1. myxomatosis is an infectious fatel disease of rabbits caused by a virus.

2. the rabbit will be bumping into things and struggling to walk and move

3. the rabbit cannot see, and it’s muscles tense up and then after a few days it dies

4. the person killed the rabbit to put it out of its miseriy

5. I thinkm they should not use this method because it is a cruel way to kill it. If they should kill rabbits why not just trap and/or kill it with a gun.

6. “what are those funny things staring at us through the bars?”

“Hush dear. Its along story”

“Before you were born your father and Brother and myself lived in a warren a long way from here for many years when there was an out break of myxomatosis”

“whats my. Myxomatosisius”

            “myxomatosis is a deadly disease the farmers spread over all our warrens and we had to leave, buy unfortionatly your farther and brother died a few days later.” She went to the corner and sat down. “on our way to the moors I was caught in a trap that is the scar on my neck and was there for 2 days the a farmer came and put me in here”

            “well why am I here” her son said. “because you were born two weeks later so you have been here all your life”. “those funny things are humans just like the farmer”

            “we we will we ever get nout” he asked sadly “I don’t think so dear” the only cance of us geting out is if we are chose for the chop”.
