still skittish, and I doubt I will ever be able to sroke her, but she is happy and calm. And I know that she knows me because of how she reacts when I go away.

Thanks, General Buzzkill.

AYRT - I don't care.

Rabbits are the most neglected pets in the UK, and are terribly misunderstood. If one person read my comment and responded to it then it was worth it.

Seriously?

People are bringing up issues about animal care and that is your response? It wasn't funny enough or something? Anon didn't interfere with anyone else's comments in this thread.

Who is this?

Re: TROOOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!

indeed, the artist's portrayal did leave something to be desired :(

Re: TROOOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe she should have given him a different photo to work from.

Re: TROOOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!

[(Anonymous)]

I can't believe he (?) worked only with one reference, though, for such an important project. He didn't, did he?

Re: TROOOLOLOLOLOLOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!

[(Anonymous)]

I read somewhere that she sat for him twice while he was working on it. :/

I really think they should have picked a different artist. The guy who painted this (can't recall his name at the moment) has a bit of a reputation for painting unflattering portraits.

Oh...

Maybe the person who hired him hates Kate and hired him as a passive-aggressive tactic?

Anon below you is also a rabbit owner and thanks you for this comment.

*offers greens to your bun*

*offers grins to you*

Thanks; it needed to be said, and it's nice to be backed up :-)

OP here.

She was given to me while she was still young. If it had trauma, it definitely didn't get it from me or my parents. Most our animals were spoiled rotten. Her cage could have housed a small dog.

I've had dogs, guinea pigs, rats, gerbils, and mice - none of them were evil like that bunny. But they did have personalities. I had one mouse who was an escape artist, for example.

In short, I disagree that animals can't be evil by nature (like some people are), because they all have a different character.

[(Anonymous)]

OP, as someone who's had a lot of small animals over the course of my life, I think issues like this just crop up sometimes no matter what you do. I always wonder if there are genetic or neurological problems with some pets. When I was young my family had a bunch of rabbits, and all of the girls from one family line were BATSHIT crazy. Aggression, depression, anxiety, a total inability to tolerate other rabbits and sometimes people. (And eerily intelligent, to the point of figuring out how best to scare people walking by, and going on the offensive when they didn't want to be caught at the end of playtime.) The boys were all super dumb, affectionate and happy, so I don't know wtf was going on there.

[(Anonymous)]

Yea, this, really.

At some level animals never fully domesticate. It's their nature, and sometimes aggressive behavior, or "haywire" behavior, is nothing to do with abuse. It's just how some of these animals are. Some of them are probably not meant to be domesticated, but you're stuck with them, with rarely any other really humane options. Some places have no animal control, humane shelters, due to economics.

My sister and I had a brother and sister pair.
The female was also grumpy, very intelligent and damn vindictive. She was a right little madam (but she was MY little madam). The male was the dumbest, soppiest creature ever.
The rest of my family avoided the female because she would kick, bite and scratch them; but she would let me fuss her for hours as long as I didn't try and pick her up.
They both were spoiled rotten and had very happy lives. I still miss my beautiful attack bunny even though its been 20 years. *sniffle*

Or you could just eat it.

Thanks for posting this. Rabbits have strong personalities, and I think that needs to be accommodated too. Putting together buns who don't get along with each other isn't a great idea.

My adopted Netherland Dwarf is one that actually matches the breed stereotype of being "wild", and a touch aggressive, but having a steady environment with enough stimulation and space to run has turned her into a big sweetheart (albeit an extremely energetic one).
I could never have housed her with my late older rabbits, who behaved very seriously--they hated her and vice-versa, no matter how gently I tried to introduce them, so I gave up on that. None of them were/are bad rabbits, just different.
She gets along fantastically with my newest rabbit, though, who is bright and crafty enough to keep up with her. They're both sweeties, they just want human attention on their own terms (generally, one runs up to me if she wants to be stroked or something).

Oh, and, it's a good idea to get your rabbits spayed and neutered. Hormones generally make them more territorial and thus aggressive.

I'm happy that your bunny was rescued by someone with enough patience and rabbit-savvy to help her. The bit about her grooming your feet is so sweet. Even if she doesn't want to be petted, she clearly likes you.

Thank you for saying that. Some of the other replies to this secret were making me lose faith in humanity.
