Okay no.
I saw this video on facebook yesterday and I wanna clear something up.
This rabbit is not relaxed. Throughout the video, the rabbit is stiff as a board.
When rabbits are flipped onto their backs, they go into tonic immobility, which is a natural state of paralysis that rabbits and some other animals sink into. This is a protective, stress-induced behaviour that would protect them from potential threats, much like ‘playing dead’.
This is not a cute video of a rabbit enjoying a bath. This is a video of a rabbit showing stress-induced behaviour that has been known to kill rabbits. In this state, the heart and respiration rates of the rabbit lower significantly and if left for a long period of time - such as having a ‘nice relaxing bath’, can cause suffocation or indeed, a stress-induced heart atack.
A study led by Dr. Anne McBride of the University of Southampton found that rabbits show signs of extreme stress after an episode of tonic immobility. Another danger of placing a rabbit on his back is that he could break his back if he struggles against being turned over.
Never purposely place your rabbit into tonic immobility unless for medical reasons - meaning, if you’re a veterinarian or an EXPERIENCED rabbit handler or groomer. Intentionally inflicting severe stress on your pet to gain views for your cute video is fucking disgusting and abusive.FINALLY. THANK YOU.
YOU ARE ALSO NEVER SUPPOSED TO PUT YOUR RABBIT IN A BATH, THEY NEVER NEED IT NATURALLY AND IT STRESSES THEM, POSSIBLY LETTING THEM DIE OF SHOCK. YOU SHOULD ONLY PUT THEM IN WATER IF IT IS 110% NECESSARY WHEN THEY’RE SICK OR HAVE DIARRHEA, AND DO SO VERY VERY CAREFULLY IN ONLY AN INCH OR TWO OF WATER, AND DRY THEM REALLY WELL, BECAUSE OTHERWISE THEY WILL BE FREEZING (THICK FUR). YOU CAN ALSO ONLY DO THAT IF YOU’RE AN EXPERIENCED BUNNY HANDLER, WHICH THIS IDIOT OBVIOUSLY ISN’T
SO REPEAT AFTER ME, EVERYONE
BUNNIES DON’T GO IN WATER

I want to stress this again: In many, many parts of the country right now, if you want to go to see a movie in the theater and see a current movie about a woman — any story about any woman that isn’t a documentary or a cartoon — you can’t. You cannot. There are not any. You cannot take yourself to one, take your friend to one, take your daughter to one.
There are not any.
By far your best shot, numbers-wise, at finding one that’s at least even-handedly featuring a man and a woman is Before Midnight (on 891 screens) so I hope you like it. Because it’s pretty much that or a solid, impenetrable wall of movies about dudes.
Dudes in capes, dudes in cars, dudes in space, dudes drinking, dudes smoking, dudes doing magic tricks, dudes being funny, dudes being dramatic, dudes flying through the air, dudes blowing up, dudes getting killed, dudes saving and kissing women and children, and dudes glowering at each other.
Somebody asked me this morning what “the women” are going to do about this. I don’t know. I honestly am at the point where I have no idea what to do about it. Stop going to the movies? Boycott everything?
They put up Bridesmaids, we went. They put up Pitch Perfect, we went. They put up The Devil Wears Prada, which was in two-thousand-meryl-streeping-oh-six, and we went (and by “we,” I do not just mean women; I mean we, the humans), and all of it has led right here, right to this place. Right to the land of zippedy-doo-dah. You can apparently make an endless collection of high-priced action flops and everybody says “win some, lose some” and nobody decides that They Are Poison, but it feels like every “surprise success” about women is an anomaly and every failure is an abject lesson about how we really ought to just leave it all to The Rock.

The whole article is fantastic, as is pretty much everything Linda Holmes writes.

“I used to feel the need to just pull faces at the end of takes because it was like I wasn’t able to be silly in any way, I had to be so straight down the line all the time that I’d have these little ejaculations at the end of each take where I’d have to kind of […] cough out the stupidity.” - Simon Pegg, on mugging while filming Hot Fuzz.
