Read this lovely little piece today:

...I must inform you that my own rabbit, Ms. Cleo, took this time to eat through a power cord that costs somewhere in the neighborhood of $64.99. Then, when I tried to catch her and return her to her room (yes, she has her own room. We used to call it my office, but now we are only allowed in with her permission), she assaulted me with her claws, causing my arms to look like I had been in a particularly violent scratching war with one or more children and/or deranged manicurists.
...The case against Bunnies is simple: They live a long time and many, Like Ms. Cleo, are unhappy throughout. Even Ms. Beusman, in a private conversation which I am now making public (freedom of the press, Callie!), has admitted that her rabbit does not cuddle. She's cute to look at, yes, but she also digs (bunnies love to dig. It is adorable — no, must not admit that) violently and has threatened to bite her coven leader on the knee.
...We love our bunny, James Bond, but he does get a bit smelly and thanks to him I need to get the carpet cleaned. When I was in college, I had a bunny named Rosebud, who was a boy bunny. He had a thing for my large stuffed aardvark toy. Seriously. Much rabbit DNA was spilled on that aardvark. Then, one day, my future ex husband was hanging out watching TV, chillin' on the floor of my apartment. Rosebud mistook his buzzcut for the beloved aardvark and, well, things got ugly...
:banghead
It's sad how ignorant people can be of an animal whose LIFE they've assumed responsibility of! Simply desexing and socialising their bunnies, bunnyproofing the house and using brain cells to understand the un-cuddly nature of the typical prey animal could have prevented ALL of the unpleasant "proof" that bunnies are monsters being detailed in that article.
Bunnies are lovely, amazing, entertaining companions when they're treated right. I'm not a registered commenter on Jezebel but I really hope someone enlightens these bunny owners.
