Video transcript

I really love rabbits. They are so cute and cuddly. I really want one but I cannot have one because I have a cat and a dog and the cat does not like rabbits at all. However, I will tell you a lot about rabbits so you and other people can understand how nice they are. You may think about rabbits as a pest, destroying crops, but we eat chicken. We do not have to eat chicken. Rabbits eat crops. They have to to survive. We could become vegetarian. But people overlooked this simple fact and created a mortal enemy to the rabbit kind. Its name - Myxomatosis, a disease to wipe out the rabbit kind. It makes horrible things happen and if no one can help them, they die. But in many ways, rabbits are like us. They eat to survive and will go to any odds to defend their young. And if humans tried to make a disease to wipe out rabbits, rabbits have just as much right to wipe out people.
