No, they ALL aren't big, white and have pink eyes. Not at all. They look like normall pet bunnies. The kind you find in the pet store or in peoples homes. The ones who love there owners and binky around the room providing us with hours of intertanment. They are normal everyday rabbits.

People do eat rabbits you know
I hate to say this, but lots of folks eat rabbit. I don't, but there are many people who raise them for meat, just like chickens and ducks etc. I don't like the idea of "pet" rabbits being turned into dinner any more than the next person. I didn't read the entire thread, and look at every picture. Did I miss the part where you say how you know that they will become "meat rabbits".... ???
Anyway, I think these guys look like pets, but I suspect it has to do with more of how they are raised, than anything - not how they look to us. Some people do not make pets out of their rabbits - like cows - sheep - pigs - chickens..... and then eat them......
