Evil rabbits


I have always wondered if a rabbit can be evil. I mean, like an angry dog or some breeds of cats. Just looking at this fluffy creature makes you wonder: "How can such a cutie be mean?!" But you can say the same about some beautiful young blonde, who can turn out to have a nasty temper. So recently I have come across a really mean rabbit.

My friend bought a baby rabbit. The bunny was really adorable and looked like one of those cartoon characters. I wanted to take it and look at it more closely, but the rabbit growled and tried to bite my hand. "What the hell!!!". The bite itself was not as surprising as the fact that such a fairy tale creature can be so aggressive. An evil bunny - it's something almost supernatural and very creepy.

"She's quite a monster", - I told my friend, - "Are you sure she's not possessed?".

Later I did some research on rabbits and found out that just like any other creature, rabbits can have different personalities, emotions and feelings. And certain environments leave traces in the rabbit mind and can cause rabbits to develop aggressive traits when defending themselves, their home and food supplies. Much like us, humans. My friend's poor rabbit might have been treated badly by her previous owner, or she was just afraid of the stranger.

In any case, denying a creature the right for a particular personality or natural emotions just because she's cute is at least weird. So yes, even the most adorable things in the world can be mean and there's nothing supernatural about it.
