Rabbit rescue targeted by TRAs

245 replies

I saw Rosie Duffield tweet about this the other day. A charity that rescues rabbits has been coming under attack from TRAs. I'm not entirely sure what their 'crime' is; I think it's to do with an account they have followed. Which makes them actual Nazis of course 🙄

This is their X account. They (and the bunnies) could do with some support

The more they have the usual moody men going for them and spewing bile, the more supporters they're attracting. Hopefully Birdie's art work on their merchandise will make them additional funds.

Anyone else watching the bunnies get loads of treats with all the extra dosh being donated?

It's really heartwarming and they're so cute!!

There is something about watching a bunny eat a strawberry that is just too damned cute.

I read The Plague Dogs when I was about 8. Thankfully I didn't understand it.

I've donated to the bunnies who are also on FB for those not on X.

I love Bright Eyes, I want it at my funeral (hopefully not for a while). I don’t want there to be a dry eye in the house 😂

I remember singing Bright Eyes in my school choir in junior school (decades ago, I am old). The parents all cried.

Problem is, how would one punish the weirdies bothering rabbit charities? They may not even be in the UK.

Same- it's a shame he broke up w Simon & then kind of faded out.

I hope those TRAs threatening them are punished. This kind of malicious complaint, esp on a tiny charity, should have some sort of penalty. At the very least, they should be kicked off X.

The book is awfully sad too, but it's not as bad as you might think : all the characters survive. But the bits about what happened in the warren they left are horrible. Nobody should listen to Art Garfunkel singing Bright Eyes, either.. 😪

I bloody love Art Garfunkel 😍

Back in 2016 someone at Channel 5 had the bright idea of putting Watership Down on on Easter Sunday. Cue loads of complaints from parents who sat their kids down to watch it thinking it was a cute bunny film. And then they did it again the next year in an attempt to make it a tradition, or possibly just troll those who had complained the year before.

I'm old enough to remember the little kid in the bunny suit singing "Bright Eyes" on Tiswas, although I could've sworn the bunny suit was blue and a bit less plushy, and that his singing was somewhat more flat. Maybe he was unavailable one week and they got an imposter in?

And now I've earwormed myself with that, to go along with "Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!" from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Great.

'Sick' decision to air 'horrific' Watership Down on Easter Sunday angers parents

Everyone agrees it's "definitely not a kids' film" - but some people thought it was a great joke

Watership Down. "All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you."

I can still visualise the poster. Someone at college even had it up on their wall. God knows what they were thinking.

Still traumatised.

I've just seen that they have a new collection of merch.

Following them on IG now, will donate as soon as I can. Anyone know if the Tranquil Bunny rescue has an IG to follow? I don't use X.

If you were upset by Watership Down, do not, under any circumstances, read The Plague Dogs.

Oh gods, I’m still traumatised! I was crying on the first page. Not helped by the fact that I had a little black and white terrier at the time.

I feel like Blocked and Reported need to cover this, it’s absolutely barking (sorry bunnies). Glad it turned out well for the good people at Carrot Cottage!

That's on my list. I was hoping it wasn't worse!

Treaclewell · 09/06/2025 09:42

I find this simply unbelievable. That someone should have attacked in the first place and then said it wasn't them it was a false flag attack to elicit funds.
Like the medieval bunny!
Is theis in the national press anywhere? It really needs to be spread about. I once saw a wild buck on look out duty for his warren seeing off a stoat (or weasel) with a loud thumping to warn the rest, and a threatening advance on the mustelid. Wh8ich retreated. This needs that spirit to oppose it.
It is mad.

Yes, I remember that in W Down...Exactly roght! We need to expose these vile bullies.

Or watch the film.

Oh my god don't ever watch it, Helle. It's fucking brutal.

I think I would be alternatively looking from behind my hands or sobbing.

I watched Watership Down when I was about four and was so traumatised I haven't seen it since. IIRC, some of those bunnies were bloody terrifying. Have we considered that one of them has found the password and is accessing right-wing accounts on Twitter?

I have never been able to watch it. I heard bunnies were traumatised in it and have always been too sensitive to watch it.

BettyBooper · 08/06/2025 21:42

Are they genuinely claiming that MN instigated a fake TRA attack on a bunny sanctuary to gain clicks on X?

Or have I missed something? Honestly the bonkersness at the moment is very hard to follow...

How did they instigate the attack? Honestly, these horrible people deserve to be pursued to the gates of hell by multiple Grneral Woundworts...

General Woundwort gave me nightmares.

When I was 5, my mum took to a Panto of wizard of oz at our local tiny arts place. Dorothy was ill, so they showed a film instead. Watershed Down was not a good choice for small kids......

Watershed Down? Bunny porn!

This story just makes me think of the Liver Birds.
