Triggering

[poliphilo]

I took the gamble that no predator would come that close to the house in daytime- and left the rabbits unattended- and a fox came by and ate them....

This morning I'm thinking of all the things I ever did wrong in my lifetime. Believe me, it's quite a list.

Oh, that is sad. But the only way to have kept them totally safe would have been to keep them indoors all the time and I'm sure they enjoyed having more freedom.

Sadly rabbits are prey animals. As you say, wild ones usually don't make it adulthood, hence why they have to breed so prolifically.

Towards the end they got a taste of the great outdoors. Tolkien revelled in it. Trigger found it a bit frightening- but then he found everything a bit frightening.

Guess he had a point.
