They were pulling your rabbit's foot, Evan. They would no more let them loose in a field than we would drop our losing dog off at a truck stop. Rabbit people do a lot of sales at Rabbit shows, and most have no compunction of raising meat rabbits right along with show/pet rabbits…. but turn them loose? There is a rabid rabbit rescue (I like the sounds there) that is all about filing complaints about legitimate rabbit ?farmers? as they dare to have meat rabbits… or tell people how to butcher and dress rabbits.
