Unfortunatly there aer no regulations or laws as to who can buy an animal. Which does suck. Particularly in the case of small animals that people don't know how to care for. We had one abused rabbit brought in by the neighbours. They stole it!!!! They admited this right off the bat. The lady who orginaly owned it had alzhimers and never rembered the thing, her daughter had given it too her. The neighbors called the police on the rabbit several times, but they didn't do anything. Then she called us several times, but we said we could just come and take the animal. So she did what she felt she had to do. We took the rabbit anyway and found it a better home (it was in really bad shape, took a month to get it back to health). It was a very strange case.

I'm glad to hear that you guys get your rabbits from shelters rather than pet stores. It really it the way to go. Nothing is better than a Second Chance Pet.
