Thank you for posting this Catherine.
Yes, some people think a rabbit can automatically live outside in the wild. But it is not true. The rabbits which are bred to be pets are totally different from the wild rabbits. The domesticated ones do not stand a chance outside. They maybe have 24 hours of life left.
Foxes, Buzzards, Coyotes, even cats, regularly take rabbits as prey. The domesticated ones have not got a clue what to do to avoid being eaten. Even if they survive predators, they do not know how to cope in the wild.
