I wrote the House Rabbit group a question to their “chewing@rabbit.org” address as I had a question about chewing rabbits:
Hi,
I looked all over your site, but I couldn’t find any recipes for rabbit. I’m really interested one for rabbit fricassee. Do you have a section/link please?
Thanks,

My darling kids had two rabbits kept in a hutch in our back yard. One of our neighbors had a dog, a Rottweiler, who was normally quite pleasant and friendly and well behaved.
But one day the Rotter escaped from his fenced back yard and ended up in my (unfenced) back yard, barking insanely and clawing at the rabbit hutch wire. Apparently there was bad blood between the rabbits and the dog; I suspect the rabbits were rude to him at some previous encounter.
As I later explained to the dog’s owner, the rabbits behaved in an amazing manner. While the smaller one hid in the hutch sleeping box, the larger one opened the door on the hutch, hopped over to the firewood pile, selected a stout oak log, and smashed the Rotty over the noggin with the very hard wood. The dog was of course very startled by this rabbit aggression and ran away home, crying in pain at the gash on its head. The rabbit then hopped back into the hutch and latched the door closed behind it.
I didn’t believe my eyes. And when I told the rather upset dog owner what I had seen, he had a hard time believing it, too. Strangest thing I’ve ever seen a rabbit do, to this day.

These trumped up, incompetently handled “raids” always seem to end up with permanent harm done to the person raided, before there’s even any trial. What’s with the pre-trial punishment?

SSS. That batch deserved it.

mikee, I saw something in the real world not unlike your fantasy. An escaped bull lop-ear was ambling through a garden lot, and a big but timid collie nosed around, no doubt thinking to herd it. The buck rolled over onto his back, and used his considerable hindquarters to box the dog’s head. The dog yelped, the rabbit continued ambling. It was the most outrageous animal exchange I’d ever witnessed. Called for a sound track by Carl Stalling.
I like to say that in the state of nature, without neutering and de-horning, sheep do remarkably well without sheepdogs to watch over them. I don’t like to say that about rabbits, but by god sir it is true.
