That pretty much sums up a rabbit's plight - and sadly all animals. They are a commitment and can live for many years and require time, money, and dedication.

Rabbits are often portrayed as cute and cuddly. You just want to pick them up and hold them. But as a prey animal, being picked up usually means "They're going to EAT ME!!!" As a result, they kick, they scratch. They fight it. And they can hurt a small child (or an adult), and hurt themselves in the process.

Plus, yeah. Rabbits are famous for their procreational urges! A pet rabbit should always be altered by a qualified vet as it will eliminate a host of behavioral and biological "issues" that frequently lead to dumps - including those "surprise" arrivals!
