Still, this was about pet bunnies, not food farmed ones? It sounds like excess.

No, the logic is very simple ~ people who breed rabbits also breed disease ~ pet bunnies pass it along ~ and it may get into the hutches of breeders who produce them for meat and rabbit's feet!

It's a small enough market that you have to treat small breeders (handful of rabbits changing hands each year) just like the large breeders.

I'm not sure if the rules protect the meat market all that well, but they do rope in folks who can't imagine they are major players.
