Rating:  Summary: Stories rabbits tell? Review: This may be a good read for those interested solely in the rabbit as a house pet, however the section on commercial breeding is factually inaccurate and loaded with the authors' bias. As someone that has given much of my free time over the past 15 years to the study of rabbits I found the book to strongly tell only half of the story and misrepresented the other half. Facts are facts and opinion is opinion and both have value to readers. However, this book presents itself as a factual history of the rabbit when in actuality the author blends facts with the her own cultural opinion. Seemingly, this book could have been written by/for animal rights activists inasmuch as it didn't let facts stand in the way of promoting the animal rights agenda while giving shoddy treatment to this animal's wonderful contributions to world agriculture both currently and historically. As a long time collector of rabbit literature, with over one hundred books written since the early 1900's, I can only give this book one star. Had it stayed on topic and not strayed into the political arena I believe it would have been better received.
Rating:  Summary: Valuable Book about Rabbits Review: This was a fascinating and helpful book full of valuable information about Rabbits. This book really helps one to understand all about Rabbits. The authors are two very knowledgeable individuals with a wealth of practical and hands on Rabbit experience. They gathered information from others with much Rabbit knowledge and experience also. A must have book for every Rabbit caretaker.
