Summary: A great source perhaps light on a couple of topics.
Comment: There seems to be two rival audiences for this book: the breeder and the pet owner. Although this book presents pretty much everything either one of them will need to do what it is they want to do, the pet owners are put off by the slaughter sections. Hopefully putting aside any subjective values, I think this book serves both camps admirably. The breeder is easily satisfied but, in the author's defense, I don't think the "I just want a Mopsy" camp can be appeased without completely eliminating sections crucial to the breeder camp. Topics I found wanting or missing: 1) For the pet camp, house breaking. 2) For the breeder, tanning. 3) Also for the breeder, more on slaughter and cleaning. I may be being too critical on this last topic since, because I am personally so unsure in this area, I was left wanting. Perhaps the topic is adequately covered but my own insecurities makes me feel like I'm missing something. Bottom line (and isn't this what we all want): If you're thinking about rabbits, get this book.

Summary: PETA member picks up book thinking it's about pet rabbits!
Comment: I was at the library, wondering if rabbits made good pets, and I picked up this book. It was right beside dog training books, books about cats, etc. But, unfortunately, as I found out when I got home, this book is about raising rabbits to sell for meat. The last chapter is horrific- after going into detail about how to raise these beautiful creatures, the author goes about telling the reader how to destroy it, and which spices taste nice on its skin. No thanks. I just want a Mopsy.

Summary: WONDEFUL! Highly recommended!!
Comment: This book has taught me the majority of what I know about rabbits. It is wonderful and I am glad I made the decision to check it out, even though I only keep rabbits as pets. :-)
Bob Bennett is extremely knowledgeable about rabbits and this book goes to show that. GREAT book!
The only thing about it that I can see would be a problem with most pet owners is the section on rabbits used for fur/food. I understand that this is merely one use for domestic rabbits and I am completely fine with that. But to some other pet owners, this may be found offensive. This is why I must add that for those who are against the use of rabbits for commercial purposes, please either skip those pages or get a different book.
Other than that, I must say that this book deserves more than 5 stars!
