I personally have a big problem with this.
For one thing ... yes, wild rabbits live in very cold climates .... but they are wild rabbits, with dense coats, not domesticated pets. Also, they dig burrows deep under ground, where they can escape the weather. A pet rabbit locked in a wire hutch is unable to find shelter.
I HATE animals kept outside in the cold, or heat, or rain. If you are going to get a pet, it should live in the house, as part of the family, IMO. Otherwise, why bother to get a pet at all??

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
